I got it with a PW Hudson. I was told it was bought for the set new, and pulled on a 4x8 till the 70s. Its worked for me fine for about ten years, except once it did do this same thing when left plugged in for a day or two, then began working again about a week later. But this time, I'm not suspecting a fluke bad connection due to carbon on spring loaded terminals. The Jefferson Midget is a good quality piece of equipment. Despite the failure, nothing about the internal safety makes me cringe. Its a solid little brick that was used to death, but was made to be abused. I'd use another anytime. Thinking back, I think I did bounce it off the floor a week or two ago. I checked saw lights, moved on. Oh well, nothing is forever, lol.
Older then dirt, maybe not. From what I could find 30s or 40s. Either way that's when they built things to last. Just like the converted TV ( as long as you could find parts )of course we no longer use hamsters on on a wheel to make power.
