Steampunk parts

Postby Soñadora » Sun Mar 26, 2017 8:59 pm

My sister has asked me to make her a steampunk light fixture. Anyone have any tips on where to find vintage gauges?

Especially interested in salvage yards vs. ebay or boutique stores.

Rick, if you find a source, I would REALLY like to capture some temperature and pressure gauges from the '20s. I'm starting to collect vintage instruments that I can put modern movements into so that they look like they are from when MAYAN was built.

Rick, Beau.

I think I still have a box of old gauges in my hangar. I'll check tomorrow.

Remind me if I forget.
