This anchor weighs enough I skipped breaking my package scale with it. Gotta be 50 or so pounds.
A big anchor for a big boat.
The Measurements Corp was right up there with General Radio in the test equipment biz 70 years ago. Not sure if this one is quite that old, but that's the ballpark.
It has had a rough life since retirement. This output socket has been knocked loose from the solder that held it in place.
It won't go below 2 MHz.
Goes up to 400 MHz max.
Never have figured out the reason to put any sort of notice inside. If it's that important, put it on the outside where you can read it.
Pretty sure this is the one that doesn't blow the fuse. I have another one of these that does. Leads me to think we overloaded the power transformer. It had a drift issue, so we added a rectifier and DC regulator for the oscillator tube's filament. Made it more stable, but it probably added to the load on that transformer winding. Either way, one of them has a bad transformer, the other one didn't.
No, I won't ship this thing. If nobody wants to pick it up, that's the last hurrah before the scrapyard. It served me well 40 years ago, but now it just has to go.
Somewhere.
Else.
