    I came across this gauge tonight while I was cleaning up.



    I found some numbers on it





    Not sure but am guessing it is from '79
    I plugged it in and It works, just not sure how to adjust the time.

    You adjust the time with the pin on the bottom right .. there should be a plastic knob that goes on that.

    Push a short bit of vacuum line over the stump, and a short piece if the rubber vacuum hose over that, and you have a working knob
