    Description

    Please have a look at all of my current listings.  They are part of my 50 plus years of collecting to be listed (as time permits) over the coming weeks and months.  My collection includes Antique items such as Scientific Instruments, Radios, Bottles, Barometers, Surveying Instruments, Prohibition (and Pre-Prohibition) Whiskey, Art, Books, etc.  I have fully packed storage boxes full of wonderful things that need to see the light of day once more.  I simply do not have the room anymore (just ask my wife).  It is really hard to part with my "treasures" but I find comfort knowing that they will be cared for by the new owners.  Let me know if you have any specific needs and I will try to list them.  ENJOY!!!
    As quack shock sets go this one is really well made.  The unit is complete and seems to be in close to unused condition (other than when I just tried it).  I applied a 6 volts to the battery contacts and the thing shocked me such that I dropped the wand (make a note to run on 3 volts).  I had it set to 10 on the scale of 100 and thought it would just give me a tingle.  I have never been accused of being the sharpest knife in the drawer.  The original Ever-Ready No. 290 (British made) cardboard battery contacts have not been exposed.
    Therefore the battery never fired up the coil.
    The bottom wood panel slides out (see photos) to expose the battery.  Seems totally complete as all holes, slots and thread mounts are full.  The navy blue velvet lid liner and coil cover are in wonderful condition.  The primary coil slides nicely and the chrome indicator plate on top of the coil is about perfect.  The leather covered wand attachments are in near perfect condition too.  Nice sturdy
    mahogany
    case with name plate under the handle.  Thumb turn lock on case is working.  Case measures roughly 6.5" wide by 5.25" tall by 4.5" deep.  Just in beautiful condition and ready to display or shock.
    Sold as is.  Return only if not as described and shown in photos.  No Overseas/International shipping at this time.  I am still fully employed and overseas shipping consumes too much time and can create issues.  Shipping quote for lower 48 states only as others will be more.  Many Thanks.
