Oil -chex --Dual temp

[whizzernick]

I just read that a member in france was looking for an oil chex.
I know someone reproduces them ---I just dont remember who.
This guage is for 1932-33-34 . I am also looking for a 33-34 dual temp
for a friend. Any help out there

I believe at one time there was a reproduction but no longer.

rudolof (like the raindeer) faltermier did them originaly . I know that a person bought the invintory from his estate and improved them. I bought a sending unit from him so I know he exists.

Mr. Faltermier was who I was in reference to. I am not aware of any other source at this time.

The guy in AZ at least sells the special fitting that goes in the upper radiator hose. I bought one for my 33 std phaeton. Don't know if he remakes or sells the whole gauge.

The Dual Temp gauges come up from time to time in the classifieds here and on Ebay. I brought one from a member on this forum . I'm told you can fabricate/repair one using a 1935 temperature gauge which is available new -do a search here

The Chex Oil Gauges come up very rarely on Ebay having said that I have brought 2 on Ebay in the last 5 years and facilitated Ian buying another one for his 1932 Coupe .

The first one I brought was $600 US and is an original It works but I suspect needs adjustment as I'm not sure the Ammeter reads correctly . About 6 months ago a Rudi reproduction came up I put a bid of $200 on it with no expectation of winning and I did - I guess it just slipped under every ones Radar . A mint ?NOS 1932 one also came up recently and I drew Ian's attention to it and he purchased this as well. So they are out there if you keep looking

My Chex Oil Schwartze gauge I bought on Ebay from Belgium is an original 1932 one.
A quick way to tell the difference is Schwartze is clearly printed on the front lip of the gauge. The original oil Chex gauge on the back is like a little tin box with slots for illumination. On the repop are see through and the lugs are in a different location.
This information is from Deuce Lover.
A original pressure switch is really hard to find, but on my 1932 Chex gauge which I was able to find thanks to Karl, I have fitted a adjustable Hobbs perssure switch from U.S.A which works fine.

RS gauges in AZ reproduces the 33-34 Oil Chex gauge.
