I like to find old test gear as is mentioned in Navy course and radio
specific tech manuals. Just nice to have the stuff called for in alignments
etc...loads the ckt as it was back then. My SIG-3, 1953 edition of the 1945
manual lists the I-56 as a general purpose radio test set / tube tester with
an assoc. radio analyzer. Kinda like the Navy OE-12...but that had no tube
tester. Can scan the page if you want.
