DescriptionThis tube tester encompasses a rectangular, suitcase form and includes two metal hinges on the backside, while a metal latch sits in the middle, adjacent to the curved handle in the front. Upon opening the device, what appears to be two central cords are attached to the top segment of the tester, which also appear to be lined with a protective material for further durability. The latter half of the device showcases several circular ports on the upper left corner, while an eight-sided meter with a white face and various arcs and multiple, overlapping numerical labels sits beside it. The bottom of the meter reads "Lifetime / Red Dot / Guarantee." The right side showcases a booklet, opening vertically and secured with six metal rings in the center, containing technical information. More small, circular ports sit close to the bottom portion, followed by four knobs surrounded by pale yellow labelling throughout.On View
