I missed that part. I won an auction for a NOS in box Tektronix plugin from the 1960s. It had never been opened. The rubberized horse hair they used as packing material smelled so strong I nearly tossed out the whole box!

I know how bad these rotting organics can smell...

Syntax Error:
How many Wallabys died to make that covering? So would Dave class that as a dumpster score? You may need your PPE when carrying out the autopsy.

Found a Tecnico address from
http://www.thebakeliteradio.com/page55/page55.html
Tecnico Electronics, 13-19 Glebe St. Glebe. NSW
Which on Google Earth is now a block of luxury apartments. What a surprise. not.

Lamé Üsernåmê:
Tecnico 859, or something around that number I believe. Not 1940 - style is later than that; I would've said late 40's, maybe early 50's - and the 859 is from 1948.

Circlotron:
Could be a custom case somebody made for it.
What is the valve lineup?

I'm inclined to agree------it doesn't look as professional as I would expect from Technico.
As to ugly, have I shown you the "Number 11 Radio set " I used to own?
