Fluke 164 Counter Demo Aid
sambonator:
I found an interesting 1979 relic from Fluke.
From what I gather from the markings, it appears to be a signal generator for frequency counter product demonstrations.
It can be AC powered or powered by its internal 4 D cell NiCD batteries.
It just takes unscrewing 1 screw to slide the entire unit out of the case. Accepts 115V or 230V via switch on the board.
Sorry about the poor smartphone pics!
sambonator:
Here are the internals.
The 4 NiCd D cells have shrink wrap around them, along with cardboard protectors to protect the board from battery leakage.
sambonator:
Non-custom IC's, standard GE NiCD D Cells. Looks good for 40+ yrs old.
sambonator:
Cool thing is, it still works, as a Fluke should ;D
sambonator:
Scope readings, from left to right BNCs, going through each setting. The knobs were set to top dead center.
(sorry I'm still a scope noob)
