Hello everyone. Picked up a Triplett Professional All Wave Radio Servicer model 1175b this weekend. The unit was built for the National Radio Institute around 1941. It's in visually good condition, but I haven't gotten into the guts of it yet. It contains a 4 band rf signal generator covering 130 kc to 28 mc, and a 1000 ohms per volt ac and 5000 ohms per volt dc multimeter. I had heard that Triplett made very good instruments, and I could use both of these instruments since I don't have a signal generator or a 'period correct' VOM as of yet. I was able to get a complete reference manual and schematic from the "other" forum. It was battery operated, so the first thing would be building a power supply for it. It has two 30 triode tubes inside, so if it is a bust the tubes are probably worth more than the $5.00 I spent to get the whole thing. Thanks in advance for any input. Take care, Gary
