Condition: For Parts or Not Working
This US Army Signal Corps TS-117/GP Wavemeter Test Set is being sold AS-IS due to its age and missing parts. The instrument is housed in its original wood carrying case, which shows significant wear consistent with decades of military and field use — the case exterior has scuffs, paint wear, and an old handwritten inventory number (50657-123). The instrument body itself shows general surface oxidation, grime, and patina typical of vintage military surplus equipment from this era. The front panel features the XTAL CURRENT meter and SENSITIVITY dial; the top surface has two Type N (female) connectors and one smaller connector; the side panel carries a printed Calibration-Micrometer vs Frequency reference chart. A vintage AFTO Form 108 calibration label is affixed, indicating calibration dates of 1 Jul 1969 with a due date of 1 Jul 1970. The original listing notes that parts are missing; buyers should review the photos carefully to assess completeness before purchasing. This item is sold strictly AS-IS with no functionality guarantee. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
