December 1939 and January 1940 Radio News

December 1939 Radio News [Table of Contents] Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio & Television News, published 1919-1959. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

As of the year 2020 there was an estimated 7.8 billion people in the world. Most of them, thanks to the technology invented and provided by capitalist societies, have some form of Internet access. A large fraction of them have paid nothing for it (while hating those who provided it) - I'm just sayin'. Out of those 7.8B people, surely a handful have already or will in the future search the World Wide Web (WWW) in pursuit of information on vintage test equipment, either as fodder for some publication, for reference in obtaining particular models or for service data. In the interest of those folks, I go to the trouble of scanning and posting content like this test equipment advertisement by Superior Instruments (aka SICO). It appeared in a 1939 issue of Radio News magazine. You're welcome.

Here is a page with an incredibly well-preserved TV11 Tube Tester. Here is a Model 1240 Tube Tester, as seen in the ad.
