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.

General Radio Variac,
Vintage 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#.
A must for all work electronics work benches
if you are repairing AC/DC radio. Don't wait until you suffer a
severe shock or burn up as valuable piece of test equipment.
Here's your chance to get one of these at a decent price. See my
"Tech Tip" #2 for more info on
the subject of work bench safety using an isolation transformer.
Measurements (approx): 5.5 x 5.5 x 4.5" Shipping weight (estimated): 19#
This model has 3 outputs, with an input of 117 volts, you get
outputs of; 105, 115 & 125 volts. Works fine, the power cord
appears to be original and is in very good condition.
A new one this size (without the multiple output feature) will
cost over $100.00.
Yes there really was an ACME company and not
a fictitious place where the Road Runner's advisory ordered
his supplies. I'm not sure of the exact date but suspect this
model was made in the 1930's. Features a volt meter and adjustable
switch that controls the output voltage. Here's the switch
settings and corresponding output voltage:
Very clean, undamaged, complete with copies of several TV-2
manuals. The chassis appears to be all original and unmolested.
Transformers check out ok, there are no burned parts. All meters
register properly except the signal meter, which only moves in the
negative direction. Tubes test way high and I suspect the problem
to be in the signal circuit.
Buy it for parts or you fix it. I've got too many projects, too
little ambition lately. Time to offer some of them up for others
to take on.
Needs work,
sold as found, use for parts or you fix it.
Heathkit's finest this checker not only provides accurate
Mutual Conductance
tests but does tests that most other checkers do not offer; such
as grid emission; VR test and the ability to test individual
sections of dual triode tubes without making new selector switch
settings.
This model will test all consumer tubes from the 1920's - through
the end of vacuum tube production without additional adaptors.
Year: early '60's. Case: canvas covered wood Finish/cosmetic condition: very good Panel: very good Chassis/insides: very clean Documentation: all original manuals + copies of updated
test data
Roll chart info: excellent, rolls smooth from one end to the
other Comments: test guitar, audio, radio & TV tubes 20's to end
of tube production Electronic condition: excellent, cleaned, service & fully
tested Flaws, cracks, blems : case has a few scuffs Type of test: mutual conduction Measurements (approx):
18 x 15 x 8" Shipping weight (estimated): 35#
Heathkit capacitor checker & RC bridge model
IT-28
Circa 1968, the
newer version of the IT-11(above).
The IT-28 has the
same test specs and circuitry as the IT-11 The differences
(other than cosmetic) is the 3 prong AC plug and it can be
modified to operate on 220-250 volts/50 Hz.
An excellent emission type tester. It has a couple of scuffs
on the canvas case covering, and some minor scratches on the panel
otherwise, in excellent cosmetic condition. Exceptionally clean inside and out, neatly and
professionally assembled and functions well. Includes my re-print
of the instruction manual that includes obsolete and supplemental
tube stet set up data.
This model will test all consumer tubes from the 1920's - early
'60's. It will not test the more modern (special socket) tubes
introduced in the mid- late 1960's, most of which were used in
TV's of that era.
Year: late 50's - early '60's. Case: canvas covered wood Finish/cosmetic condition: very good Panel: very good Chassis/insides: like it was made yesterday Documentation: my re-mastered re-print of the manual
Roll chart info: excellent, rolls smooth from one end to the
other Comments: test guitar, audio, radio & TV tubes 20's - 60's Electronic condition: excellent, cleaned, service & fully
tested Flaws, cracks, blems : as noted above Type of test: emission Measurements (approx):
15 x 11 x 6" Shipping weight (estimated): 15#
Here's a simple to use and very
reliable tester for Octal, Loctal and 7 & 9 pin miniature tubes.
Great for the Hi-Fi, stereo and Guitar Amp tubes from the 40's -
mid 1960's. This unit will not test newer (late 1960's on) which
are the; Novar, Duodecar (compactron) based tubes (which were
mostly used in TV's).

Here's one from my project shelf
that's offer as found. I have more projects than I can do in this
lifetime so some of my more serious project must go. I made a few
checks, the VOM section works fine (so the meter is good), the
tube testing functions do not work at all. There's no meter
deflection even on the line test. It appears to be unmolested,
underside is clean and looks all original.
SOLD AS-IS, you fix it, have it
fixed or use it for parts.
Year: mid 1950's Case: canvas covered wood Finish/cosmetic condition: rough Panel: very good Chassis/insides: very clean Documentation: copy of the instruction manual Roll chart info: needs attention Special features, comments: Electronic condition: only the VOM section works Flaws, cracks, blems : case and covering is rough Type of test: mutual conductance + good/bad scale Measurements (approx):
