I bought this tester on eBay some years ago with the idea of rebuilding it. Never got to it. I have two other good testers so I do not want to devote time to this one. I do not remember the specific condition advertised when I bought it but I researched the features and specifications of this model deciding it was a good prospect for rehab. I also found instructions for "Restoring and Calibrating the Eico 666 and 667 testers." It will be included with the tester.
When I got th...is out from storage I slowly brought it up to operating voltage with a Variac. All of the controls seem to work properly. I also tested a few tubes with good results. There is one strange item I want to point out. One of the screws holding the meter face to the meter has come loose and is wedged in the upper right corner of the clear plastic bezel. It does not seem to move around. I included a photo of it. The meter still appears to operate as it should. I would not recommend putting this tester into regular use without testing it further and calibrating it. That would be a good time to address the meter face.
The built-in tube chart operates with a little resistance but it does rotate. However, a good copy of the manual is included. It has assembly directions for the kit and a full list of tube-values. The metal face is in good condition and and all of the switches/controls seem to operate properly.
The metal cases is solid and undamaged. Paint shows some wear and there are spots of light rust. The handle is intact. This tester and manual weigh 18 pounds. Thus the shipping cost.
I will only warrant that this tester arrives as described. There is no other guaranty due to its age.
I ship only to the contiguous 48 states.
