Yes, I started to buy it, but I really wouldn'y have a use for another unless mine ever messed up. The one I got was taken out about 25 years ago, and put in a garage, so the orange redline part of it was very bright. The one on Ebay looked like it had a good bit of fading.
Another idea I have toying with is to adapt the vacuum gauge into a BOOST gauge for my turbo diesel. I would have to use another head behind a vacuum gauge face. I have a friend at sign shop that says he can make me small decal printed backwards to stick onto the lens to match the others. He said it would be as simple as printing several shades of green onto a piece of white vinyl and then cutting the letters out. He says anytime you print white vinyl a color, it has a tint of that color on the backside, which is what you would see with it stuck to inside of the lens. That is the reason it would have to be printed backwards. Here is a quicky Photoshop of what it would look like. I think it would look killer with any turbo or super charged 67 -72.
