In this video, we'll repair and test a late 1950s vintage piece of electronics test equipment. This is an Eico 950B. It tests electrolytic capacitors, mica, poly, or paper "signal" capacitors, and it also tests resistors, and will allow comparisons via a bridge circuit between two components with the use of a Magic Eye tube. We'll recap it and test all the resistors for drift and then we'll discuss in depth how it works, and test some vintage capacitors to see how well various vintage cap types have held up.
