sorry I don't really see your point. I bought my Tradipper in 67, and
it has been very useful since then, I may not use it so often now
because I've also got a Philips GM3121.
Mine operatet satisfactorily - as original - up to 140MHz, but the 2M
coil is no coil at all, only a short between to pins on the connector.

Maybe you have a different model. Mine purports to cover up to 360Mhz,
but there is *no way* AFAICS that the thing would be capable of
anything remotely close to that upper range limit, on cursory
inspection of the internals. I'm glad I went for the wholesale
re-build but still find it hopelessly impractical to use on minature,
in-circuit components.
