Nice vintage tool. I have one that is from the early 1900's by Starrett (I believe) used for steam-powered "stuff". Mechanicals are cool, but I prefer an accurate and direct reading using a modern laser tach.
And you did not even know you had it! Sounds like my shop!
Was going to try it today, but something is wrong.
It has a knob that sets it for low, med, and high speed.
The knob will not turn to all the speeds.
Took the side cover off and it seems the part that changes the gears is not moving.
Something is stuck on the knob.
I'll try and take it apart a little more later.
Ugggggggggggggg another project to get to,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, sooner or later.
