A "New" Ohmer Has Been Restored

Taxidepot Boss went back in time in full gear programming action. No digital meters or oscilloscopes were involved in such complex machinery micro-operation other that his primary instincts and imported skills acquired in Sweden back in 1970's. It  was the rumor in the office, since last May when Al Gallego was commissioned to restore an Ohmer Taximeter Circa 1924.

Please let us "Re-Introduce" the great Ohmer Taximeter Circa 1924. Thanks Boss.
