Nice find! Im always interested in vacuum tubes and any associated items. That Heathkit tube tester looks pretty clean and it has all the accessories so I would assume that the assembly could be just a good. Any chance you picked up that box of tubes as well??
I am into mine for $50... the cart is a bit worn and beaten, but other than the insulation falling off all of the wiring, she doesn't seem beyond hope. I passed on the $5000 new/almost perfect one... I don't intend to do a full restore, just a functional one. I won't plug it in until I feel safe that I wont hurt it.
I also have an adapter the prior owner claimed was worth $$ for model T's... I've not looked into it myself.

We had a Sun distributor machine from the 50's at the shop, the boss sold it a few years ago, good thing because it would have burnt with everything else 3yrs ago.
The flathead ford adapter, sells around 2-300 on e bay, I sold one for 225. The wiring is pretty easy to do one wire at a time biggest issues are the power supply and if the flash tube is good or not they can get expensive fast, there is a nos one on flea bay right now 600, and I have yet to see a used one.
