The Herman H. Sticht Co. Vintage RECORD Megohm Meter is a rare and sought-after collectible item for enthusiasts vintage test equipment. This meter allows for measuring the electrical resistance, providing valuable information for electricians.

Original leads, leather case and wood box are intact.

This vintage Record megohmmeter (sometimes labeled as Record Electrical Co.) is a classic analog insulation resistance tester, housed in a wooden box and leather case, designed for testing electrical insulation integrity. These devices, often using a hand-cranked generator (megger), measure in megohms to identify insulation leakage.
Key Features and Usage of Record Megohmmeter Testers:
  • Design: housed in a durable wooden case with a leather handle.
  • Mechanism: hand-cranked (generator-type), meaning no batteries are required for operation.
  • Function: Measures insulation resistance by applying high voltage (often 250V, 500V, or 1000V) to components to ensure they are not shorting to ground.
  • Usage: Used for checking motors, transformers, and cables.
  • Safety: They are designed for industrial and field use, offering automatic discharging of voltage after testing.
