Got this for $20 to my door. I will have it tested against a known "good" meter before use. Any thing to be aware of after that ? Appears to be well handled and the tele antenae is like new.

Got one, along with a couple Archer, and a Sears. Lafayette my favorite. I had it tested against an antenna analyzer at Bob's CB. It works appropriately. I have them check it once a year when I remember. always got good reading. Just reminder that its from back when Chuck Berry sang, "My Ding-A-Ling"
