I'm in the process of moving house and came across this today. Somebody gave it to me from a house clearance a few years ago, thought it might be of interest.

Got the clamp meter somewhere
Not electrical but radio. This simple signal generator needs some work, but is still incredibly accurate. It is clear a lot of work has been put into the design. My modern Keysight is very clever but far less interesting to look at inside. I have a few other sig gens with some rather fancy tropicalised components.

picked up this little gem at a car boot. 1934 and still accurate.

Where you moving to, Streamer? My village isn’t big enough for two sparks!
Chuck the meter. The little wooden box will be great for sandwiches.

What?
I still have my old Evershed and Vignoles testers I bought on Gumtree a few years ago. They're not in as good condition as that old Cambridge though.
