So I was at a collectors' show this past weekend and this oddball piece of equipment caught my eye and the price was reasonable enough I decided to pick it up for giggles.
Western Progress Installer's Test Set, p/n 8000 - searching turned up nothing except for other units that are or had been on Ebay.
Is it something that could be used as a general-purpose instrument or is it too 'niche' to be of any use?
It uses three batteries - Eveready 246 (big square 9-volt battery) and 2x Eveready 412 (22.5V alkaline).
The wire gland holding the three leads was broken so I temporarily removed the leads (red / yel / grn, each ending in a telcom clip).
If it's worth refurbishing, I would want to know where I can source fresh test lead wire (each is 4' or so), switch boots, and ideas for dealing with the remnant of the enclosure that folded over the front.
Alternatively, if anyone is after a 'parts unit', I'd be willing to let this go for a reasonable price (I don't have that much into this).
