What is this thing? Dong Shin Q-test-2000B

[FPALB]

Found this at a thrift shop and had to buy because it looks awesome.


Now….can anybody tell me what the heck it’s supposed to do?

It has a pad on the front labled “sensor” and a small speaker on the side as well as some sort of 1/8th Jack.

Time Bandits! One of my all time top ten fave movies.
And the thing looks like a test set for...I dunno, a synth maybe?

'Q' could stand for transistors, but there's no socket. Could also stand for circuit resonance; testing inductors?

We have a winner. Two, actually.

“Hello
The product you inquired about is Quartz Movement breakdown diagnosis and battery level tester.
The instruction manual is enclosed in the product, and the manual that can be provided separately is
It's difficult to provide other things because the manufacturer doesn't supply.

I'm sorry I couldn't help you
Thank you” https://m.watchexpert.co.kr/article/문의게시판/6/310/

It’s a quartz watch tester.
It’s a battery level tester.

It’s two, two testers in one!

That thing does look awesome. Stick some randomly flashing LEDs on there and they won’t let you on a plane.
