Knight KG-670 R/C tester restoration attempt
#1

Moving on to the next subject. I have a Knight Capacitor tester that I want to restore and calibrate. I started the project a couple of years ago, but it went into the box when the "Remodel" project started. I have found some instructions on the internet about calibrating these. Seems I got stalled out trying to get a precision 2mf reference cap. Sure stinks when you have to stop in the middle of a project like this, then try to resume a couple of years later Icon_e_confused
I have had this tester from a youth. My bad was drilling the front panel for a power switch! I may just put in a pilot lamp instead.
   

My uncle built this in 1964, and I have all the original books. He played a hand in sparking my interest in electronics with his books and test equipment. I restored a Knight KG-690 signal tracer, also built by my uncle, right before the madness of our remodel started.

   
Neat thing, this has been in the family since new.

If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything" Icon_confused
