Description
You are bidding on an EXCELLENT and VERY RARE example of a WW2 Imperial Japanese Navy Electrical Voltmeter!This was used in various radio set-ups and testing units (both in the air and on the ground), but also on the MAIN engine electrical control panels of various ships and submarines!This testing unit indicated the current voltage of the electrical system. It was also installed on the main electrical panel of various Ships and Submarine.Made of brass, steel, plastic, and aluminum, this item is of mid-war manufacture.Dated December 1942, it was brought back by a US Serviceman. Absolutely MASSIVE in size, compared to other Voltmeters, it has a diameter of over 5β³, which is about the same size as a Japanese Bulkhead Clock. As it is in used condition, it does feature various marks, scratches, and wear.I have not tested it for functionality, so I am selling this set as-is.Lots of Japanese writing and markings, including the Navy Anchor! Removed from a ship or submarine byUS Navy Intelligence for testing and evaluation, it features an, 'EEIS' (Enemy Equipment Intelligence Service) number hand-painted on to the side of the casing.I have shown nearly identical instruments installed on the engine electrical panel of the Midget Submarine in the last image.Would make a VERY NICE addition to any Japanese Instrument Collection!
