Hello everyone!!
Before I moved over to management, I was a technician for many years. Over a 40+ year period, I've accumulated many tools and test instruments such as dial indicators, depth micrometers, calipers, crank megger tester, multimeters, etc... . I was cleaning out my shop and sorting thru all those tools and came across this James G. Biddle tachometer. It dates back to the 1950's and once belonged to my father. I've kept all of those test instruments in my tool chests for all those years. This tachometer is still in perfect condition. But, this was made back when tools were made to last. Everything today is in digital form, but I still prefer the old analog meters and test instruments, such as this. The case measures 5" long and 3 1/2" wide and about 1" deep.
Thanks very much for taking time to stop in for a look!!

Very cool vintage tachometer Scott, so nice that it was your father's and is so well preserved. Great collection in your toolbox, what is/was your technician specialty...my husband retired a couple yrs ago, he was a longtime microscope repair tech/foreman
Jenni,
Thank you!!! I have several of my father's test instruments. I was an industrial water chiller technician. I serviced and rebuilt large tonnage centrifugal chillers for an OEM manufacturer. I just celebrated my 40th year there back in February.

Cool tool Scott! Love old tools and the fact that it was dad's makes it more personal. I have lots of my dad's old tools too.
Wow Scott, you're in such a specialized field, that's awesome. Congratulations on your 40th yr!
Dave,
Thanks!! I have his depth micrometer and dial indicator as well. I'll have to post those sometime soon.
Jenni,
Thanks!! I have a few more years and I'll finally bow out of the business. For now, I have younger technicians doing the service and rebuilds.
