Cool !
I've had that same timing light for decades, dirt-simple and reliable as an anvil.

I still have and use my old Chrome Craftman bought when I was still high school age.
I think many still use them as well.
I must be a nut but as places closed down I grabbed stuff up.
Have a head light adjusting system from an old full service gas station.
It sticks on to the bulbs and has bubble levels .used it 2 or 3 times only.
And two static tire balancers I used to use it a good bit. But now just now and then.

That's a smoking deal. I got mine circa 1977, I think for $150? I don't have dwell to check anymore but last I checked (Dad still has points in his '70) it was all still working. I was still a mechanic when I got my set, the dwell failed almost immediately, so I asked our Sun service guy if he could do anything with it. He just laughed and said call ACTRON, it's their stuff with our name on it. So FWIW, my dwell meter is a warranty replacement.

Been years for me as,well on Dwell. But nice to know I can if I ever have to again.
I had an old Craftsman back then but it does.
Back when I had a slant six duster seemed like every six month's it needed points cleaned and adjusted.

I needed a,remote starter and someone never gave the vacume gauge back I loaned out. And had a cheap compression tester they got too.
So I made out like a bandit.
So having my stuff not returned paid off for once.
Had tgey not screwed me I would not have been looking.
I do still have an old friends 500 dollar hammer I never gave back.
He borough's 500 in cash and I never saw him again.
But he forgot his hammer so I always call it my 500 dollar hammer.
Be careful who you loan stuff out to.
