Hi Ron! It's the version 3, this one has the police band. The model tag says it's model 89 code 123.

If you mean this one:

it takes the 70/90 cloth in either whiskey or copper. This is the correct, original pattern.

Pattern #1 (whiskey) or pattern #2 (copper) from http://www.grillecloth.com .

I've seen these particular 89 sets both ways; some with whiskey colored 70/90 cloth, others with copper.

P.S. Nice to see you back here, Steve.

I have been bizzzzzEEE!! I've restored around 2 dozen various tube testers. When I'm done, they are restored and newly calibrated. But I ran into two testers that BEAT ME! I have lots of WONDERFUL I-177 military tester parts, no meters, though. Okay I'm a geek! What can I say? LOL
The colors you provided are a whole lot better than glaring butter yellow color I saw! YECHHH!

EDIT: Please check classifieds for my WTB.

If you have been working on a number of tube testers, perhaps you might be able to help Phorum member Mikhail7 find a good mutual conductance tester?

As for the knob you need, drop a PM or email to Phorum member ekimetsok - Mike Koste.

Can't help you on the shields, sorry.
