Going through my hamfest finds,
The Mena tube tester has a sticky meter, which i didn't see at first because it was the ride home that put it at 60, it got jostled and somehow landed there only to stay, if i tap on it it goes down.
The Joplin tube tester is in better shape in some areas worse in others, for example the hardware is rusty but all the meters work. Not much to say on this one.
B&K 440 CRT Rejuvenator, Missing the B adapter, leads not in the best shape, meter currently loose and will have to completely disassemble the unit to fix. Oh well gives me a chance to change caps before i put it on the shelf.
The Heathkit TV Alignement Generator is NOT an ig-52, that was a guess based on appearance. It is actual a TS-4A from the eleventh week of 1956. It was someones project before mine and there are a couple of odd things inside so it likely is going to live at the bottom of my repair que. For example of what i mean when i say odd, there are two extra tubes not on the schematic.
Heathkit IB-5281, Works though by design has no internal power supply, intend to build one for it.
Heathkit IM-8 & IM-5228 Both have more reason to work than not, going to replace capacitors in them andgo from there. OF course giving the IM-8 a new paint job in the long run.
Heathkit IO-4540, I know, i know a piece of junk with a plastic case and no shielding to speak of. Though mine is unique on two counts Bell and Howell name on the front and serial #551. Mine has a metal shield over the crt and if nothing else should be fun to screw around with.
Heathkit ETI-7010, works though will probably do a tear down just for fun and to go through it to be sure all is right in there. Have not fully tested.
Heathkit ETI-7040, see above.
HP 608C, not opened it but i already know exactly what to do with it. Going to change all capacitors and go from there depending on state of operation.
HP 8405A, Not sure on this one... if a probe is broke is that a game ender?
HP 1654B, No manual and difficult to repair power supply, typical 80s fun.
Paco C25, Not my holy grail by any stretch of the imagination, that honor is reserved for the heathkit IT-11, this is a very nice fine for me, so nice i didn't try too hard to haggle on the price. Nothing much to say here, give it a better set of leads change the single capacitor which is inside and it's golden... provided the magic eye works.
Minus the random bits thats it for now, still got Nixa in November to go to before i'm done for the year.
