What is this?

In the trunk of a 442 project I have acquired, I found about 6
different harnesses. None of them are for the 442, just a pile of spaghetti.
Could it be that electronic box that some of the 67's had, UHV or whatever
they called it? Does it have any worth? It looks to be restorable.

I know it's my first post here, but that looks like an amplifier to me. I'm more than likely incorrect, however.

UHV Amplifier.

I have no idea what it's worth.

A working UHV amplifier is worth big bucks. I just paid $20 for a non-working one on ebay that I plan to install a HEI module into.

Thanks for the info guys. I took the back off of it, looks mint.
Not a speck of dirt or corrosion. All the leads are there and uncut as well.
Gasket wasn't stuck and can go right back on. Screws came right out too.
Could someone use it for $40+ ship?

The part number is stamped on the left side of the lip opposite side to the harness, to the left of the centre screw. Could be 1111020, or 1111019.

Thanks for that bit of info Yellowstatue. The # is 1118020.
That 8 had me going for while, looked like a 5 then a 6...time for new glasses. Now that I look at the pic I posted, it looks like a 5 again, ha ha.
