SELLING AS-IS, NO RETURNS. ALSO HAS 2 MANUALS, DATED 1981 & 1982. VERY HEAVY! Mason Engineering Inc. F.G. Mason Engineering Inc. was an American manufacturer of technical surveillance and counter measures equipment (TSCM). They are best known for their range of bug-finding receivers. The company was founded in the early 1960s by Francis (Frank) G Mason, who also developed all equipment in the early years. The company was closed in the early 1990s after a bribe scandal. The company developed a wide range of TSCM equipment, and for more than 30 years, they were one of the key suppliers to governments all over the world. Well-known bug finders were developed, such as the Mason A2, the A3 and the MPR-1 shown in the image on the right. Later versions, such as theMPR-5 are still used widely today by specialised TSCM companies around the world. Mason Engineering Inc. was based in Fairfield, Connecticut (USA), where all equipment was assembled by approx. 60 employees. In the early 1990's, the tide turned against Mason, when both the company and Frank Mason himself were prosecuted and convicted for breaking the FCPA. Apparantly, Frank Mason tried to bribe West German Government officials when trying to win a large contract with the West German Military Intelligence Service (MAD). Both the company and its sole share holder were sentenced to a USD 75,000 fine and five years probation. Fruthermore they had to restitute USD 160,000 to the German government. Shortly afterwards, Mason Inc. closed its doors. Despite all this, Mason can be considered one of the pioneers of TSCM equipment and his receivers are beautiful examples of clever engineering; way ahead of their time. According to a former Mason employee, most of the design and engineering work was carried out by Frank Mason himself, and all electronic and mechanical parts were built in-house.
