Simpson Tube TV Field Strength Meter
With the demise of analog TV this field strength meter probably has no practical use other than as a display item in a vintage TV collection. It appears not to work although I'm not sure what to expect from it now that channels 2 through 13 no longer exist. Maybe it is working and there's just nothing out there to measure anymore.
The pilot lamp and all tubes light up, but there is no indication on the meter. The inside looks pretty clean and contains six tubes and an old style TV turret tuner. The case is a little dirty, but not dented or seriously scratched. The only significant flaw is a crack in the upper left corner of the meter bezel, which you can see in the photo.
