I've got a couple of those cable driven tachs. Are they worth anything?

I have a Jones, NOS I believe, as it looks like it has never had a cable attached to it. 9000 RPMs. It has a chrome cup and a 90 degree mounting bracket. The other one is a SW, 10,000 RPM. That one has a cable and a mounting bracket. Just hanging on the wall in the back room.

I Just LOVE "DAY2" parts--thrush parts are my favorite...I have Hush Thrush also...I have been collecting these type of mufflers for a while now
P:S- the guy I got the "Dot" rods used to Work in tonawanda...he had boxes FULL of goodies...

I remember those Thrush mufflers! I worked at an Auto Parts store when I was sixteen and I can remember so vividly taping those Thrush boxes back up EVERYDAY because customers loved to open them up just to look at the mufflers. One day I encounter an old man that actually has the muffler up to his mouth blowing into it and saying "So these are the mufflers that wake me up in the middle of the night that those damn kids are putting on their cars!" To which my co-worker buddy replies: "Yes sir, we like those mufflers."

It's been SO long since these muffler's were in Stores for sale , I always liked how they Looked ...If They were to make these Round mufflers with the same color's and Logo , They would sell like HOTCAKES !! They did revive "hushthrush", But its just a "dynomax-superturbo" in disguise - They need to do a remake on these old ones -Im SICK of flowmasters!!! they are SO played out .. Every one has em and all cars sound the same....

I have old Thrush turbos, the longer ones that I call "Hemi" turbos, on my '55 and they still sound great. Flowmasters just don't do it for me.
