  1. STAGE III

    STAGE III Lost Experimental 455-4 Bolt Main Block.

    So you totally don't know what this is OR immediately recognize it from a time long gone. Leave it to me to save a battery that was old when I found it decades ago ha ha
    Our local "Bad Lad" probably teethed on one of these!
    Either way I hope all are having a nice forth and also honoring the memory of those who kept our country and all within it safe & strong.
    We are indepted

    From some antique quality testing equipment I saved it from as a boy.probably a PH tester or a radio lab we cleared out long ago. We have one tester ONE serial number higher than the one in the Smithsonian ,guy who calibrated it said it was a pleasure to work on (from 1800's) he said it worked better than any one he had ever serviced . When workers had PRIDE and weren't disposable

    I remember the 90V "B" batterys that were used in the great old Zenith Wavemagnet portable radios. They were about the size of a small suitcase and when the cover was in place, looked like one. In 1957 I was at a summah camp in Maine, and our cabin counselor used one to get campers who were slow to arise in the morning out of bed. You only needed to get zapped once before you arose when the alarm went off. The counselor was the alarm. I'm guessing that the 67 1/2 volt battery depicted would do the job as well.
