    Description

    Please examine pictures carefully. This is a "fixer upper" but could be a classic to be proud of for the right person having some basic refinishing skills. Tester is in need of exterior paint and interior cleaning. It should clean up well for display and when the power cord is replaced it should work since all switches, levers, and controls move freely. It obviously was used up to and including the time that Compactrons became common. There are faint notations in the tube setting booklet for the common later model 9 pin miniature and the compactron tubes.
