      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 (Unaudited)

1.  The  interim  financial  statements reflect  all  adjustments
    which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a  fair
    statement  of  the results of the interim periods  presented.
    All  adjustments  are of a normal recurring nature.   Amounts
    in  the  1993  consolidated financial  statements  have  been
    restated  to  reflect  the company's previous  49%  share  of
    Sealed  Power Technologies Limited Partnership ("SPT") income
    or  loss  and the effect of amortizing the difference between
    its  investment  balance  and  its  share  of  SPT's  initial
    partnership  capital  deficit and to reflect  new  accounting
    for the company's ESOP.

2.  Information regarding the company's segments was as follows:

Item  2.   Management's  Discussion and Analysis  of  Results  of
 Operations and Financial Condition

    The accompanying unaudited 1993 third quarter and nine months
ending  September  30,  1993 consolidated  statements  of  income
include  the  results  of the Sealed Power  Replacement  division
which  was  sold  October  22, 1993, the  results  of  the  Truth
division which was sold November 5, 1993, the company's 49% share
of  the  earnings or losses of Sealed Power Technologies  Limited
Partnership ("SPT") accounted for on the equity basis, the losses
of  Sealed  Power  Technologies Limited Partnership  Europe  ("SP
Europe"),  and the acquisition and results of Allen  Testproducts
and  Allen Group Leasing beginning with their acquisition on June
10, 1993.  The 1994 consolidated statements of income reflect SPT
and SP Europe in their entirety.

     For  purposes of comparison, certain selected unaudited  pro
forma  1993  information is presented in the following discussion
to   enhance   understanding.  The  unaudited  pro   forma   1993
information  reflects the acquisition of Allen  Testproducts  and
Allen   Group   Leasing  and  the  related   restructuring,   the
divestiture of the Sealed Power Replacement and Truth  divisions,
the   acquisition  of  the  remaining  51%  of   SPT,   and   the
consolidation of SP Europe as if they had occurred as of  January
1, 1993.

Third Quarter 1994 vs. Third Quarter 1993

    Revenues

    The following were revenues by business segment:
<TABLE>

                                     Three months ended September 30,
                                        Historical         Pro Forma

                                         (dollars in millions)
    <S>                            <C>         <C>         <C>

      Total....................... $ 253.0     $ 195.1     $ 230.7
</TABLE>

     Total  revenues  for  the  third quarter  of  1994  were  up
significantly over  historical third quarter 1993 revenues due to
the  inclusion of SPT and SP Europe revenues in 1994 (SPT and  SP
Europe  were  consolidated as of December 31,  1993).  Offsetting
these  increases  in  revenues was the loss of  revenues  of  the
Sealed Power Replacement and Truth divisions ("Businesses sold in
1993), which were sold in the fourth quarter of 1993.

     Third  quarter  1994  revenues of  Specialty  Service  Tools
increased  5.3% over third quarter 1993 revenues.  This  increase
was attributable to continued improvement in sales of aftermarket
specialty service tools and strength in sales of dealer equipment
and  warranty  tools,  hand-held diagnostic  testers,  and  high-
pressure hydraulic specialty service tools.  Sales of refrigerant
recovery  and  recycling systems and engine diagnostic  equipment
were  down  slightly  from  1993,  which  moderated  the  overall
increase in revenues.

     Third  quarter 1994 revenues of SPX Credit Corporation  were
approximately the same as the third quarter 1993.

<PAGE>  7
 
     Third quarter 1994 revenues of Original Equipment Components
increased  14.9%  over  pro  forma  third  quarter  1993.    This
significant  increase was the result of increased  light  vehicle
production.   The segment's aftermarket revenues also  increased.
Pro forma 1993 revenues reflect the revenues of SPT and SP Europe
which were consolidated as of December 31, 1993.

    Gross Profit

    In the third quarter of 1994, gross profit was $65.5 million,
or 25.9% of revenues.  In the third quarter of 1993, gross profit
was  $65.3 million, or 33.5% of revenues.  Due to the significant
acquisition  and divestiture activity of 1993, these figures  are
not  comparable.  Pro forma third quarter 1993 gross  profit  was
$56.8  million,  or  24.6%  of  revenues  with  the  revenue  mix
influencing the comparable quarter comparisons.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expense ("SG&A")

     SG&A  was $49.1 million, or 19.4% of revenues, in the  third
quarter  of 1994 compared to $57.2 million, or 29.3% of revenues,
in  the third quarter of 1993. Due to the significant acquisition
and divestiture activity in 1993, the figures are not comparable.
Pro  forma third quarter 1993 SG&A would have been $50.8 million,
or   22.0%  of  revenues  with  strong  revenue  levels  in  1994
contributing to the favorable quarterly percentage comparisons.

