New Test Equipment day part 2!

Post by beasleybodyshop »

Picked up a bunch of test equipment today at my local thrift shop. I guess some old Ham died, or gave up, lol. I have been hunting for an Eico 950B and what luck! i found one randomly! also found an eico RF signal generator, Sencore in circuit transistor/diode tester, and 2 (!) military audio oscillators. All for the paltry sum of 40 bucks! Look at the Power transformer in that thing!

I have approximately absolutely ZERO thrift stores of this kind in my 'hood. Very cool.
I build and repair tube amps. http://amps.monkeymatic.com

That oscillator is pretty awesome. Definitely going to convert it into some kind of amp. Would make a good bass amp candidate.

I had that same Heathkit VTVM meter.

I was about 14 when I built it from the kit.

Wow! That's starting to look like my basement when I was a kid and my Dad was into this stuff. Nice....
In theory, theory is the same as practice. In practice it's different.

Good score. Hamfest's are a good place to pickup old tube test equipment very cheap.

Very nice score...

I have one of those 324s that I haven't figured out what to do with yet.

I also have one of those 950Bs and I love it!
