64studeavanti Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Since Sun was the go to tach during that era, I posit #1 - Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacey Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Even though Sun was a big name way back then I think it was a Stewart-Warner unit so #2 is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
