Oldsmobile Service Cabinet

I just picked up a thermostat testing cabinet. It's red with white lettering and white triangle. Who else has a cabinet like this? Curious to see what's out there. I'll get a pic of mine soon.

I can't wait to see pictures. I love old tools, cabinets, diagnostic machines, etc. I been collecting them for a while now and I am always on the lookout for cool things to add to the garage.

I have several of these kit in various stages of condition and completeness. There are many testers that come in that kit.

Matt, I have one of these in pretty nice shape with most of the components. It is a cool piece to have and it is dated 1970 which is cool because that is what years most of my cars are!

Anybody have any thoughts on the value of one empty with a few misc. decals stuck to it? I have a line on one for $50.00.

Olds engine componet testing cabinet

This one came out of a local dealer that was going out of business. It was empty. Looks like it was mounted on a wall. They are well made.

I bought an empty on Ebay a year or so ago. I think I gave around $50 for it.

The paint on mine is rougher and I have some of the pieces. I paid $20. I think I saw a cabinet for sale on here a couple of years ago but don't know if it was the same cabinet. It was red with the same lettering and triangle but I thought it was bigger.

$50 doesn't seem like a bad price.

Here's mine. A little rough but it'll look cool on the wall. It's missing the burner and the belt tension gauge.
