A vintage Windsor Universal Meter, Model 88A, presented in a hinged, lacquered wooden carrying case with brass-toned metal hardware. The instrument is accompanied by red and black coiled test leads. The meter itself features a dark, likely bakelite or phenolic, front panel with an analog dial displaying scales for DC Volts & Amps, AC Volts & Amps, Ohms, and Decibels. Key visible markings include "WINDSOR UNIVERSAL METER MODEL 88A, " "20,000 OHMS PER VOLT D.C., " "2,000 OHMS PER VOLT A.C., " and "VIDOR VOQII DRY CELL" on a battery compartment cover. A serial number "318320" is located above the main dial. Multiple black plastic selector knobs are present for "ADJUST OHMS, " "RANGE" (with various voltage, current, and resistance settings), and function selection (DC V/mA, R, AC V/mA). Labeled input terminals include "COMMON, " "10A.D.C., " "5000V.D.C., " "OUTPUT, " and "TEST +". The overall aesthetic is consistent with a mid-20th-century electronic testing instrument.
