Lab clearout

[fcb]

Have a sort out at the lab, listing some stuff here before I put it on eBay.  DM for pix/prices/make offers/details.

HP
1x 54645D (2+16 MSO)- with logic leads and clips, RS232 module but no 'scope probes (this is my spare 54645D!)
1x 5371A (frequency & time interval analyser) - with 2x54002A
1x 53310A (modulation domain analyser) SOLD
1x 3561A (dynamic signal analyser) SOLD
1x 6632B (psu) - only for spares
1x 8753C (vna) - powers up, best for spares, one N-type is bent etc.. SOLD
1x 5006A (signature analyser)

Fluke
2x 5200A (AC calibrator) - one works well, the other needs a little finessing. SOLD
1x 5215A (precision power amp) - never powered up, this scares me. SOLD
prefer these to go together

Datron
1x 1065 - spares/repairs SOLD

Voltech
1x PM1000 (single phase power analyser)
1x PM100 (single phase power analyser)
1x PM300 (single phase power analyser)
1x IEC555 (IEC standard 555 network)

W&G (Wandel & Golterman)
1x SPM11 / SPMZ-110 - works, not cosmetically perfect

Phillips
1x PM5193 (synth/FG) - including manuals!

Schaffner
1x NSG200E+NSG222A
1x NSG200E+NSG225
1x NSG203A
1x NSG224A
1x NSG505
1x NSG522 (used with NSG505, includes 2x LEMO HV leads)
- lots original manuals for the Schaffner stuff, would have to sort through.

Schlumberger
1x SM7050 (reference standard meter) - one for the volt nuts, powers up etc.. but not looked into it further

Most of these items are heavy to very heavy. The Flukes are seriously heavy (collect or can palletise)!
All gear is 240VAC.

Hi

Where in the UK are you, may be interested in the Fluke ac calibrators if I can collect them in person.  I am in Dover

Just south of Ipswich (off the A12).

Schlumberger
1x SM7050 (reference standard meter) - one for the volt nuts, powers up etc.. but not looked into it further

That looks to be for testing electricity meters, hence the power factor & timer functions, something Schlumberger also made (now taken over by Itron). I guess they just throw them away nowadays and fit new digital meters, instead of testing & repairing them as they did with the analogue ones.

That makes sense. If it doesn't find a new home, I might have to do a tear-down.

[fcb]

A bit of interest in the 8753C (will post a picture of the front, it's on a shelf here and I'm not going to lift it down and fire it up yet - it's a beast).

Just put the 53310A through self-test here, looks like I might need to open the lid and poke about. Again will post pix.  For those that asked, it's got Channel C (Opt 030 and 031).

For those interested in the 53310A and 8753C

What's the issue with the 6632?

I also quite fancy the PM5193, but I doubt I can afford it.

Fortunately you live too far away for me to collect, otherwise I would be round there throwing the contents of my wallet at you!   

[fcb]

The 6632 is really spares and repairs - I can't even remember whats up with it (it's been here so long).

The PM5193 is fine and I have the original manual somewhere. Pic in next post.  The PM5193 is light-weight at only 10.5kg + packing, so perhaps 12.5kg.

The 8753C passes lots of the self-tests, some I can't do (without reading manual first), the odd one fails - i'll post pix below but would strongly suggest this is spares/repairs.

[fcb]

More pix.

[Echo88]

Would be really nice if you could do a short teardown of the SM7050. 
Couldnt find any info on it.

[branadic]

I would appreciate a teardown as announced here too.

-branadic-

[fcb]

SM7050 teardown - OK. I'll do this in the next few days.

[artag]

I collected the hp53310a today. Something I've wanted to investigate for a while.

Very good 'buying experience'. No bobcats. Recommended !

[fcb]

It was a pleasure to meet you too Adrian! Not sure I’ve met a fellow eevblogger in person before!? Especially in these weird times.
Thanks for the cartoon feedback - made me chuckle!
Very best, Ben

It's 4 a.m. ... and it's working   

Problem was that the input board (which is a daughterboard A2 plugged into the main board A1) wasn't fully seated on the headers. That shouldn't be able to happen but the clamping screws had got lost at some time.

Entirely consistent with what fcb had seen (stopped working after a while in storage) and I'd seen (solid A2 fault and intermittent LO fault).

I thought there was another fault : having got that far I couldn't get the input gain calibration to work, nor see any input. But that was PEBKAC - the input connectors are, unusually, ordered 'Ext Arm', A in, B in, C in : I was trying to apply input to the Ext Arm, and calibrate chan B with the input on A. 

It's a nice example - really clean inside, very little dust, no screenburn,  no cap leakage in the PSU. I think it's built in '99 or '00.

Awesome job artag. Really glad it wasn't anything major - it did work when I last used it in anger.  As for the PEBKAC - I did exactly that too.

I've been asked about the HP6632 pix & condition.

Makes a transformer energising sound when plugged in and switched ON. Nothing on the display.
Lid has some scratched area (see pix).
Dusty inside.
Missing 4 screws that hold on the lid.
Missing knob.
Power switch isn't sitting straight in case - not sure if it's the original.

So defo for spares/repairs.

Hi How much do you want for the signiture analyser?

What condition is it? and is it fully working?

Thank you
Chris

[fcb]

The 5006A is in excellent physical shape - but fails it's selftest (I think it does - it's been alongtime since I sat with the manual).  I'll power it up again this weekend and have a look.

[artag]

What's the betting the service manual for the 5006A requires you to check signatures ?

[fcb]

Is it weird to be excited at fixing something?

[artag]

Jim Williams used to get postgrads to break things for him, so he could fix them.

[hulchm9ib]

Hi,

just wondering if you still have any of the
Schaffner
1x NSG200E+NSG222A
1x NSG200E+NSG225
1x NSG203A
1x NSG224A
1x NSG505
1x NSG522 (used with NSG505, includes 2x LEMO HV leads)
- lots original manuals for the Schaffner stuff, would have to sort through.

Things I know this is a long shot as the post is from 4 years ago.

Kind Regards
Ian G0VIH

[fcb]

Yup.
