Up for bid is one vintage Oak Ridge Products Model 107 miniature tube tester which appears to be in good, working condition. This somewhat rare, handheld unit runs on regular 120 VAC and has sockets on two sides and the back for testing 7, 8, 9 and 12 pin tubes. The attached original miniature tube chart is a bit dog eared but intact and readable. It runs from OA4 to 117Z6. It obviously doesn't include ever...y tube in between but seems to have much of what was popular in the early 1950's. I didn't go through every socket and switch setting but I did test a known good 7 pin 6C4 and a 9 pin 12AU7 with great results.
The compact, Bakelite case measures about 5.5" by 4" by 3". It has the usual surface wear you would expect for a 70 year old work shop item but no cracks or chips. I believe this type of tester was often included as part of a home correspondence course. Please see the photos for more details.
Thanks for looking and, if you end up the new owner, thanks very much for giving this treasure a new home and for helping me to downsize!
