    Description

    For sale is a vintage James G. Biddle Co., Plymouth Meeting, PA, "JAGABI" Carbon Stack Rheostat, left behind in the electronics "collection" of my late father.   My dad was an active and avid HAM radio operator for 73 years, was an Army Signal Corps Radio School instructor during the War, and was a radio and other electronics serviceman for most of his life.   He
    loved
    radio and electronics!!
    Besides leaving behind his lifetime accumulation of electronics, he left a daughter who knows very little about electronics.   But, with the internet help, I'm learning!!
    Actually, he must have loved this piece of equipment, because this will be the 4th one of this model that I am selling.   (Or, he may have buried it under his other "treasures," and got another ones.)   Anyway, I have had good feedback from the buyers of the others, and in fact delightful notes about how they are being used.   So, I'm assuming this one is good, as well.   I turned the handle, only slightly, and it moves, but that is the most testing that I have done.   I am selling it as is, as photographed, and untested.
    I hope you are thinking of the perfect use for this rheostat, even if it is just for showing your grandkids a few things about current and resistance!   I promise to pack it well, to keep any of the carbons or insulation strips from breaking!
    Thanks for looking here!!
