Instrument is a Geonics EM16 VLF receiver, using in the mineral exploration industry to find buried linear conductors.
The instrument is fully analogue, designed in the late 70s. The serial number on the device implies it was manufactured in 87. I contacted the manufacturer and the last person who could service it has long since retired, but they sent me the calibration and tuning documents so I might be able to revive this beauty.

That's actually awesome they sent you anything useful at all.
