In the early 1960’s, Sencore delivered the innovative “Mighty Mite” line which was a series of portable CRT tube testers that offered electronic technicians the speed, reliability, and operating simplicity not available in any other instrument. Some unique features of the Mighty Mite were gas/grid emission tests, lower voltage checks, indexed setup cards to reduce “look up” time, and a simplified panel layout.

The “Continental” was a top of the line transconductance tester which tested both foreign and domestic tubes. The Continental was a revolutionary tube tester in that it offered a regulated power supply, a balanced-bridge amplifier protecting the meter, and a 100Meg leakage test which was by far the most sensitive at the time! |
