Unsure if that is the one. Here is the link to what it looks like.

Do you have one?

It is a cheaper copy of the same, I guess.

What it is is a signal tracer that allows to listen to the signal by detecting and amplifying it at every stage.

The other is just more complex tracer.

I have the testing procedures, schematic and parts listing for the Model 030 Dynamic Tester. Listed in the 1946 Philco Radio Test Instrument Manual. Just use the regular Schematic Info page order form on my site for a photocopy of these pages.

A 4 tube signal tracer for RF and AF signals in a typical radio.

Regards,
Chuck

Chris,

I have the instruction manual w/schematic posted on my site:

http://www.myvintagetv.com/manuals_and_documents.htm

I do have a large number of Philco test equipment manuals if you need any others. I usually don't scan them until someone is looking for one.

Chuck A,

Welcome! So that's your site, eh? Very good...I have used it to obtain some McMurdo Silver info recently. Thanks for making this resource available to us!
