Vintage Test Equipment

A note about my test equipment offerings.

I am well aware that the equipment I offer on this page can usually be purchased on eBay and other venues for much less than the prices I am asking. However, you  get what you pay for. All the equipment on this page (unless offered as-is) has been carefully and meticulously serviced, calibrated and ready to put to use. Unlike most of what's offered on eBay in as-is or "seems to work" condition. Such equipment will likely need to be serviced by someone who knows how to make it reliable  and accurate. What good is a piece of test equipment of questionable quality or reliability?

In many (if not most) cases, the time and effort involved in the work I've done on following pieces far exceeds the price I am asking. There's nothing more valuable on an electronic technician's work bench than good, reliable and accurate piece of test equipment. I do this because this is what I love to do.

 B&K CRT Tester and Rejuvenator
model 440

An early model but a fine instrument. One of the features I like is the 3 neon lamps that were eliminated on subsequent models. What's nice about the lamp test (a preliminary  test) is you know right away whether the CRT has open or shorted elements. A nice bright glow on half  the right two neon lamps on  this preliminary test tells you the status of the CRT elements is good. The cut off and emission test, I feel are superior to the newer B&K models. Problem is, its and early model and does not test many of the later CRT's of the late 60's & 70s. The rejuvenator is  strong and does an excellent jog of rejuvenating the early CRTs of the late '40s - early 60s.

This instrument is in excellent working condition and ready to be put to use. Includes the original instruction manual, adaptors A, B & C (for newer CRTs) and set-up chart dated 1962. The case is sound, suffers only a few scuffs and scrapes on the canvas covering.

 National Union "Videotron" CRT tester
 
This neat little tester in beautiful condition, works quite well with the early electrostatic and magnetically deflected CRT's. It will test CRT's such as 7JP4's & 10BP4's and others with those types bases from the late 1940s - mid-'50s. It checks for shorts emission and beam current. I have serviced and tested this piece using known good, bad and weak CRT's and for such simplicity, it really works well.

Comes complete with the (well worn) original manual and my re-mastered reprint of same.


Measurements (approx): 8.5 x 6 x 3"
Shipping weight (estimated): 7 lb.

Simpson 260 High Voltage Probe
 
(25,000 volts, 20,000 ohms per volt)
 

A must for any serious vintage television tech. This probe was originally made to use with the 260 model that had the female jacks. I have modified it to fit the more modern '260's that's equipped with the inverted (male) jacks (see photo). It would be easy to convert back to original if need be by removing the female extensions I added.
