Motorola Test Equipment For Sale: . . Motorola S1053C AC Voltmeter: The S1053C is an AC voltmeter with full scale readings of 1 millivolt (-72 dBm) to 300 volts (+52 dBm) in 12 ranges, and is rated +/- 2% from 50 Hz to 300 kHz, or +/-3% from 20 Hz to 1 MHz. It includes a high gain isolation amplifier, and can be AC or Battery operated. It is housed in a very heavy duty steel case, suitable for field use, although it is certainly lab quality, and made for such. Because of its frequency response, it is ideal for audio measurements. This one works fine and looks great. It has a calibration sticker on it, which also shows the quality of this instrument. Paper work is included for $45. . . Motorola S 1067 A, Audio Generator This audio oscillator covers from 20 Hz to 200 KHz in four overlapping ranges. It is a laboratory quality instrument, but is in heavy duty case that can also be used in the field. It was often used to service Motorola communications equipment. It can be operated from either 120 V AC, or from a battery. It also includes a distortion analyzer as part of the unit. This one works fine and looks great. It has a calibration sticker on it, which also shows the quality of this instrument. Paper work is included for $60. . . Other test equipment: . . RCA WV-150 A, Analog Expanded Scale AC Line Meter The RCA WV-120 Power-Line Monitor is designed for use where it is important to know the power line voltages. It provides continuous, accurate indication of the AC line at a glance, without the inconveniences of handling probes and switches. It can be used with frequencies of 25 Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz, or 400 Hz. The instrument features accuracy of +/- 2% at 120 volts and +/- 3% at 100 volts and 140 volts. The meter has a large special expanded scale with large, easy-to-read voltage designations. The meter movement is a moving-vain type. It indicates RMS values even when the waveform is distorted. This feature is highly desirable because it permits the meter to indicate the presence of line-voltage "bounce" or fluctuations. More info at http://www.indianaradios.com/RCA%20WV-120A%20Power%20Line%20Monitor.htm This one works 100% and looks fine. $40 plus shipping from Florida. . . RCA WV-510 A "Master Voltohymst" VTVM: The RCA WV-510 A "Master Voltohmyst" is a very nice instrument! It addition to all of the "normal" VTVM functions (AC volts, DC volts, ohms), it will also measure DC current up to 1500 ma, using separate probes (included). AC frequency response is from 20 Hz to 3 MHz, so it is fine for audio AC measurements. The meter itself is large (over 7 1/2 inches) and has a very nice mirrored scale, so it plenty accurate. It even has a calibration sticker on it. The leather handle is in good shape. Cosmetically it is very good, but of course is not perfect, since it has some age on it. My guess is this is the one you will use for most everything, and your other meters will not get as much use. It includes both the DC current probe, plus the regular probe with AC/DC switch, as most VTVMs have. Paper work is also included for $100. . .
