I like just about anything old. Vehicles, hand tools, machinist tools, woodworking tools, guns, etc etc. Through the years I've accumulated a small sampling of each of these categories. I've got a couple of old electrical tools, most I found in the drawers at work long forgotten, plus an old simpson 260 I rescued from the nasty, moldy basement of an old autoshop the city bought for storage. Still want to see if I can get it to work, but the batteries had leaked really bad so going to take some rebuilding. I don't have anything really cool or even all that old. I know somebody out there has to have some really cool old meters and testers. So post those pictures of those old volt-ohm meters, amp clamps, meggers, O-scopes, or any other cool electrical equipment. Bonus points for cloth wire, vacuum tubes or anything in a wooden box.

An old retired electrician in the neighborhood gave these to my boss, he was showing us this morning.
Love the old drill.

I didn't know you could even buy those crimps and tophats anymore.. Haven't seen that stuff used since late 70s construction around here.
Do you pretwist? The last house I bought they were not twisted, aluminum wire though and several splices had started to burn..
