- How did you find PF?
- Was looking for resources for mechanical design and stumbled upon this
I'm a hobby tinker and I love learning the older methods of trades
What are some examples of vintage electrical and measuring tools?

In summary, vintage electrical and measuring tools include items such as analog multimeters, galvanometers, oscilloscopes, and tube testers. These tools were commonly used in the early to mid-20th century before the widespread use of digital technology. Other examples include voltmeters, ammeters, and watt meters, which were used for measuring voltage, current, and power respectively. In addition, vintage electrical tools also include items such as antique electrical switches, outlet testers, and circuit breakers. These tools provide a glimpse into the history and development of electricity and measurement techniques.
