This Island Earth.

Dr. Cal Meacham is sent an unusual substitute for electronic condensers that he ordered. He receives instructions and parts to build a complex communication device called an interocitor. When they finish, a mysterious man named Exeter appears on the device's screen and tells him he has passed the test.
