Weidenhoff distributor machine.

'OHV Deluxe', I found this thread while trying to find info on my Weidenhoff #895 external shunt.

Attached is page 20-21 from Weidenhoff Catalog #41 (April 1931) featuring your machine: the #940 Distributer Synchronizing Fixture

That is a very interesting tool you have .... does it still work?

Dep5, that is very cool, the original owner who i got it from thought maybe it was early 1930s by memory.
The fun part of this is actually that it is very intuitive it seems and the old guy actually prefered this over the Sun and Bosch versions he had bought new.
It seems to work perfectly and i will certainly use it.
Dep5, would you be able to take better photos of those pages individually? it is hard to read them now, at least for me.. haha..
