John - the Perham collection here in San Jose has two early Fisher metal
detectors. These consist of two wood boxes about 18 in sq, one in front,
and one in back, supported by two sticks. Its like the 3rd from the left on
the Fisher web site. I think it used tubes and batteries, with a headset
to hear the 'squeal'.
I don't know the model nos.

A friend (I think) saw fit to give me three pieces of test gear. I would
like to learn the period of manufacture of the following gear, if you can
remember it and are familiar with it. 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.
1. Supreme 504 A "tester" appears to be a tube tester with roll chart?
2. TS 532/U multimeter with MX815 multiplier kit. The name Mitch is
painted on its' face.
3. Fisher M-Scope made in Palo Alto, Ca.. Not an oscilloscope. Has a meter
on it and has instructions regarding using it parallel to the earth and
is said to have readings and tone changes near metal and minerals,
Just curious if any "old timers" have encountered these pieces and if you
know much about them. Please share the info if you have any. Thanks and 73,
John, K5PGW
