Description: 1963 Austin Healey Speedometer from England - Go 140 MPH Without Ever Leaving your Office Desk! Do you want to go really fast without any of the risks? Just place this little beauty on your desktop and you can drive as fast as you want (vicariously of course) without the fear of Johnny giving you a ticket! History: They just don't make them like this anymore... "Smiths" manufactured this 140MPH speedometer in Abingdon England specifically for the "Big Healey's" (Mark III - 3000, BJ8) produced between 1963 - 1968... The BJ8 model was the most powerful and luxurious of the Big Healey's, with a walnut-veneer dash, wind-up windows, and a strong 150 hp engine. Improvements to the engine included a new camshaft and valve springs, and twin SU 2" HD8 carburetors, together with a newly designed exhaust system. These Big Healey's have a long competition history, and raced at most major racing circuits around the world, including Sebring, Le Mans (France), and Mount Panorama Circuit, Bathurst (Australia). As far as I can tell, the BJ8 3000's had a limited production run of only 17,712 units between 1963 - 1968... Materials: This speedometer is unaltered and still contains the "dash mount" and tripometer reset knurled knob... I took this apart, cleaned it up and polished out the chassis before mounting it to some aluminum, brass and iron plumbing bits. I coated everything with a satin clear finish to preserve this same appearance for a very long time. It stands at 7.5 inches tall and weighs about 4-5 pounds. This piece is a must have for any guy's desktop! This full assembly is for sale for less that it would cost to find one in this condition for your Healey restoration project. Please call, text or e-mail me for more information. Price = $149.00 |
Description: Steam Punk Docking Station, when new age sound meets heavy iron of the past... This is an Industrial iPod Dock that will really surprise you! It's a docking station for your iPhone, iPod, iPad, TV, Cable or any other media with "audio output" capabilities. You only need to supply the audio source. It contains a Class-T stereo amplifier in the back of the unit that puts out 20 watts RMS and sounds incredible! As seen, is configured for mono operation on this single speaker, but if you have another speaker of any type, you can hook it up in 60 seconds for a stereo configuration. There is a simple 120 volt plug in the back of this unit with one power switch that provides power to a "Thomas Edison" 30 watt light bulb and the Class-T amplifier. The amplifier has a separate power switch, and 3 simple controls for volume, bass and treble. The amplifier will accept an 1/8 inch input audio source jack or RCA type input jacks. Materials: I use recycled speakers and refurbish them both cosmetically and functionally. I replace the drivers and crossovers if needed to insure sound integrity. The plumbing hardware is new and or recycled with a nice patina look. All internal connections are soldered for safety and longevity. These are very unique pieces that will add that industrial look to any room! I have made two of these already and my customers love them! I can take special orders with my own sourced speakers or use a speaker that you may want to recycle. Pricing will range from $160 - $270 Please call, text or e-mail for pricing as it depends on the speaker options. Price = $160.00 |
Description: An old Refurbished Warehouse Explosion Proof Lamp. This very retro looking lamp is suspended from a series of pulleys on a fabricated wall mount. This piece has a porcelain patina shade and is on a rotary dimmer. The height can be adjusted on the pulley system. I have made two of these with the exact same pulley system. The other one has a 16 inch green porcelain barn lamp hanging from it. Price = $299.00 each |
Description: 40’s Gauge Cluster. This gauge cluster is mounted on a locking differential and welded to a Ford 9 inch ring gear. This thing weighs about 35 pounds! When the gauge cluster is twisted all of the internal gears turn in unison! Very cool desk piece for the gear head in your house! Price = $225.00 |
