     Up for auction / your consideration is a Vintage API Instruments Company MM/HG Vacuum panel meter with Tank Pressure and Line Pressure gauges.  Please read this entire description and review and examine all the pictures before placing any bids on this set up.      I am not sure where I acquired this gauge set up from.  It looks like it was used to monitor a in shop / garage compressed air set up, from a possible remote location.      The first gauge is labeled "VACUUM" (M00371).  It has been mounted and does have all the proper hardware on the back side of the flat panel  The back of the meter is in nice condition with some small scratches, scraps, and marks.  The connections, which are made for wires/connections to be hooked up to, are connections that have to use terminals screws and they are have been used but are still fully threaded, and  the solder on wire connections do have two white and two black wires soldered on to the connection posts.  The wires are used and labeled and could be spliced with new wires to make this functional again.      The front face is flat white in color. There are some very small marks and they are noticeable, on the edge of the meter face on its case, this looks like it is/was from being handled during the shelf storage of this meter.. The lens does show some marks and scrapes from handling and possible use..      The back side of the meter has "2480",  and "I3".      On the left and right connection terminal/point  there are marks on them.      On the side of the rear meter housing there is a sticker that is unreadable.      On the front of the meter in the middle and below it is labeled MM/HG.      To the lower left of the meter face is "0 10566"      To the lower right of the meter face is "FS=1MA.DC api INSTRUMENTS CO."      On the meter face it reads 20 on the left to 0 on the right in the upper scale, below the scale it reads MM/HG.      The meter face measures 4 and 3/16 inches at the middle, the widest part of the meter face, the top to bottom measures 2 and 5/16 inches, the back side of the meter case measures 2 and 3/4 inches.      There are four studs on the case that are used to mount this meter, they show some scratched and seemed to have been used.      The front see-through panel has one sticker/seal on the bottom edge that is there and intact and has not been tampered with.      I was unable to test this gauge to see it it worked or did not work.      Specifications:      MM/HG;  20-0      Specifications from the label on the meter: (These are all on the sticker on the side of the panel meter).      None      API Instruments Co. Part No.: None           Max amperes: Unknown.      Connection points: 2 that are the connection screw on type. 9 Solder on type connections.        Meter Face Size: 2 and 11/16 inches.      Meter Face Size: across the widest part of the  meter 2 and 11/16 inches.      Meter Face Size from top to bottom is 2/7/16.      Meter Size across the back side of the case: 2 and 1/8 inches.      The second gauge is labeled "TANK PRESSURE" (M00372) and is a "Marshalltown Manufacturuing Inc."  (this is what I could read with all the small writing) Brand gauge and the outside scale reads from 30 VAC. to 150 PSI.  The inner scale reads R-12, -100 to 116 Degree F TEMP.      There are no marks on the back side of this gauge.      As you can see in the photos there is a compression type of fitting that has been screwed onto the back side connection point of this gauge.  It has been used, but is there for reference in case the new owner wants to reuse this set up of replace it entirely.      The mounting hardware is present and does tighten down properly to hold this gauge in it's proper mounting hole.      The face of the gauge is white in color with a black outside scale and a red inside scale.  Both are very readable and do show use from dust being inside of the gauge face.      It is a 2 and 1/2 inch size gauge.      This gauge was tested with compressed air and did deflect and hold the pressure that was applied to it.  I did not test it for a long period of time as this was just simply sealed with a little pressure from me and I held it in place to test it.      I was unable to test this gauge in any way.        The third gauge "LINE PRESSURE" (M00373) is a MARSH kPA / psi gauge. Model #B14 made by the MARSH INSTRUMENT COMPANY SKOKIE IL MADE IN THE U.S.A.      It is a white face with a black inner and outer scale on it's face.  The outer scale reads 0 to 200 and the inner scale reads from 0 to 1400.      The front face does show use as there is some dust and small amount of material that has been deposited on the face of the gauge.      As you can see in the pictures, the front cardboard seal between the face and the edge of the metal case is loose and showing at the edges of the face of the gauge.      The back side of the gauge does not have any marks for a label or any kind of stickers on it.      The connection set up is a threaded screw on type and it has been used.  None of the threads seem to be damaged. So this could possible be reused or just removed for another type of set up.      The mounting hardware is present and does tighten down and hold the gauge in it's proper place.      The size of the gauge is 3 and 1/2 inches.      This gauge was also tested and it did deflect and hold it's pressure for a short period of time.  Again, please note that I tested it by applying a bit of  compressed air and I held it in place by applying pressure from me. This is not a way to fully test this gauge, so I will have to list it as partially working, or for parts only.      There is no installation instructions or other information included in this auction.      Please examine the photos.          All three gauges are mounted on a single flat metal plate.      It's size is just over 6 and 1/2 inches wide,  by 14 and 5/8 inches tall, by 1/8 of an inch thick      This plate was coated / painted black on both sides.      I am not sure, but the material seems to be made of aluminum.      There are three drilled holes on the right side, the holes are 3/16 of an inch in size and are spaced about 6 inches apart.      There is one singular hole, 1/2 inch wide that has been drilled next to the TANK PRESSURE label on the middle right side of the panel.           There are some scrape marks and nicks on the front side of this flat metal panel and it does show some use on it from the marks and mounting points that have been used to mount this panel before.             I am available to answer questions in the mornings, Monday through Fridays.  I also ship items once they have been fully paid for in the early afternoons.      I will package this in a double box and as if I was the one receiving the item. Signature Confirmation and insurance is included in the price of the shipping chargers.
