That's pretty cool! Too bad it has a big-ass spider in the box. Big Grin I wish the seller would have stated the item's purpose other than "machine tester."

A quick google search showed an old auction description from a different auction---

quote:
STILL IN THE ORIGINAL BOX IS THIS VINTAGE 1960s CONION MT-1 TRANSISTORIZED MACHINE MOTOR AUDIBLE TESTER. GREAT FIND AT AN ESTATE SALE, THIS ITEM IS USED FOR LISTENING TO A MOTOR OR MACHINE WORKING PARTS TO DISCOVER PROBLEMS. SUCH AS GRINDING VALVES AND LUBRICATIONS NEEDED. THIS HAS THE ORIGINAL BOX AND PAPERWORK, USES A 9 VOLT BATTERY AND APPEARS TO NEVER HAVE BEEN USED.

Thanks, Joel! It's more than likely the exact same item as listed in the old auction - meaning the current seller was the "then" buyer.
