[Boatanchors] Random Find: Possible Toy for the New Year?

[Bruce Long]

I'm guessing this is a crystal ( crystal = diode in this case) video detector followed by some amplification, filtering and maybe (trigger)pulse generation to be used for radar or similar testing.
I'm curious to but not $32 curious.
If it where me I'd want and see if this gets any bids and if not if it is re listed.

Hello All,

Looking around for parts for my next project and came across this:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Test-Set-Semiconductor-Device-TS-2417-ALM-62-BY-MCDONNELL-2032-steampunk-item-/201249862227?pt=BI_Books_Manuals&hash=item2edb6d3253

Have not found anything on the web as to what specific purpose it had, but looks kinda fun.  The nameplate mentions 'countermeasures'.  No bids yet, and tempted to gamble $32 just to see what's inside.  

Best Regards,

William
