There is a croatian guy dissassembling loads of equipment. Pics and explanations are to be found in a blog. Go to the menu, scroll down until you find some flags. Tick the one which suits most and wait for the understanable language.

Great thing! Have half of it in my office as a decoration. And a Master Motor Tester in 1950's red.

Europe, Germany

Unfortunally too much water inbetween.

Assuming there was a relation between above survey and above red cabinet. This cabinet was sprayed in the same blue like all other cabinets up to the 1970s, when it left the factory. Some artist later changed it into red. It is the pre 1960's cabinet.

Got hold of this 1120 Back in 2024. Missing parts, just moved it into storage. Last night found some units in craigslist in twenty minute driving distance. Onehunderedfifty were asked, offered onehundred. Reply ten minutes later: ok, let's do that. Transferred it into my trunk this morning...

Seen this today. In fact it is a photo of a poster and therefore the copyright of the photo ist with me.... But had to share...

Apologies! The newest gas analyzers I have are EPA-70 and EPA-75.
