Vintage gates radio mo-2890 tube frequency monitor
This vintage boat anchor from the glory days of Gates is looking for a collector's home! Type MO2890 is marked as running at 1370 kHz (KC). Has deviation meter low/high in cps, also a small Weston supervisory meter, and mercury (?) thermometer. The beast was sitting in storage for many years, though it's reasonably clean on the exterior. The interior could probably be hit with the vacuum or compressed air.
The old (1940s?) Gates logo plate is loose and will be secured with tape. Tubes and fuses appear to be intact. Knobs seem original to my knowledge.
I did not risk powering up - item could have been sitting for decades. Take a look at the pictures for details. Some stickers and labels may be intact on rear and front panel. Appears complete.
