Vintage General Electric Oven Temperature Tester (Model WB80X28)**
Up for sale is a beautiful, highly collectible mid-century General Electric Oven Temperature Tester (Cat No. 8941378G5), complete in its original protective carrying case. This was a classic industrial tool used by appliance technicians in the 1940s and 1950s to calibrate home stoves. Based on the documentation printing stamp, this unit dates to around April 1955.
**Condition & Testing Details:**
* **TESTED & WORKING:** The internal thermocouple circuit has been verified using a controlled heat source. The analog gauge needle moves smoothly and fluidly up the scale when heat is applied, and returns naturally back down to room temperature when cooling.
* **Cosmetics:** Excellent vintage condition. The glass gauge face is clean and clear. The original step-by-step instruction sheet pasted inside the lid remains entirely intact and perfectly readable.
* **Self-Powered:** This tool operates entirely via thermocouple millivolts generated by heat—it requires NO batteries, power cords, or external electricity to operate.
**Includes:**
* Vintage GE Tester gauge unit
* Original leatherette carrying case
* Original heavy-duty insulated probe wire with the metal "Thermoshield" rack clamp
An incredible piece of industrial history perfect for vintage tool collectors, retro display shelves, or appliance restoration enthusiasts!
Ships carefully packed to protect the analog gauge. Please review all photos for exact cosmetic condition.
