The Beeb knows everything

So let's test this theory. I got my boss a Christmas gift on the way, and I would like to get a little bit more info on what it is exactly. He is a big fan of Buffalo Airways so I got him a gauge from Buffalo Joe's personal stash. I would like to be able to tell him what it actually was for, not necessarily the plane, but at least the function. The type of plane would be cool if anyone knows. Here is a photo of it.


Can the Beeb pull through on this one?

 

Is there a part number on the back? Should be in the middle of the unit, not the frame.

 

Looks like an oil temperature gauge of some sort although there is no red zone. Maybe hydraulic fluid?

 

It's a Fab-o-meter. Displays how fabulous you are

 

Am I the only one that sees a Fap Meter?

 

Yes. Seek help.

 

Quit jerking off or you’ll go blind!

Too late! Get glasses and quit jerking off or you’ll go blinder!

 

I thought so to but it drops to -50C.

At first I thought it might have been a Flap Angle instrument but the celcius throws that out.

 

Outside Air Temp maybe?

 

Dang, divorce is rough…

 

From some communist aircraft.

 

-50C on cold start is possible.

 

Looks really similar to this one:

But from the temp range I'm guessing it would be for carb inlet temp or oil temp rather than outside air temp.

 

Unfortunately I don't have it yet. It is being shipped right now.

 

Damn. That was -50 C...

 

Water separator temperature indicator.

Mine is already way past the red limiter.

 

Vintage coolant temp gauge, maybe.

What do I win
