Nope, not a car, this is off topic.
Next door neighbors are having a garage sale. I'm a sucker. I bought this for $5 essentially (bought other stuff too but negotiated this last on a whim). Looks to me like a control board for some type of cooling system.
2 of these:
And 2 of these:
I also got a big metal hardware organizer that is filled with old industrial fuses, a pressure switch, and some fire sprinkler heads (not all for $5). I just wanted the hardware organizer but figured the contents might be related to this guy.
In reply to Robbie :
Idk, but you need a Pennzoil sticker right under that button at the top.
I would have bought it just for the stop/go button- that is really cool! What do the labels above the indicator lights say?
My initial guess based on the controller would be it's from an air handler in a commercial building. Ours at work employ a safety circuit that won't allow it to run if the safeties aren't made. They also have vacuum gauges on them to indicate air flow.
But "purge suction" and "oil pump" don't fit into that picture.
Someone here knows what it is, I'm sure of that.

Likewise (on the stop/go button) I’ll give you $10 for it!

I'll see your $10, and offer $11.19 for the button!
$10 and I'll come get it. No shipping, I'm local (ish.)
Seriously.
That's a Paragon timer on the left side there, we use similar ones for our HVAC systems. The vac / pressure gauges really throw me though. Harrumph.
Whatever it is, you need to find yourself an engine that can max that pressure gauge. For science, of course.
My instincts are with p_a, but I can't help thinking we'd know a lot more if we could see dials 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 through 17.

I bet its from an old water chiller used for air conditioning or for process chilling of a press or similar.
The gauges make me think HVAC related.... notice the low pressure range gauge has a temperature chart on the outside? And the charts are labeled for temperature vs. pressure for R-11 and R-113. So it is definitely an HVAC servicing device.
Edit. I did a little digging and apparently R-113 and R-11 are technically refrigerants but they are/were largely used in manufacturing, for things like foam blowing or PCB board cleaning. So who knows.
Have I stumped the schneid?
Appleseed (or anyone else) - if you would like it I'd be happy to pass it along.

Yes, and if I am running 100 psi of boost, you bet I want a 7 inch gauge to tell me where I'm at!

looks like vocabulary that would be used when purging and drying a large AC system. As in someone is pulling a large vacuum on the system and using heat to help clear out any moisture.
