Default Re: Rescued Test Equipment

Well, thought I'd concentrate on just the "Capacity Measurer" meantime. Hopefully, some Demolition/Explosives vintage enthusiast will take the Demolition Test Set off my hands, and I'll leave the Rotary Regavolt for while.
Capacity Measurer - I've drawn up a circuit diagram, & cleaned up the resistance "Harp" - quite tuneful actually. All wiring is intact with un-perished insulation. The buzzer works, but I've yet to test the earphone, or connect to some long lengths of wire an see how accurate the whole set-up is. I've sent an email to P & B(Yes - they're still on the go), to see what's in their archives, but no reply yet.
Biggest challenge will be the mahogany wooden case. The original hinge/stay assemblies are broken, and the exterior is badly scratched & filthy.

Regards, David
