history is hard to find! I think they were on the order of $25 each in the
early 2000s. Although the inflation happened pretty regularly.
I was looking at some old posts from 2002, folks were discussing the
outrageous price of $800 for a box of 100 ZM-1040 tubes :)

be enough to get you what you need to know. If you have the part in hand,

neat! That reminds me...I also have one of those 1950s looking berkely
counters. It's actually a 5510C Universal Counter and Timer. This is one
I made this clock around 2002, and made the video around 2008.

I probably need to update the web page! But anyways, the clock quit working
not long after I made the video, and has just sat doing nothing. For
The only part of the sender that would need to be replaced, is the
resistor. They are interchangeable, as long as you get a replacement that
is not too many years away from the original. I've done the opposite a few
times, swapping an early resistor onto a newer sender. The resistor is part

interesting...I've had to do the opposite, when I put a later tank in an
older truck. Sounds like you're using a newer gauge in an older GM vehicle.
I would find a sending unit from a late 60s vehicle, and swap the resistor
onto the original sending unit. It's not very difficult.

The original gauge, for use with the 30 ohm sender (from a 57 Chevy) has a
resistance from sender wire to ground of 200 ohms, and from sender to power
of 50 ohms.

Looks good! Old computers are fun, they still do what they used to do when
they cost a lot, but now they're cheap and we can discuss them on the
internet
I cheated on my vintage computer nixie clockI used one of David's old

One way we used to test automotive ignition systems is to hold a neon bulb
(such as an NE-2) next to the spark plug wire, and see if the bulb glows.

I have the 775 schematic, not the 705. it's on my web page as noted above.
It's been ten years...I forgot most of the little bit I knew about them.
