Hickok Cardmatic Tube Tester Master Card Set (~1,925 Cards) w/ Steel Tray This comes from a military version of the Hickok 123A (USM-118) which was in a huge case. The steel tray is likely the best way we can ship it and could be mounted in a home-made wooden case. Caution, the edges of the metal tray are sharp. The Set: Includes APPROXIMATELY 1,925 (+ or - 100) vinyl/plastic punch cards. Based on the volume, this appears to be a complete or near-complete Domestic Master Set, covering the vast majority of standard vacuum tubes. Condition: Cards are stored in their original heavy-duty steel filing drawer (approx 12.5" x 14.5"). The cards are clean and bowed. They are fairly well-organized and are in numerical order from front to back and left to right. Some may be out of order and there may be some missing, but I feel they are mostly there. Specs: These are the correct 0.5mm thick Mylar/Vinyl cards required for the Cardmatic switches, not paper punch cards. Includes: Steel filing tray with internal divider on one row, a short stack of un-punched paper cards, An original plastic flag card for placing when you remove card(s) for use. Total Length of Cards stacks: 12" + 12" + 11" + 3.5" = 38.5 inches Cards Per Inch: ~50 cards (based on 0.5mm thickness) Total Count: 38.5 inches × 50 = 1,925 cards
This is a comprehensive Master Card library for the Hickok Cardmatic series of tube testers (Models 121, 123A, 123R, USM-118).
Please don't hold us responsible for accuracy on the number of cards. This is how we performed the count calculation.
Previously used condition from a working tube tester. Cards are pretty clean, except the top edge that was likely touched by many dirty hands over the years. I would say most, if not all cards are Hickok branded cards. I only remember a few that were not Hickok branded.
