I have for your consideration:
Boonton Radio Q Meter Type 170-A
The Q meter measures the ratio of reactance to resistance in a coil, capacitor or dielectric. The component being tested is connected in a resonant circuit where resistive loss can be measured. Because this measurement can be made at or near the operating frequency the Q meter often provides a more useful indication of component performance than an audio- or line-frequency meter or bridge.
The Type 170-A covers 30 MHz to 200 MHz with the internal oscillator. With the internal multiplier Qs from 0 to 1200 can be measured. Basic accuracy is ±10%.
Price in Boonton Catalog B (1942) - $490.00. The Type 170-A instruction manual is online at the BoatAnchor Manual Archive.
I have not powered this up, all tubes are present, knobs and controla turn freely and as they should.
Appear's to be in great condition.Looks like its had a gentle life.It should clean up real nice.
It was acquired from a very large estate sale and all other items that it came with have tested 100%, none the less I'm pricing to move.
for more of these kind of items!
