Quality wise it's excellent. The solid wooden cabinet is all nice and solid,
The push buttons selectors are very well built.
It'll test anything a Heathkit, Solar, Knight will do. As much as I like the Heathkit C3 I would say it's built far better.
You'll also have to do a recap on yours. It doesn't look too bad to do theres a few old dry electolytics in there for filters and a bunch of wax paper caps
Here's a manual I found for them.

The 12A7 is 10 bucks or less if you shop around. |
Thanks for the info, I think that the reason why the person I bought mine from couldn't get it to power on was because the 12A7 tube is missing.
the one I bought is missing its original leather handle but I think I could make a new one fairly easily with some leather from a local craft shop.
