That immediately reminds me of my dads 1957 silvertone somethin or other ( looks like a les paul) :13:

Very cool; probably still one of the most accurate tuners you can buy.

Really makes you appreciate how far technology has come. My tuner now weighs about 10 grams, clips on to the headstock, and cost about 10$.

It is extremely accurate, but a PITA as it has to be calibrated every day. He bought it for his custom build and repair business to get the set ups as accurate as possible.

Just knowing how to use that thing got me some cool guitar tech gigs in my youth.
