This is the "Accurate Model 151," a vintage vacuum tube tester featuring a large analog meter and multiple tube sockets.
With its simple controls and large meter, it is an appealing piece of test equipment for those who work with vacuum tubes for vintage radios and audio gear.
🟢 Serviced and Functional
It has been serviced to ensure smooth, precise operation.
Deteriorated parts have been replaced with new ones where necessary, and the unit has been adjusted for practical use.
🟣 Vacuum Tube Testing
It allows for analog-style tube testing and enables comparative measurements by using the appropriate settings and sockets.
Certain Russian-made tubes can also be tested, provided their specifications and settings are compatible.
🟡 Step-up Adapter
While it operates on standard Japanese 100V power, the heater voltage characteristics may result in slightly conservative readings.
A small step-up adapter is included as a bonus to provide more optimal operating voltage.
The adapter is not covered by the warranty.
Please unplug it from the outlet when not in use.
🟢 Case Refurbishment
The wooden case has been repainted in a matching gray tone.
This was done by hand—rather than via a professional factory finish—to improve usability while preserving the unit's vintage character.
