One of my 4 CH has a gauge missing and was looking for a new one..... search hi and Low for a small voltmeter.....convinced I needed a voltmeter...and of course could not find one ....Jordan told me Mac Auto had them,,,,,so went through the index of my 2017 MacAutocatalogue with no success..... then realized that my Old Mac AUto cat. only covered from the Ford model B 1932 and needed to look up Model A 1930... Jordan sent me a link from FB and there it was a replacement..... amp meter but still had doubts until Imadde it ot the barn today and Jordan was right it is a amp meter that I need..... which of course is not temporarily out of stock.....

So for the record....... IT IS a amp meter that I need and it fits a 1 5/8 hole in the control box........ finding a small one is the tricky part......... next regular size up is 2 1/16 or 2 5/8...... As suggested I tapped into LWD for parts and they are already on the way......

As far as the color and lettering for the control red dial, I may follow Jordan's suggestions of using a dry transfer/paint over than remove the letter process more in line with my big fingers.......

All my sheet metal has been sandblasted but it is too cold to paint in the barn and spraying paint inside the house workshop next to the wood stove is rather dangerous...... no sure if the fumes are dangerous but the risk of my wife smelling it would be very dangerous.....!!!!!!

Some of the original wiring will be reconditioned by using "liquid tape".....2 or 3 coats......thereby saving the original crimped/soldered original thick copper connectors.

Question for Mike..... where is the "resistance" located in the screened ignition lead????

Tim Bell..... the Chore Horse units that I have are all made by Outboard Marine Corp. from Peterborough, Ontario (OMC) and may have been done under license that came from the Iron Horse engine set up for Maytag washing machines........ some original design of that motor set up goes back to the late 1928 era....

There is one for sale around here listed at over 1200 dollars.....hihihi.... in as is condition with missing parts...

Stay tuned.
