Hello John,

Spend a couple of minutes with Google, and you will find the following:

The TS-352 (not TS-532), is a common military multimeter.
Google TS-352, and you will get lots of hits.

Supreme 504-A Set Tester
This push button set tester was produced in three model versions, the 504, 
504-A, and 504-B. This series Supreme tube tester has a built in roll chart 
for tube data. The front panel has painted lines from the chart to the 
corresponding controls for easy tube set up. This tube tester also measures 
DC, ohms, milliamps, amps, and capacitors.
Google Supreme 504-A, and you will get lots of hits.


The M-Scope was manufactured by the Fisher Research Laboratory, Inc., of 
Palo Alto,  California. Designed for uranium prospecting, it came with a 
shoulder strap and a GM detector at the end of a 36" walking stick probe. 
The latter eliminated the need to bend over to inspect ore and it made it 
easier to access hard-to-reach places. The wooden case which protected the 
electronics from rain and dust, had a hinged top that when opened allowed 
access to the controls.
Google Fisher M-Scope, and you will get lots of hits.

About when was it made and in some cases what is it and does it have any boatanchor utility for the ham with a lot of old tube type gear.
