Item recovered locally, power on tested only and sold AS IS. This auction is for a Wavetek SAM Model 1500 Signal Analysis Meter, Fires Up Fine!! Selling as parts/repair since I don't know how to test. Could work just fine. The lid says SAM 1500, and inside it says SAM 1500 on the panel up in the right hand corner.  Has a strap on the bakelite case for carrying. This did not come with any charger to charge the batteries, but I did find a 12V power supply that came in the same box (will include this power supply). Don't know if this was the power supply that came with unit, but it did power it up with this power supply. I tried to power it on with the Power-Pull knob (battery supply), but when I pulled it out, it did not come on. When I plugged the 12V power supply into it and pulled the Power-Pull knob, it did fire up. When first turned on, the digital display showed a backlight with the number 4.50 with a small r to the left. The digital number readout lit up with a white light, then digital numbers appeared on the screen. The white light went off pretty much right away. The panel came up with the numbers 550.000, as seen in picture 10. I don't know how to check the battery, but what I did was push the little switch on panel up to Batt and the meter needle deflected up to the right until it got to about -14, or  in the battery GOOD region (picture 12). In my research, I believe this takes a rechargable battery pack that is about 14.4V, so I would say the batteries might be weak?, so could use new battery. Didn't let charge very long, but I don't know the longevity of the battery. When I turned the Power-Pull knob to the right, a squelch type noise came out of the speaker (top right, picture 7) and increased the more I turned the knob to the right. I didn't want to open up the unit to look inside because it still has the calibration sticker that looked intact. Looks to be a decent unit, but I have no way to really test this item. Since I can't test unit, I will be selling this as a parts/repair unit, even though it might work just fine. I have sold many items this way and a lot of people were pleasantly surprised when the item worked just fine. Just bid thinking this is a parts/repair unit and you might be surprised too. Thanks for your time. Buyer pays shipping cost, please see shipping statement before making any payment, thanks!
Looks to be in nice shape, powers up with 12V power supply. Selling as parts/repair since I don't know how to test. Don't know if that's the proper one, but does light it up. I think they have a 14.4V battery in them, which might be dead, so this will not overcharge it.
