Item recovered locally, untested and sold as is. This auction is for a Vintage De Vale Systems Range Analyzer from De Vale Incorporated. This came from an old retired engineer from one of our local television stations. He had some pretty neat old stuff like radios, antennas, test equipment , new/used parts, etc. I have no idea how to test this item, so it has been untested.  I really don't know much about this item, but it is probably something that you won't find too many of. I tried to find one on Ebay, but with no success. I did a search on it, and did find the patent information on it, which is patent number 3649824. This is what the abstract says about this item: An analog computer which is very accurate and is capable of calculating results dependent upon a number of independent variables. The independent variables are handled in separate portions of the computer and the outputs of each portion are combined to obtain a solution. The preferred embodiment of the computer disclosed comprises a systems range calculator in which receiver sensitivity, transmitter power, antenna gain, tower height and the frequency of the transmitter may be set to obtain the calculated range of the equipment. This is a pretty neat looking unit, and probably very rare to locate one. I haven't opened it up, but it must be powered by a battery of some kind. All knobs turn fine and I can see that the meter arm does move fluidly. I looked under the frame and on the meter it says HONEYWELL and MODEL 65.   Has a nice heavy duty metal handle for carrying, and is tightened by two thumb spinners on either side. Thanks for your time.  Buyer pays shipping cost, please see shipping statement before making any payment, thanks!
