I picked up a few goodies, like a little netbook ( got a question about that in another thread ), and these 3 Marconi test instruments. Two look like receivers and ones a signal generator, I think. Story is, these were used a props in a Batman bat cave show at Movie World on the Gold Coast. This was torn down years ago the these were picked up. I got all 3 for $20 the lot. They have been painted black so its hard to read the panels. Many of the transformers  and valves have been ripped out. There isnt enough to make a good one out of the two identical units. So after suggestions as to what to do with them. I'm tempted to tear them down and put the components in my parts bins. I collect old valve era parts. But I want to make sure they have no value as is before I pull them apart. If anyone know's of these units and can suggest a more fitting end, let me know.
