There was probably a test procedure for it but without that or some
TV sets to use it on he's right, more or less. It's only good for TV
work and who fixes TVs? If you are a tube TV collector tinkerer, my
advice, buy it cheap. If you need it you can probably figure it out.


As I recall, this is a device that does dynamic characteristic curves
in-circuit.

As such, it's not useful for anything unless you have a nominal set of
curves available. The manual has curves of a bunch of old TV sets, which
is basically not very useful today.

BUT, if you are maintaining dozens of the same piece of equipment, the
dynasweep can still be useful. You take nominal measurements on a known
good piece of equipment and then compare with the bad one.

It also could be a useful production line test device, though of course
in the modern ATE era there are faster ways of doing that.
