The item is not mine and I have no association with the seller. Although I would like the visit Tasmania one day as I heard they have really good fishing spots.

Wow, something pro-audio related that's actually quite interesting for sale in Tas, that's a first.

Apparently yes the fishing is quite good, though if you're fishing for gear I'd say not.


Now, wonder what happened to the rest of this AWA?

Looks similar to the one on this site, from the gear used by the ABC in the 50's - http://www.abctvgorehill.com.au/

Hi guys,

first up is a loveley little voltmeter type 3R1772
it says neutralising and voltmeter and has a loop on test leads
it has a common pole and 6v ,12v pole
havnt tested yet needs one wire resoldered

Hi Geoff, welcome.

I recently had my big 1A modded by Rob so the answer would be yes on that.

Pics will help to identify the gear you came across. :)

FWIW, a couple of years ago I bought a beautiful vintage U77 and a D12 from a guy in Hobart.
U77 is an early Neumann U87 and quite rare to find.
