content: I don't see them in the catalogs. But the 1440's claim to use EvanOhm. I haven't any specs. so far.

content: Quote from: KungFuJosh on September 05, 2025, 01:26:52 amOh, I recognize that one! It's from the Unitek Instruments calibration lab auction I was at in Ohio! The owner had all sorts of rare and awesome stuff like that and I'm pretty sure I remember seeing that exact one.Er... ok, I'm certain General Radio made plenty of them, so I could be wrong here. But looking at what that seller has I'm seeing a number of other things I remember from the auction, and that seller is in Ohio, same state as the auction... I'm *reasonably* sure that's where it's from.

content: Quote from: KungFuJosh on September 05, 2025, 02:01:55 pmYou're both more correct, and less correct, than you might think.I'm certain the shelf that was a part of went for more than $30 or I would have gotten it. But that was kind of early in the auciton. At the end of the day, there was a row of tables, something like 30 to 40 feet long, covered in components, tools, and misc. It went for $1 because the only 2 people left at that point who were looking to bid on anything were myself and one other guy - I knew I didn't have the storage space at home for what was probably half a ton of parts and tools, and the other guy brought a 20ft box truck. So he got it all for a buck.
