Okay... i tore it down yesterday... and found date codes between 18th week 1987 and 22nd week 1992.
So probably it was built in the second half of 1992, 25 years old.
And from the inside it also looks really good.
Unfortunately there is a problem uploading pictures to photobucket so i will post them directly here soon.
I am not very well versed in electronics, in general i am only a user
So i am not able to analyze the circuits or something.
Please correct me if i am wrong!
There are 2 large Boards inside the 7063, one with the digital section (?) and power supply in the bottom and one with the analogue and A/D section on the upper side (mounted upside down).
Then there is the display board in the front and a smaller board onto the upper A/D board.
The big blue cap on the power input is not readable on the photo, its a BHC 10.000 ?F 16V, made in UK.
On the digital board i could identify a Hitachi 8 bit processor HD63B03XF running at 2 MHz plus two Atmel AT28C16 16k EEPROMs.
GPI Adapter is a Motorola MC68488 plus MC3447P Transceivers.
On the D/A board is another 8 bit Hitachi proc HD63A03RP running at 1,5 MHz (according to datasheet) and a CD1552RI A/D converter.
And... a lot of other stuff
All signals go directly through the cables to the upper board, there are also some relays but i have no idea what is doing what... and where the voltage reference is !?
Would be great if someone who knows all that stuff could add something.
Regards,
Olaf
At first, the backside, forgot that one in the beginning, and opened up...
