Some of you may recall that I inherited this guy from a previous employer when they cleaned out the warehouse in preparation for a move:

I finally determined exactly what it is (a test set for locating wiring faults, and also a general Wheatstone bridge/galvanometer type thing) and amazingly have located someone who's scanned the instruction card and booklet. So if I can manage a few minor repairs to it, it should be functional again.
I've found that it can also be used as a resistance box, but the resistors that make up the variable resistance section, while physically large, are only rated at 1/2W. Is that enough to test fuel and temp gauges on the bench, or is that asking for trouble? I do have a 12V power supply...
