David, I have all the manuals for our old equipment and a 1927 inventory
list with prices for our department.  The equipment is not worth much as
far as usability.  All I can say is that the stuff I cleaned up for our
display case looks damn good and I wish they still built things the way
they used to.  Mahogany cases and brass knobs... just beautiful!!  BTW,
use Armor All on the bakelite to make it shine, but clean it with a
gentile detergent like diluted Mr Clean first.  Focus on elbow grease and
not too much cleaner.

If you give me the specifics, I might be able to give you the original
prices.  I have tons of Leeds Northrup test equipment manuals too.  Most
of them date to the early 30's to mid 50's.  I also have some old Cenco
manuals too.  Tell me what you got and tell you if I have the info.