     The  following  was  operating  income  (loss)  by  business

      Total.......................  $ 16.3     $ (23.0)    $ (23.2)
</TABLE>

     Total operating income for the third quarter of 1994 was  up
significantly  over historical third quarter 1993 operating  loss
due  to  the  inclusion of SPT in 1994 (SPT and  SP  Europe  were
consolidated as of December 31, 1993). Offsetting these increases
in  operating  income  was the loss of operating  income  of  the
Sealed Power Replacement and Truth divisions, which were sold  in
the  fourth quarter of 1993.  The third quarter of 1993  included
the  $27.5  million  restructuring  charge  associated  with  the
combination   of   the  Bear  Automotive  division   with   Allen
Testproducts.

    Specialty Service Tool third quarter 1994 operating income of
$7.6  million increased $5.4 million over pro forma third quarter
1993  operating income, excluding the restructuring charge.   The
increase was attributable to strong specialty tool programs.  Pro
forma  third quarter 1993 operating income reflects the June  10,
1993   acquisition  of  Allen  Testproducts  and   related   cost
reductions  through  the  combination with  the  Bear  Automotive
division  as  if they had occurred at the beginning of  1993  and
includes  the $27.5 million restructuring charge associated  with
the  combination  of  the  Bear Automotive  division  with  Allen
Testproducts.

<PAGE>  8

     Operating  income of SPX Credit Corporation  for  the  third
quarter was comparable to the third quarter of 1993.

     Original  Equipment Components third quarter 1994  operating
income  of  $12.0 million increased $7.1 million over  pro  forma
third   quarter   1993  operating  income.   The   increase   was
attributable  to continued increases in customer demand  in  both
the  original equipment and aftermarket sectors.  Pro forma third
quarter  1993 operating income includes the operating results  of
SPT  and  SP  Europe which were consolidated as of  December  31,
1993.

    Interest Expense, net

     Third  quarter 1994 interest expense, net was $10.6  million
compared  to  $5.5  million in the third quarter  of  1993.   The
increase  was attributable to higher debt levels associated  with
the  purchase of SPT and Allen Testproducts which were  partially
offset  by  proceeds from the divestitures of  the  Sealed  Power
Replacement and Truth divisions.

    Provision for Income Taxes

     The  third  quarter  1994  effective  income  tax  rate  was
approximately 43.9% which reflects higher than anticipated losses
at  non U.S. subsidiaries that cannot be benefited for income tax
purposes.  As a result, the full year income tax rate is expected
to approximate 40 to 41% with the third quarter rate increased to
accommodate a portion of the necessary year to date increase.

    Revenues

    The following were revenues by business segment:

      Total....................... $ 819.5     $ 586.8     $ 749.7
</TABLE>

     Total  revenues for the first nine months of  1994  were  up
significantly over historical first nine months 1993 revenues due
to  the inclusion of SPT and SP Europe revenues in 1994 (SPT  and
SP  Europe  were  consolidated as of December  31,  1993).   Also
effecting  first nine months 1994 revenues was the  inclusion  of
the  revenues of Allen Testproducts and Allen Group Leasing  (now
called SPX Credit Corporation), whereas in 1993, the revenues  of
Allen  Testproducts  and Allen Group Leasing  were  not  included
until  the June 10, 1993 acquisition.  Offsetting these increases
in  revenues  was  the  loss  of revenues  of  the  Sealed  Power
Replacement and Truth divisions ("Businesses sold in 1993), which
were sold in the fourth quarter of 1993.

    First nine months of 1994 revenues of Specialty Service Tools
increased 5.9% over pro forma first nine months of 1993 revenues.
This  increase was attributable to continued improvement in sales
of  aftermarket specialty service tools and strength in sales  of
dealer   equipment  and  warranty  tools,  hand-held   diagnostic
testers,  and  high-pressure hydraulic specialty  service  tools.
Sales  of  engine  diagnostic equipment were down  slightly  from
1993,  which  moderated the overall increase  in  revenues.   Pro
forma first nine months of 1993 revenues reflect $25.7 million of
Allen  Testproducts  revenues  that  are  not  included  in   the
historical  revenues, as that business was acquired at  June  10,
1993.

     First nine months of 1994 revenues of SPX Credit Corporation
were  down $2.6 million from pro forma first nine months of 1993.
The second quarter of 1993 included approximately $1.0 million of
revenue  on  the sale of a $5.0 portfolio of leases  to  a  third
party.   The  first  nine  months  of  1994  revenue  level   was
reflective of levels of the last half of 1993, which include  the
combination   of  Allen  Group  Leasing  with  existing   leasing
activities.

