lump Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Do you recognize this dash panel with SW gauges? I got it long ago at an estate auction of an old car guy. At first I thought it might be from a boat, or an old hot rod. But that tach only goes to 5,000 rpm. And the plywood body doesn't seem to make sense for any marine equipment. I note that it has an engine hours gauge included. Hmmm... Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Wetherbee Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Having a tachometer and hour meter I would guess some form of equipment or maybe a boat?? Either way a non road type of vehicle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oily rag Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 No speedo or fuel gauge indicates a stationary unit or heavy equipment. The lever on the right is for a rod not a cable. The hour meter voltage could help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinneyhill Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Top right gauge is for Engine Hours. Definitely industrial or boat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30DodgePanel Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) If it's boat then make sure the life vest's are ready.. If it's industrial make sure the fire extinguisher is charged... Scary ! Actually this brings back old memories looking at that homemade jobber... We used to do a lot of sand blasting with an ancient tag along IR compressor. The controls that the owner put together on that thing were frightening to say the least (Oh how I long for the days when OSHA wasn't so cool) but year after year we got it done one bridge at a time. Without fail it kept up with everything we threw at it. Now it just sits in the old yard but I'm sure with a bit of coaxing she would fire right up again but you can bet the fire extinguisher would be much closer this time around...
