New Information: We just located the original 6" face plate, a lathe dog and 2 wrenches that go with the tooling for this Universal Test Stand. We also have an aftermarket rocker style tool post which we are including. We should also say that with a new flat belt and one wire fixed this would be a fully functional and usable piece of vintage equipment.
Museum Quality, Vintage Automotive, 1925, ELMCO (The Electric Machine Corporation) Universal Test Stand, Used: This 1925 Vintage ELMCO Universal Test Stand is in excellent Condition. With very little work this test stand will be a usable functioning piece of equipment. The wiring is in excellent condition. One minor repair necessary. It needs a new flat belt and someone stole the rocker style tool post. There is a small broken piece of a cast shroud to the left of the headstock. The picture of the tooling shows the missing broken casting piece 90% there. This automotive test stand was used to perform tests on Ford Model A’s and other vehicles. It tested: generators; magnetos; commutators; commutator segments for grounds; armature windings; field coils; ignitions and condensers (Everything that you needed to keep your Model A running for over 400,000 miles at 25 miles to the gallon). This machine has a built in lathe and electrical test panel. Some tooling (see pictures), a copy of operating instructions, a packing slip of parts and other instructions are included with this machine. The eventual buyer will be responsible for crating and shipping. The Kent’s Tools 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee applies to the machine and its parts being included and as represented in our pictures. This vintage Universal Test Stand will become the show piece of a vintage repair shop or museum.
