About the Item

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE: This Antique May Qualify For Our GALLERY WIDE ~EXTRA~ 10-20% OFF SALE, Going On NOW. Please Inquire. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Submitted for your approval, this mid-20th century television cable test panel survives in excellent condition. It has a variety of vintage TV connections and plugs, various colorful dials and various warning lights in place to verify multi conductor TV cables back in the day of early TV program production. The indicator lights can most likely be made to work by connecting correct power and polarity to the unit. We cannot guaranty electrical performance at this price. This artifact will make a superb wall hanging or table top display with or without power connected to it. Enclosed in a metal shipping case at no extra charge. Few of these exist and we believe we have the last one, for sale, in the world. ~Like artifacts of an ancient civilization - these rare legends of early Motion Picture and related production equipment technology - have a secure and appreciating place in history.~ NOTE: Our selling prices are usually pre discounted and intended to be at 'Designer Net' and 'To The Trade' price levels.

NOTE: Due to the nature of online photo reproduction we cannot be responsible for exact photographic color, hue, contrast and flash and non flash exposure accuracy in our photos. While we do our best to display photos that are as accurate as possible, our photos may or may not depict the absolute EXACT hue or color tone of our antiques due to the many variables in image photography, image exporting, image uploading and viewer monitor accuracy. Please ask about color tone and hue BEFORE buying, if this is a concern!

We suggest that these artifacts be used for display and not be operated. Please ask for more details on operability of our electrical and mechanical antiques if operability is a concern. We are ALWAYS here to help and offer many options for the proper presentation of your Cinema Antiques. Thank You.
