FYI, The SUN Sleuth I and II were among the last live screen scopes from SUN. Plus they did allot of other functions and had a dial back timing light. They had adapters for coil pack ignition and of course HEI. Very nice machine and MUCH smaller than the older stuff. Probably weighed less than 100 lbs. They made a fair number of them and I see therm around various shops still. Obviously became obsolete when scan tools had more capability starting in 1996. I see these for $300.00-500.00 regularly on Facebook and Craigslist. If you can verify it works, a really nice tool. One for sale on facebook marketplace right now in PA for $350.00 asking. Looks very nice.

Those machines have a little collector value. My buddy has restored a couple and also did a distributor machine. He has had a lot of interest in them from others. Some parts are hard to find and there are some newer more modern electrical parts to make them work. On the west side of Michigan, near Grand Rapids I think, there is a person who makes either decals or the lettering for the machines. They look brand new when my buddy gets done with them.

Pretty cool instruments when they're working properly.

I would love to have one of those distributor testers but I'll probably have to cobble something together myself. This stuff just doesnt come up for sale here..
