Thanks & question for tester owners

Post by angelodp »

Great thanks Sony. I found that one too. They have a booklet for the 612 and 614 but there are discrepancies. I had a look under the hood of this 620 and there appears to be D cell batteries?? My oh my, and this tester does light up and the needle can be centered. Do these batteries need to be changed out.

I have the 920 model. Got it for about $40 on ebay. It was made around 1947 :shock: and still works. I had to change the 9pin tube socket since it's heater pins were intermittent. It had already been changed previously. There's a giant rectifier tube inside and an ancient lantern battery that still has some juice in it. 8) Had to buy the manual separately and a supplement since it was missing some common tubes on the roller.
