The General Radio 783-A is an Output-Power Meter introduced in Catalog K2 (1942) that 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.
