Circuit Trainer Appraisal

Elenco Analog/Digital Trainer Kit (Model XK-700)

This item is an Elenco Analog/Digital Trainer, model number XK-700, presented within a durable, presumably aluminum or alloy, briefcase-style carrying case with a plastic handle. The case features a silver metallic finish with reinforced black corners, indicating robust construction for portability and protection. The interior of the case is organized to securely hold the training unit, a digital multimeter, and various accessories. The main training unit, visible in black, features a breadboard for circuit prototyping, along with integrated components such as logic indicators, data switches, and a regulated power supply. Connecting wires, predominantly green and yellow, are visible plugged into the breadboard, suggesting an active or recently used setup. The unit's controls consist of various black rotary knobs and switches, including a prominent red toggle switch for power. The Elenco logo and model number are clearly visible on the front panel. A notable, somewhat personalizing, feature is a fish symbol (ichthys) decal affixed near the power supply section. Accompanying the main trainer are a basic digital multimeter in black with a grey dial and an LCD screen, and a blue transparent plastic organizer box containing what appear to be small electronic components or more connecting wires. Red and black test leads for the multimeter are also present. The overall condition appears to be good, with no obvious signs of major damage or excessive wear, although some minor scuffs might be expected from use. The components appear clean, and the organization within the case suggests careful handling. This type of kit is typically used for educational purposes in electronics, likely dating from the late 20th to early 21st century, given the design and visible components.
