I have a vintage parking meter that I took in trade for a hand made, metal Jaguar XK120 toy. I was thinking of restoring it and displaying it as garage art, but that's at the end of a long list of projects right now. So I decided to see if anybody here might be interested. Rather than selling it, I think I'd rather trade it for something else that is equally cool. I can probably fit it in a USPS Flat Rate box for shipping. What have you got?
(Bonus points for anything that says "Porsche" on it...)

Does the meter work? Key?
Let me throw a Weber side draft carb on the table...

As I mentioned, I don't have keys, but both locks are open and they could probably be swapped. The timing mechanism needs to be wound.
I'd be interested in the Weber, mainly because I've never taken one apart before and I'd like to learn more about how they work.
I opened it up and removed the mechanism. I'm not exactly sure how to set it up, but I wound it using a 6mm 12 point as a key. It ticks and the timing mechanism seems to work.
