Not sure what I'm going to do with it, it takes weird 15V 411A batteries, so it would be expensive to operate.

Pic doesn't do it justice, the case is that awesome Bell System aqua, and it even has a KS List number on the face. Makes me sad for the time when Ma Bell was big enough she could buy equipment from manufacturers and have them specially customized.

Come on man! Use a lithium ion battery with a DC to DC converter. I know you can do it.

Yeah, thumbnail sized DCDC converters are inexpensive and reliable.

I got this more as a memento of my time selling my soul to Ma. I'll put it with my collection of other bell stuff.

Yes, but I also have a $65 oscilloscope meter that does everything this one does to a better degree of accuracy.

I got my oscilloscope free from an old engineer that left it out in the weather for a year. It still fired right up and continues to work great 6-7 years later

Some of those old ones were bricks. The one I'm currently using is a portable scope meter, but I still have a couple of CRT units around.

That plastic window looks awfully dry to me. Did you wipe it dry, Stupidbird?

Well you better wet it again or you might throw off the temperature compensation.
