Have you been looking for a Zenith Radio Nurse, a Superior Speedometer Multitester, or maybe a Clough Brengle 3" Oscilloscope? Perhaps you happen to have a wireless phono oscillator, a Weston 722 radio, or a Dumont 3" model 164E oscilloscope for sale. In either case, the Sprague Trading Post would have been the place to go in the mid 1940s, when the company paid good money in Radio-Craft magazine to host a swap shop for electronics hobbyists and professionals. Vacuum tubes, radios, test equipment, and related items were offered and requested. Sprague was/is a major manufacturer of capacitors, so they probably figured some of the equipment would need replacement capacitors which traders would buy from them out of appreciation for the venue. Nowadays, we just go to eBay.
