This info is usually on the hull card/dealer record. Type and number. Ex: Yale Jr. #34. The reproductions are pretty good, more reliable and safer.

Yes, cc went to yale after they did separate instruments rther than the instrument panels that typically included a clum switch, etc. California classic boats makes nice reproductions. for the real thing, the best place to look is various car swap meets like hershey, pa. etc. good luck in that dept.
