Boonton Radio Corporation Page
Back to Antique Test Equipment Page
Boonton Radio Corporation was one of the most prestigious manufacturers
of test equipment during the vacuum-tube era. It rivaled Hewlet-Packard
in the care and precision of the designs. Unlike HP, Boonton sorta missed
the solid-state revolution. Today, it is relatively difficult to obtain
test equipment that works as well as the devices from Boonton. For a dip
meter, one is better off to get a classic Model 59 Grid Dip Oscillator and
find replacement tubes for it. Nothing matches the calibration accuracy and
the signal strength of these classic units.