<PAGE>  9

     First  nine  months  of 1994 revenues of Original  Equipment
Components  increased 14.2% over pro forma first nine  months  of
1993.   This  significant  increase was  attributable  to  strong
increases in sales to OEMs as production of new vehicles  was  up
from  1993.   The segment's aftermarket revenues also  increased.
Pro forma 1993 revenues reflect the revenues of SPT and SP Europe
which were consolidated as of December 31, 1993.

    Gross Profit

     In  the  first nine months of 1994, gross profit was  $209.9
million, or 25.6% of revenues.  In the first nine months of 1993,
gross  profit was $193.5 million, or 33.0% of revenues.   Due  to
the  significant  acquisition and divestiture activity  of  1993,
these figures are not comparable.  Pro forma first nine months of
1993  gross profit was $192.5 million, or 25.7% of revenues  with
revenue mix influencing the comparable nine month comparisons.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expense ("SG&A")

     SG&A  was $155.9 million, or 19.0% of revenues, in the first
nine  months  of  1994 compared to $163.8 million,  or  27.9%  of
revenues,  in  the  first  nine  months  of  1993.   Due  to  the
significant  acquisition and divestiture activity  in  1993,  the
figures are not comparable.  Pro forma first nine months of  1993
SG&A  would  have been $162.6 million, or 21.7% of revenues  with
strong revenue levels in 1994 contributing to the favorable  nine
month comparisons.

     Total operating income for the first nine months of 1994 was
up significantly over historical first nine months 1993 operating
loss  due to the inclusion of SPT in 1994 (SPT and SP Europe were
consolidated as of December 31, 1993). Also effecting  the  first
nine  months  of 1994 operating income was the inclusion  of  the
operating  results of Allen Testproducts and Allen Group  Leasing
(now  called SPX Credit Corporation), whereas in 1993,  operating
results  were  not included until the June 10, 1993  acquisition.
Offsetting  these increases in operating income was the  loss  of
operating  income  of  the  Sealed Power  Replacement  and  Truth
divisions,  which were sold in the fourth quarter of  1993.   The
first   nine   months   of  1993  includes  the   $27.5   million
restructuring charge associated with the combination of the  Bear
Automotive division with Allen Testproducts.

     Specialty Service Tools first nine months of 1994  operating
income  of  $23.4 million increased $7.0 million over  pro  forma
first  nine months of 1993 operating income, excluding the  $27.5
million  restructuring charge.  The increase was attributable  to
strong  specialty tool programs.  Pro forma first nine months  of
1993  operating income reflects the June 10, 1993 acquisition  of
Allen  Testproducts  and  related  cost  reductions  through  the
combination  with the Bear Automotive division  as  if  they  had
occurred at the beginning of 1993 and includes the $27.5  million
restructuring charge associated with the combination of the  Bear
Automotive division with Allen Testproducts.

    Operating income of SPX Credit Corporation for the first nine
months was down $1.6 million from pro forma first nine months  of
1993,  primarily  resulting from a $.7 million gain  recorded  in
1993 from the sale of a $5 million lease portfolio.

     Original  Equipment  Components first nine  months  of  1994
operating  income of $37.9 million increased $20.8  million  over
pro  forma  first  nine  months of 1993  operating  income.   The
increase  was  attributable to continued  increases  in  customer
demand.   Pro  forma first nine months of 1993  operating  income
reflect  the  operating results of SPT and SP Europe  which  were
actually consolidated as of December 31, 1993.

    Interest Expense, net

     First  nine months of 1994 interest expense, net  was  $30.3
million  compared to $13.7 million in the first  nine  months  of
1993.   The  increase  was attributable  to  higher  debt  levels
associated with the purchase of SPT and Allen Testproducts  which
were  partially offset by proceeds from the divestitures  of  the
Sealed Power Replacement and Truth divisions.

    Provision for Income Taxes

     The first nine months of 1994 effective income tax rate  was
approximately 40.3% which reflects higher than anticipated losses
at  non U.S. subsidiaries that cannot be benefited for income tax
purposes.  As a result, the full year income tax rate is expected
to approximate 40 to 41%.

    Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Methods, net of Tax

     In  the  first  quarter  of 1993, the  company  adopted  new
accounting for its Employee Stock Ownership Plan and adopted SFAS
No.  106  -  "Employers'  Accounting for Postretirement  Benefits
Other  Than  Pensions" for its then existing 49%  share  of  SPT,
resulting in a $31.8 million aftertax charge.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

     As  a  result of the company's acquisition activity in 1993,
the  company is more leveraged than in the past.  This  financial
leverage  requires  the company to focus on cash  flows  to  meet
higher  interest  costs  and to maintain  dividends.   Management
believes that cash flows generated from operations and the credit
arrangements established in the first six months of 1994 will  be
sufficient to supply the future funding needed by the company.

