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.

power factor Measurements (approx): 10 x 8 x 6" Shipping weight (estimated): 11#
Excellent condition!
The latest version of the famous Simpson 260 which are still available
new at a cost of over $300.00. Although this one has been used, it's
in excellent cosmetic and functional condition. Ready to use
(including new batteries). I have serviced and calibrated it according
Simpson's procedures. All functions and ranges work perfectly. Includes the test probes, batteries and a beautiful
comb-bound reproduction copy of the instruction manual. satisfaction is guaranteed
NOTE: the previous owner had this mounted under his workbench
shelf via two holes he drilled in the top of the case. I have neatly
filled these holes with black epoxy. Although not a completely
invisible repair, they would probably not be noticed unless given a
close-up inspection.
Serviced, tested and calibrated,
satisfaction is guaranteed.

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#.
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.

Vintage ACME adjustable transformer
model T8394M
Yes there really was an ACME company and not
a fictitious place where the Road Runner's adversary 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:
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#
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#

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).

Tube Tester
Calibration tube
6L6 calibration tube, for use when calibrating
your Hickok
Mutual Conductance tube tester
Beautiful in appearance & design as well as performance,
circa 1951, this by far is the best early CRT tester I have
found. I found my first one several years ago and restored it
for my own use. Later I found this one, started restoration only
to find it had a bad power transformer after much of the other
work was done. This transformer (a special one is used to supply
up to 800 volts to the anode of the CRT under test) prevented me
from completing the restoration until now. After searching in
vain for a suitable transformer or a parts unit, I decided this
piece will be worth the price to have the transformer rewound.
I'm sure there's some other technician out there who will
appreciate paying the price to own this beautiful and quality
piece of equipment. This is not a common emission checker, it
applies voltage to the grids and anode and measures
transconductance
It's hard to find a CRT tester that will not only check the
common magnetically deflected CRT's but the electrostatic
deflected one's as well (yes even the 7JP4). You can test it
without the awkward task of manually connecting an adapter with
a bunch of individual leads to all the socket pins. It has it's
own socket dedicated to the special base of the 7JP4, 8BP4 plus
the standard socket that was used from the 40's thru the late
50's. I fabricated several adaptors that will fit other tubes of
that era (like the 3KP4, 5BP4 & the Philco TP-400 etc) for my
own unit and will be glad to share details with the purchaser of
this piece. The finish on the case is in very good shape, the
panel is not only beautiful in design but in excellent condition
as well. The roll chart works smooth and covers from 2AP1 to
30BP4. Includes a nice reproduction of the owner/operators
manual with schematic and universal adaptor socket.
