    Description

    For your consideration: A piece of electric history - "A.C. Test" Meter
    by Crompton Parkinson, made in Chelmsford. U.K. circa 1926.
    This is
    Instrument
    No 151952 -
    an extremely RARE Collector's / Museum
    piece,
    - see the
    sciencemuseumgroup uk collection.
    This test unit is set in a beautiful wood housing and is complete with
    an extra Resistance Unit mounted on the back.
    It comes complete with a storage / carrying case made of galvanized steel
    lined with thick felt.
    Size of the meter is 8 1/2 inches wide
    x 6 inches deep
    x 11 1/2 inches tall
    (21.5 x 29 x 15 cm), with is 5.62 Kg (12.38 pounds).
    Size of the case is 8 inches x 11 inches x 12 inches tall.
    Combined weight of meter and case is 8.97 Kg (19.78 pounds).
    Display glass has a crack in the upper left portion, otherwise the meter
    is in great condition. It is untested, so I can't speak to the functionality,
    but given the overall condition of the unit, I can't see why it would not work.
    This meter came out an old electrical / appliance repair shop.
    The case has a broken strap, but is in great vintage condition otherwise.
    Please see all photos for condition.
