The General Radio 783-A is an Output-Power Meter introduced in 1944 Catalog K3. It remained available through Catalog Q 1961.

The 783-A is acts as an adjustable load impedance, with a voltmeter calibrated directly in watts dissipated in the load. It can safely handle 100 W at audio frequencies.

It can be used to test amplifiers, transformers, oscillators, filters, and similar networks.

CAUTION: This device contains asbestos.
