Darren Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Its an Allen Group Model 10-080 On-Board Computer Diagnostic Supplement - 42-000 series Digital Engine Analyzer. Wow, thats a mouthful. My Dad got it from the college a few years ago, and he had no use for it, so he gave it to me. Well I don't want it, its too big, even though it is pretty cool. So what do you think its worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdocdave Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 practically nothing, no one uses them anymore. they actually used to be about twice that size, and now we do more with a scan tool that fits in the palm of your hand. mechanics don't even know how to use that anymore. it will look really cool in your garage though :clapping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a couple hundered to someone who knows how to use it... Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sam Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 My iPhone has an app that does all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aemsee Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Only thing worthwhile on that would be the oscilliscope feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 If you just want it out of the garage you could bring it to the shop i work at and i could play with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyComanche Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Only thing worthwhile on that would be the oscilliscope feature. For what? The last time I use an oscilloscope... Well, let's just say I'm glad the AC systems on the helicopters (that do actually have them) are basically bomb-proof. I can't think of a time that I've needed one for automotive use. Nor for household use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, hadn't thought of half of that... Would probably be a good thing to have when snooping for a miss. The footprint of the machine is a little large still.

HOrnbrod Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 An o'scope is also useful for checking the squarewave output of speed sensors and can be used for calibrating the 91+ electronic speedometers. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfreeman616 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 o-scopes are also good for things like oxygen sensors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
