  • Condition: The condition of this DUCTER is unknown. It HAS NOT been tested. The device appears to be undamaged. The factory seals (screw and fasteners) do not appear to be broken, so I do not believe that the internal circuitry has ever been repaired or modified. the leather covering on the carrying strap is missing, but could be easily replaced. The strap release (next to the knob) has been bent somewhat, but still can be operated to release the strap. There are some scratches, gouges and other blemishes on the wooden case that were acquired during use. The original probes are not included. (SEE PHOTOS)

    Description

    For Sale is a
    circa
    1960's
    "DUCTER"
    A Vintage Micro-Ohmmeter
    Manufactured by the James G. Biddle Company in Philadelphia, PA
    (Serial Number 1323880).
    Note: This Device Has NOT Been Tested!
    This instrument is housed in a nicely made
    walnut(?) box. The factory seals on the box appear undisturbed, so it is unlikely that the box has ever been opened, and the circuit presumably has not been tampered with.  The meter appears to be functional and the switches operate mechanically. The steel strap handle does release to provide access to the meter. Unfortunately, the leather covering for the steel strap handle has long ago deteriorated and is missing. There are numerous age related blemishes, abrasions, and scratches on the wooden cabinet.
    Operating instructions are attached to the inner face of the meter cover. Probes are NOT included.
