Title: Gauges
Post by: coke_and_stuff on September 12, 2009, 10:19:54 pm
Im looking to buy a set of gauges, But honestly have no idea on what would be suitable for my needs. I will be using them every now and then. Mainly on 1950s Vendo, Cavalier, and Ideal machines. I have found two on ebay that look ok what is everyones opinion on this matter?

Yellow Jacket makes a good set. They run around $80 -$100 or so.

Do I need commercial gauges, automotive, or home AC gauges? Thats my main question. Two hits for Yellow Jacket is making me want a set of those.