       Net Cash Flow............        $   (95.4)     $     8.1
</TABLE>

     Cash  flow  from  operating activities was a  $22.3  million
inflow  for  the first nine months of 1994 compared  to  a  $35.1
million  inflow  for  the  first nine months  of  1993.   Working
capital levels at the end of the third quarter tend to be  higher
than  the  previous year end levels as higher revenue levels  are
experienced during the third quarter when compared to the  fourth
quarter.  This was particularly the case with accounts receivable
levels  which  were  $13.9 million higher at September  30,  1994
compared to December 31, 1993.  Also effecting first nine  months
1994 cash flow from operating activities was an approximately  $8
million payment to finalize the dispute with the Internal Revenue
Service  regarding the company's tax deferred  treatment  of  the
1989  transaction in which several operating units  were  contrib
uted to SPT and to finalize certain other tax matters related  to
the  1989 tax year.  The first nine months of 1994 cash flow from
operating  activities  also included  the  reduction  of  accrued
liabilities,  much  of  which was continued  utilization  of  the
Automotive  Diagnostic restructuring reserve.  During  the  first
nine  months of 1994, approximately $10.5 million of this reserve
was   utilized   leaving  a  September  30,   1994   balance   of
approximately  $4 million, which is required for  remaining  work
force reductions and facility closing costs.

     Cash  flow  from  investing activities in 1994  consists  of
capital expenditures.  In addition to capital expenditures,  1993
cash  flow  from investing activities included $13.6  million  of
advances  to SP Europe which was not consolidated until  December
31, 1993 and $102 million for the June 10, 1993 purchase of Allen
Testproducts and Allen Group Leasing from the Allen Group.

    First nine months of 1993 cash flow from financing activities
consisted primarily of debt borrowings to finance the purchase of
Allen  Testproducts  and  Allen Group Leasing.   The  first  nine
months  of 1994 cash flow from financing activities reflects  the
$39   million  payment  to  Riken  Corporation  to  acquire   the
additional 49% of SPT and payment of approximately $34 million of
debt  restructuring  costs related to the  new  revolving  credit
agreement and the $260 million of senior subordinated notes.

     As of June 30, 1994, the company had substantially completed
the  expenditures  to  acquire the  additional  51%  of  SPT  and
refinance its debt structure.

      As  of  June  30,  1994,  the  company  had  completed  its
Refinancing  Plan.   In  May,  $260 million  of  11  3/4%  senior
subordinated  notes, due June 1, 2002 and redeemable  after  four
years,  were  issued.   In  the first  quarter,  a  $250  million
revolving  credit  facility was obtained.  This revolving  credit
facility's  maximum  credit  availability  was  reduced  to  $225
million concurrent with the issuance of the notes.  Proceeds from
these new credit facilities and existing cash balances were  used
to extinguish most debt instruments existing at December 31, 1993
and to pay certain debt restructuring costs.

     At  September  30, 1994, the following summarizes  the  debt
outstanding (in millions):
<TABLE>

    <S>                                 <C>
    Senior subordinated notes           $    260.0
    Revolving credit facility                134.0
    Industrial revenues bonds                 15.2
    Other                                      8.6
      Total debt                        $    417.8
</TABLE>

     At  September  30,  1994, the maximum  availability  on  the
revolving   credit   facility  would  have  been   $91   million.
Management   believes   that  the  additional   availability   is
sufficient to meet operational cash requirements, working capital
requirements and capital expenditures for 1994 and thereafter.

    The revolving credit agreement contains covenants which cover
leverage,  interest  expense  coverage,  fixed  charge  coverage,
dividends,  capital  expenditures, investments  and  transactions
with  affiliates.   At September 30, 1994,  the  company  was  in
compliance  with  all  covenants.  The following  summarizes  the
September  30, 1994 status versus the more restrictive covenants:
(a)  maintain a leverage ratio, as defined, of 78% or  less,  the
company's  leverage  ratio  was 73%,  (b)  maintain  an  interest
expense coverage ratio, as defined, of 2.0 to 1.0 or greater, the
company's  interest expense coverage ratio was 2.69 to  1.0,  and
(c)  maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, of  1.75
to  1.0 or greater, the company's fixed charge coverage ratio was
1.92 to 1.0.

    Capital Expenditures

     Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 1994  were
$28.5 million compared to $10.6 million in 1993.  Full year  1994
estimated  capital  expenditures  will  likely  approximate   $45
million.  1993 capital expenditures did not include SPT.
