Cool it has the operators books and the timing light. Looks like a good clean up might just do it and re paint the cabinet, the stickers are 35 repoped. I am stoked need to get some old pints dizzys to mess with now.
He did run the speed up and down on it. Wobbled a bit at high speed don't know if that means anything.
Do you see the pick of the cable in back.
I just got those snap on meters in the mail, they are also awesome for under $10 shipped a Snap on mt 404 Alt/load tester and a mt 414 tach/dwel It will be like going back to the 60's in the shop eventually. You have to see this timing light looks like a ray gun from the old b movies.
There are rubber bushings that dry out no biggie, the cable is no big deal, really surprised it ran at all. Good thing that means the capacitors are good in it then. I am really happy about it!
The model is a MDT right? They all look the same back then, if so it is late 50's.
Looks like a 57 mdt-50 has the vac pump for the advance on the right. WOW!!!!!!!! Love this old stuff!
I really do not believe it ran, that is so awesome. I thought it was basically a restorer.
Ill go out and check. The two black covers in this pic say flashlight battery cover
I think he said the bottom one needs a new battery and the top one needs fixed. Or the other way around.

Yes and the book says it sold new for $610.00.
@halifaxhops i found this in the one barn this afternoon, it plugs in and works, transmits and receives. Is this one of those ones you said to look for
Batteries are a given and the holders rot out they used mercury batteries, easy fix and expected. My .99 cent meters!
That's a cool old 5 watt cb, if it works it is better than the newer ones, just a 23 channel though.
Just to cool I am almost speechless, not quite though that takes a lot! Did through a cheap bid on another cool item.
He had another one. Just the top. All cleaned up for display.
Well I'm glad your happy. That makes my day.
This place seems to have the parts I will prob need.
Distributor Tester Repair
THINK IT WILL CLEAN UP ON THE TESTER ITSELF?

HA It will be like the mad scientist lab in there! Threw a low bid at that just to cool.
The lenses just some windex. The paint on the cabinet is actually not bad maybe just polish it up?
I think you scored major.
Ok what makes it better
They are going 2200 in restored and might work. Like lobster?
New ones are limited at 4 watts and you probably have crystals in there instead of phased lock loop. They will stand up to EMP!
