 Offered is a SIMPSON brand I-177 B military tube tester. Grey cabinet (for USAF use). Probably early 1950's vintage. Decent but far from perfect cosmetic condition. Case shows the usual scratches, nicks and minor rust spots. Nothing major however. Tester looks good. Line cord is still reasonably supple but shows a repair close to the tester chassis. Plate/Filament cap lead is supple. Face plate looks good. All control elements turn freely. Meter works without well and without drags or hang ups. Both the FUSE and the SHORTS lams are missing. Someone has wrapped some wire around inside the Fuse lamp post to keep the tester working. Shorts lamp is still in the socket but the glass is broken. That being said the tester works and seems to work well at that. These are good quality mutual conductance type units that are great for working on old radios. They have 4,5,6, and 7 jumbo pin sockets, plus modern OCTAL, and 7-pin mini. Also included are Acorn and Locktal sockets. NOTE THAT THERE IS NOT A 9-Pin mini socket included on this set. So if you are needing to test 12AX7's you might need to look elsewhere. There is an adapter for this the MX-949. I have one of these in another listing.    On Dec-26-14 at 10:24:46 PST, seller added the following information: Well. Just as soon as I said "line cord is supple" the darn thing cracked in several places, so the AC line cord will need to be replaced.
Seller Notes Average cosmetic condition
