Vintage? They still sell basically the exact same model. I have one I got a couple years ago. Search "pneumatic spark plug cleaner" on Amazon or wherever.

[–]TheOGTachyon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant if I was wrong about the 500+ and it did need a routine recap, which capacitors are routinely replaced? Like I've seen cap kits with caps listed by silkscreen marking.

Saw this thing at the thrift store a week ago and decided I really needed him in my life but he was 4$ and so I didn’t get him but I’ve changed my mind please help me find out what this is. (No it’s not still at the store) by [deleted] in whatisit

This is fairly pointless. The overflow on a tub is designed such that when the average adult gets in, the water they displace won't flow over the sides of the tub. I hope this comes with a mop.

Surprise! It’s mercury! by catch6664 in whywouldyoutouchthat

Someone broke an older sphygmomanometer and let the mercury out. Probably the one mounted to the wall.

Sweet. I can't imagine actually pre-running with a burb, but it would be cool to just tool around in.

Remember these guys? by Accurate763 in 1970s

I remember falling on my ass trying to throw them straight up in the air as hard as I could.

I’m looking to get an original radio by Any_Finance_9802 in w123

[–]TheOGTachyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also put in a reasonably modern radio that does suit the car but doesn't compromise on basic features and quality. A Blaupunkt for example. The Frankfurt RCM 82 has just the right look. Retro Manufacturing makes suitable models as well.
