Bruce built one of these. He offered the Old Smoky for sale here. The adapter should cost $ 200.00. The machine was then included for free.😂😂😂

I found two of these gauges and standoff's in my P.O.Box today. What a surprise. Well all of other
projects for the day were put on the back burner. The top hole was drilled and tapped for Wilesco's
standard whistle, 5mm. The whistle I was using, with the pull chain, is 6mm. I had been using the
adapter but it's nickel and that silver blob looked bad. also made it taller. So I drilled out the
top and tapped it to 6mm. Walla!  Maybe I should of tried to find out where they came from before I
did that, oh well.
