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

[Barry]

Those are TF1313A models.  Mine is a TF1313.  Not too much differences but, among other things, the 1313A has a variable sensitivity control and the component layout underneath the chassis is rotated 90 degrees.

Thanks,
Barry - N4BUQ
