UP FOR AUCTION IS A VINTAGE 1952 SIMPSON SIMPSON MADE BY HICKOK US ARMY SIGNAL CORPS I-177-B TUBE TESTER. THIS IS ONE OF MY FATHERS MANY TUBE TESTERS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A NEW TESTER, AS HE SAID HE NEVER USED IT. BEEN SITTING AROUND IN THE BASEMENT SINCE HE BOUGHT IT MANY MANY YEARS AGO. IT IS IN EXCELLENT WORKING CONDITION. I TESTED SEVERAL TUBES AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS AND THEY PRETTY MUCH MATCH UP WITH READINGS FROM A COUPLE OTHER TUBE TESTERS I TESTED THE SAME TUBES ON. THE TUBE SOCKETS ARE INCREDIBLY TIGHT, MEANING THEY HAVE MORE THAN LIKELY NEVER HAD A TUBE INSERTED INTO THEM UNTIL I TESTED THESE TUBES. THE  METER IS IN GREAT SHAPE AS WELL AS THE FACE PLATE OF THIS TESTER. YOU CAN TELL BY THE LATCHES AND HINGES THAT THIS IS VINTAGE MILITARY TEST EQUIPMENT. THE LATER VERSIONS HAVE WHAT I FEEL ARE INFERIOR LATCHES AND HINGES. THE CASE HAS SOME WEAR AND TEAR FROM MANY YEARS OF EITHER SITTING AROUND OR BEING MOVED FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER. YOU COULD ACTUALLY REPAINT THIS TESTED AND IT WOULD LOOK GEM MINT AS IT IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND IN GREAT WORKING CONDITION. I DID REPLACE THE ORIGINAL CORD AND PLUG-IN WITH A NEWER AND SAFER 3 PRONG PLUG-IN AS THE OLD ONE WAS IN BAD SHAPE. DO NOT LET THIS TESTER PASS YOU BY AS THEY ARE BECOMING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND. DUE TO IT'S AGE I AM SELLING THIS UNIT " AS IS ". FREE SHIPPING WITHIN THE USA. GOOD LUCK AND GOOD BIDDING.
