SOLD: Heathkit IT-21 Tube Tester. The original assembly manual, connection diagrams, and an errata sheet dated January 17, 1964 are included. The manual includes the full schematic of the tester.
$150 USD + shipping. I take payment via credit card and paypal. I'll cover the fees. I get excellent shipping rates via FedEx and UPS so I can get it to you fast for a very reasonable rate. Please contact me by email (add @neurochrome.com to my user ID here) or toss me a PM with your country, city, and postal code and I'll get a shipping quote to you. I have included a couple of examples below so you can get an idea:
UPS Ground to Toronto, ON, M5V1A8, Canada: $32 USD
UPS 3-Day to Beverly Hills, CA 90210, USA: $49 USD
I have not tested this tester or even plugged it in, so I won't vouch for functionality. That said, the circuit is basically a transformer and a few capacitors and resistors, so even if it does not work it should be easy to repair. I will leave that for the buyer, though.
The tube chart is clean and reads clearly. The adhesive tape has released from one of the rollers but that should be an easy fix with some acid free picture tape. Again; a project for the buyer. 🙂
This tester was built "back in the day" by Fred, the father-in-law of one of my best friends. The workmanship looks good. All the knobs and switches appear to function as intended. As you can see from the pictures this tester is in excellent condition.
The manual shows some age, but appears to be intact. The pages have been marked as Fred checked off each completed item. Those marks aside, the pages are clean.

Carefully packed and well cushioned package arrived yesterday. The tester looks amazingly clean and in great condition for something which was put together in the 60s (best guess that it's from '64). Christmas came early for me.
Thank you Tom! An adventure awaits.
