Default Radiometers Valve Tester

Just acquired an old Radiometers Ltd, Model UVT (Universal Valve Tester?). Got it very cheap so I'm not too concerned about it. The serial number is No 177.

Has anyone any info about this model, particularly handbooks, manuals, etc. Or is it destined for the back of my shed and eventual consignment to the dump?

As a long time 'lurker' on this site, I've finally plucked up the courage to join.

Hope someone can help.

This looks like it could be the one mentioned by the 1937/8 Trader guide (which you can read from my web site http://home.btconnect.com/gmb/1937guide.pdf)
