Eico 145 Signal Tracer. It's got some battle scars, so I think it's going to get rebuilt to use on the bench.
Sent the picture to a friend, wanted his opinion on the 470 resistor in the foreground. 2W or high voltage...consensus says 2W.
Nice. I love seeing old electronic components and devices. Many were bulletproof, Built to last back then.
It's somewhere around 60+ years old, so yes. Just now to the point where it's needing service.
Those resisters look like they were made of cork and then painted.
Not that far off to be honest.

That's $20 a month from a website in Germany.
I can get cheaper from in Liechtenstein
Not now you can't. We just raised that price.
Those caps aren't sus at all. Still might be ok, stranger things have happened.
All resistors and capacitors in that thing are either leaky, bad, or so far out of tolerance it's amazing the device works at all.
Going to rebuild it and put it into service. This one doesn't have a lot of fancy crap like the eye tube to go bad, so it's ideal for daily driver use.
