Any ideas? TSUBOSAKA ELECTRIC CAMERA SHUTTER TESTER, The model # T-1776 Type 7F-7L3. I could find much in a google search. I found Tsubosaka home page but this model is not listed anymore and they don't list prices. The unit is tested and marked as good shape and working properly.

"Worth" depends a lot upon wheter one is a buyer, seller, or user. It sounds like you are in a buying situation. I'd low-ball at $50 and see how it goes from there.

I would give $50 for it , I would be nic eto have the more compact modern unit but it would be worth that to me.

Well I bought it and now have no idea how to use it. No instructions. maybe if I knew what the abbrev's on the dial meant I could figure it out.

Any help Please, I am fairly new to camera repair, but having a great time with what I have done. Of course I have no idea if any of my repairs are accurate.

I'm unable to see the picture but from the first picture, I'd guess the three LED readouts are for the shutter speeds on a focal plane shutter. One would be the leading edge speed, one for middle and one for closing edge. On a good shutter the leading edge should nearly match the closing edge. This is called balance or side to side exposure. You should get 1 mili second at 1/1000 sec exposure, 2mS at 1/500 ect. 1 second exposure should be 1000mS, 1/2 sec exposure should be 500mS ect. Experament with the different settings and see what you get. If I could see a picture of the switch I may be able to tell you more.
