The image is not that of the actual item, just a borrowed image found on the internet site:
Heathkit Test Equipment Matrix

I chose not to unpack the box as it appeared to be just as it left the factory. I'll be glad to unpack, and inventory the contents once it's sold only if the buyer ask me to do so.

Measurements (in original box) (approx): 14 x 9 x 6"
Shipping weight (estimated): 16 lb.


 

 make offer - I will eventfully post it on eBay if I don't get a decent offer.

Military TV-7/U
  tube tester

Excellent condition! I just completed servicing and calibration of this very fine and popular tube tester.

Includes my re-mastered, reprinted instruction manual and the original set up data lid chart.

Clean, tested and calibrated (ready to use) and satisfaction is guaranteed. The only negative item (for the very picky), would be the handle, the original was missing but I fitted it with a very functional (and not too shabby looking) handle.

The TV-7 series will test all the consumer and military (except the larger transmitting types) tubes from the 1920's to around the mid 1960's. It will not test the newer TV types that were introduced in the late 1960's & '70's like compactrons etc. However, with the proper adaptor (which I do not have a source for), those tube can be also tested.

Measurements (approx): 15 x 8 x 7"
Shipping weight (estimated): 28 lb.

EICO Capacitor Checker/Analyzer

model 950A

Circa mid 1950's, every work bench needs a capacitor checker/analyzer that will put those old capacitors to the test. The EICO 950 series will check capacity, power factor and most important it will test for leakage. The leakage test can only be done properly by loading the capacitor under test with the full rated voltage, the applied voltage on the EICO 950 is variable up to 500 volts. It measures capacity from 10pf to 5000uf in four ranges. It has a nice, bright tuning eye tube, has been electronically restored, calibrated, and all functions tested.

Vintage General Radio Variac, adjustable transformer
model
200-CM

The real thing, a very old example of this famous product. I'm not sure how old it is but will guess is from the 1930's.

What's really great is the condition, it's excellent! The AC cord, Bakelite block, switch, socket even the decal are all in  near perfect condition! No dings on the external exposed copper coils (it must have been setting in a box for the last 50 - 70 years) ---- and YES it works just fine.

There is no wattage or amperage rating on this  but judging from the size, I would rate it at 5-7 amps (standard work bench size). The coil measures 4.25" diameter x 3" tall. Shipping weight = 13#.

SOLD
