Joseph weidenhoff, 17-T-5575-50 circuit tester

[Mooboo]

Hi men "
I just found " brought this wonderfull circuit tester, I am looking for
Imformation, pictures etc of the contents, ie leads accessorys etc that
were originally included in the box, the tester is working (so I was told)
I all so have acquired the plug in test equipment that goes in the engine
bay on to generator leads, regulator etc, I can't work out how to post
Pictures with my topic but have managed to load them in my album so
if any one has time please take a look , the circuit tester is the 17-T-5575-50
Joseph weidenhoff inc, I presume this is the second version as I can find
the 17-T-5575 which only has one volt gauge on the face of it , mine has 2
amps & volts , thanks, hope some on has some imformation

Hello Murray, I took the liberty of adding your photos to your post.

Folks, Murray sent me a private info request via our web site administration email address with this question. To get all on the same page here is the contents of our discussion:

Murray's question:

[Mooboo]

Thank you wes " what would we do " how would we manage with out
chaps like you , a bit like that mobile phone " can we ' or can't we be with out
that phone " I can , but the internet , that's a tough one , I have received new
leads hopefully at wk end I will see if I can adapt them to the set ,it looks
Promising but still like some info on the manuel I looked on the nett can't find very much at all , all I found was the set I brought and a court case against
the U S government (military) about when Joseph weidenhoff inc,
got the contract to make test equipment (some body had there nose put out
of joint) when they lost it to him or something on those lines , plenty
of info pictures of the the older version but not much at all on the
17-T-5575-50 or though on your info pages it's illustrated quite well , the tester and how to use with the test adapters, but I still cauld do with some
pics of the compleat set just to get a idea on the leads etc

Hi thanks for that ,I had all ready screen shot that a few days ago of wes album , but other than that there is not a lot on this one ,I have saved
That now on PDFs (stored in my books ) it does give a resonable description
on how to use , perform the most needed test , so yeah thanks again My jeep isent going to be factory standard " as I think and be leave that it can only
be New once" so I have gone for the best N.O.S. parts that I can find and
just gone how it would of been done in service 24 volt , correct parts it's cost a small fortune but still gone over the top to
Good on things like body , painting , etc etc but I want it to last a nother
70 odd years it's the only way , I will allso use him on the farm going to
check stock etc pulling the log trailer when we go logging but treat with a
lot of respect " murray.
