That's an old one, never seen that type before. Does it print out? I should think it has valves and God know what. Is it in working condition.  

It doesn't look to have any capability to print out details of a result. I can't quite make out the analog scale, going tk ask the seller for a closer picture. It turns on but thats the only information the seller has provided.

no print out just an analog meter and probably transistors. it reminds me of a timing machine that Greiner made.

Looks as if the lights in your house will dim when you turn it on 💡

What do mean lights in my house ? we can't afford to turn them on in the UK 😆

No valves, probably a big bunch of TTL ic. This style was trendy in the 70s.

 I found another example in a science museum site. Approx date 40's to 70's

Thanks for the input guys, seller never got back to me regarding extra info so thats always a good sign that something is amiss.  It was cheap at only around £40 that might have been an interesting useful addition to my appliance collection. But more likely a waste of cash. This is another example in a museum collection

Surely not. Sell the mic alone and you may get the double amount 😬

    • Unfortunately yes! Magnetism can wreak havoc on a mechanical watch movement if the balance hairspring becomes magnetised. The cheap blue Chinese demagnetise-rs are useless if you feed them the wrong voltage (> 110 V), and even so, they don't work very well. The one I got when I was new worked so poorly that it drove me nuts. Eventually, I was lucky to get a Greiner Magnomatic for a little money. It's an amazing tool that can be trusted to do its job perfectly in seconds. A new one comes with a price tag of  £885 excluding tax and shipping, and if you think that's a bit steep (I believe most of us would) and can't find a used one I'd go with @Jon's recommendation.
    • Yep Mike , i use exactly the same gauge for it.
    • You definitely pick up different names from different people of all ages from everywhere. Like learning different dialects of the same language. Its all part of the learning curve of any trade.  Both those two terms describe to me perfectly that they are one and the same. After a couple of years of knowledge you can figure out what is being talked about. There are times that i get caught out with something i haven't encountered before. 
    • Mike, you have summed it up following the KISS principle.   Tom
