TEL-A-TURN - Rogers Manufacturing
May 1959 Electronics World

May 1959 Electronics World

May 1959 Electronics World Cover - RF Cafe Table of Contents 

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Electronics World, published May 1959 - December 1971. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

This TEL-A-TURN fixture by Rogers Manufacturing was mentioned in the "Mac's Service Shop - A Good Turn" story in the October 1959 issue of Electronics World magazine. A quick search of other issues of Electronics World in the same timeframe turned up this advertisement. It is easy to see why such a fixture would be a welcome addition to the television and radio service shop. Those vacuum tube sets could be really heavy and unwieldy, which put both the electronics and the service man at risk of damage. I'd like to have one here at home for use in the shop area.
