September 1942 Radio Retailing Today

Radio Retailing Today, September 1942 Cover - RF Cafe[Table of Contents]

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio & Television News, published 1919-1959. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

Triplett is a well-know name amongst electronics technicians and engineers who have been in the business for any length of time. Triplett meter movements (aka panel meters) were considered to be top-of-the-line product in the days before digital meters and displays. They were used in industrial instrumentation, in military equipment, and in amateur radio gear. Triplett is still in business today but it appears they no longer sell just meter movements, although there is a large supply (new and used) available on eBay and Ham radio websites and swap meets. This advertisement for Triplett Thin-Line Instruments appeared in the September 1942 edition of Radio Retailing Today magazine.
