Operating 539A Tube Tester.  This is my grandfather's, which he used to repair TVs in his spare time during retirement.  Powers on, tests tubes easily.  The only difficulty appears to be the AC line adjust, if it is turned too far, the power drops out.  I opened up the tester and this appears to be caused by a small worn area on the old style rheostat, likely easily repairable or swap in a more modern rheostat and you don't really have to do much line adjusting these days anyway.  Unlike another model I see on sale this week, the mho meter reads out fine and needle swings gently and accurately. Also included is the original manual, a spare paper spool with tube data (the original I believe, the one mounted in place right now has more tubes listed than the spare spool), three test wires and the original advertising flyer for the device (lower left in main photo).  The original cloth wrapped power cord was frayed, so my grandfather appears to have soldered in a modern brown extension cord, which works just fine for supplying A/C power.  The fuse bulb is not original, but appears proper to act as a fuse.  I've lit it up in the third photo to show it operates. Also included is a box of tubes, some tested with ohm readouts, many others not.  Too many to list separately, but some whoppers are in there and a few hard to find tubes, but mainly standard TV tubes of the late 1950s and 1960s. Tubes come with the tester as a lot.  Tester and tubes will be boxed carefully before sending.  I will only ship this UPS ground due to their quality and secure delivery.
