By 'willed to me', I mean an elderly  neighbor is moving to California to live with his son.
  He told me ' You WILL take this stuff' because he knows I can find somebody that can use it
He no longer has a use for it and does not want to ship it south, or toss it in the landfill.
 Being 'Sears' brand, instead of 'Craftsman', you know they are rather old. 

Sears Inductive timing light in excellent condition ( may have actually been used once or twice)
Sears  Dwell and Tachometer - same as above
Sears  Analog VOM in case, with original leads, instruction manual and new battery.
 This equipment would be applicable, and necessary, tune up equipment for older vehicles with 'points' style ignition systems.
  I do not need two sets of nearly identical equipment. 
  If any of this looks interesting, let me know.

Well I have the timing light and dwell meter.  Not too much use any more but too nice to dump.  Technology advances. 
 Sure should be useful to someone.

 Need to find Old Car Club. Some might use it if not upgraded to new distributor.

I drive an all-electric Chevy Blazer.  I don’t need these tools any more.

I remember how these tools work, from auto shop in high school (1966) and fixing my cars.

I gave my last gas car, a Subaru Forester, to my sister.  She drove it away to North Carolina.

 

Good luck finding good homes for these tools.

Yup,  That's the main target group...some young person just getting into the old car hobby.

Try getting in touch with Golden Wheels of Seattle. They’re old guys that used to race midgets and roadsters back in the 40s and 50s. They might know someone who wants it and could use it. 
Follow the Facebook link from www.goldenwheelsfraternity.com to reach them. 
Anyway, it’s an idea.

Yes, that is the main target audience.
   There are some around, and I can always donate to one of those groups.  
   I am xsure they can find someone who needs a 'newer' one.
