had no luck...

Well, the markings say "TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE" at the top and "TRU-FLATE"
at the bottom. It reads to 60 psi. No other markings to indicate its
manufacture.

It came courtesy of John Barnes together with the pressure sensor. The
inlet has been specially modified with a nozzle that will nicely fit the
Lego pneumatic tubing.

I think it is better than the Monkey Grip digital tire pressure gauge
that Michael Gasperi is using as it can provide continuous readings. But
I wouldn't rely too much on it as its accuracy is far short of the
silicon pressure sensor.

TRU-FLATE tire pressure guages are made by Stant. If you search the Web for "Tru-Flate" you will find several stores that sell them. I have been using a digital tire guage (like the one originally suggested on Soh Chio's site) up until now to (...)

(...) Those pressure switches look quite neat! It's one step closer to the establishment of a link between the pneumatic system and the RCX...
