Perfect for collectors of classic test & measurement gear, industrial artifacts, steampunk displays, analog instrumentation enthusiasts, electrical engineers, and vintage engineering memorabilia.
This is a fully intact portable graphic strip chart recorder set from Esterline Angus — exactly as used on major projects, complete with matching custom voltage input panel and original leather carrying case.
**What’s Included (Everything Shown — 100% Complete Package):**
• Esterline Angus main graphic recorder (glass-front unit with original chart paper roll still loaded — time & scale markings visible)
• Custom black input/range selector panel — labeled “USE WITH 1 MA RECORDER” with green terminals for 150V, 300V, 600V, 900V, 1200V, COMMON, A.C. INPUT, TO METER
• Heavy-duty original leather carrying case (latches, handle, shoulder strap, felt interior, “KEEP UPRIGHT!” sticker intact)
• Full set of original cables/leads with taper plugs
• Bechtel Corporation asset plate #101712 (real engineering-firm history!)
**Condition:**
Excellent vintage cosmetic condition for its age. Leather shows honest patina and one common handle crack (still fully functional). Recorder and panel are clean and complete — mechanism, pen arm, and chart drive appear intact (light service may be needed; untested as-is). Chart paper is original and salvageable. No missing parts.
**Why This Set is Special:**
Mid-century Esterline Angus graphic recorders (Model AW style) were industrial workhorses for recording voltage/current over time in labs, power plants, and field work. This Bechtel-tagged example has real provenance from one of the world’s largest engineering firms. Far rarer than single units — a complete, ready-to-display or restore kit that almost never surfaces intact.
Ideal for:
- Vintage test equipment collectors
- Industrial / analog instrumentation displays
- Steampunk or retro tech setups
- Restoration projects or functional use by enthusiasts
Shipping from Northern California. Carefully packed & insured (US only unless arranged). Local pickup welcome.
