[Test-Equipment] Anyone want a Marconi TF1313 LCR Bridge?

[Pete Lancashire]

If my benches were not full, it would be fun to have. Its specs are
not that bad. Sadly the shipping
is a killer. Maybe post it on a couple of the Yahoo groups ?

Industrial Design Observation ... Why did Marconi have to use such big
dials on their stuff
from that era ? You should see a couple of the signal generators !

PS All my chemicals are now either in the garage or only used on the
back porch. I was touching up
on old Tek side panel and the nozzle jammed full open. In the few
seconds it took me to toss the can
into the trash can there was blue paint everywhere.

I had it looking so good and working better than it was so I was pretty heartbroken.  Lots of other equipment on the desk took damage as well.
