[Boatanchors] Strange one on EBay

[Robert Kerr]

Boonton is still around making electronic test equipment.  I've used 
some of their fast RF power meters recently, and they are really quite 
handy - like an oscilloscope, but with a log magnitude vertical scale.  
In the 50s and 60s they made "RX meters" for measuring impedances of 
electronic components at high frequencies.  http://www.boonton.com
