For Sale: Boatanchor Test Gear and Miscellaneous Preceptor Model K tube tester. Art-deco looking tube tester, black with chrome trim, about 22 inches square and 15 inches high with a sloping deck like a 1940s automobile car hood. Some trim piece that went all around the bottom is missing. The readout for test results is a matrix of about 24 pilot lamps, which presumably lit in some sequence that told you whether the tube was bad or good. There was some sort of bezel over the lamp matrix at one time but it is gone. Otherwise, this tester seems to be in nice condition. But I have no documentation for it and therefore no way to actually test a tube. No miniature sockets of course--just old 4-5-6-7-pin and octal-base sockets. Im guessing this is 1940-vintage? Weighs about 25 pounds. The sloping front panel is metal. But the cabinet is wood, painted black. As-is. Might look good hanging on your wall--Ive seen plenty of art that wasnt anywhere near as interesting. Pictures available. $39
Small box of spare capacitors from the BC-348-J spares kit. The tag says Wells Gardner File 832-CHI-42 so I assume that is the order number. I doubt you would want to use these but you might like to have them as part of the original BC-348-J spares accessory kit. Free for mailing cost. Marconi TF1099 20Mc/s sweep generator. This is a rack mount unit 10.5 inches high with a little door in the middle top area that contains the probes. The manual says that this is a video frequency sweep generator for response measurements with an accuracy of 0.01 db. Sweep output range is from 100kc/s to 20 Mc/s so this does have some potential. Its complete and appears to be in nice shape. Typical superb Marconi quality. Untested and as-is. With manual--a very good copy I think. $59 Signal Corps U. S.
