I just spent a short time looking for the 159; there's one in NX4Y's collection, with pictures, but I did not find any more technical data. I'm tempted to guess that it could have been the same device in a more modern box; black wrinkle paint gives way to instrument grey. Actually, it looked a bit like one of the Boonton RF Millivoltmeters.

I did try contact NX4Y via his website before Xmas but no reply. The last update on that site looks like 2008 and I think it mostly goes back some years prior to that.
