Clearing late fathers old gear - not sure what this is...

[sm27650]

Hi All, I'm still clearing the last of my late fathers (G8MKT) amateur radio kit and have come across this and not sure what it is. 

He had a lot of Clansman/Larkspur kit which I've sold on, I think this could be semi-related, but would appreciate any thoughts/directions people could give.

Thanks, 

Steve

I'm not up on Larkspur but that looks like a Larkspur test set of some kind.

The give-away is the Vocab Ref Section 10S - Radio transmitter test equipment so this is RAF 10S/16775 & painted black rather than green.

The other clue is the frequency 145 Mc/s so probably amplitude modulation & Test B - Transmitter modulation depth

Of some age as Mc/s rather than MHz & no NATO codification.

It's a field test set for the TR1986 family of aircraft transmitter / receivers. Used to check the serviceability of the set.

Thanks Folks. The important question - is it worth anything it likely to be skip fodder?

From a technical point of view it's way out of date but it's always going to be of value to someone!  Even if only for parting out for components (valves always useful) although that would be a shame. 
Putting it on eBay at a low start price always better than chucking it into a skip and you might get a surprise at what it fetches and it willl end up with someone who values it.

They did get re-codified with a Nato stock number - 6625-99-469-9206, titled Tester, Performance.
