Hello, I'm the owner of a HP141T with multiple sections since 2010.
?
From that time, in order to be quick on different projects and testing, I progressively purchased three HP8552B? sections (IF section).?
?
That way, i'd assemble respectively together to ease quick plug and play inside the HP141T chassis:
- section 8556A (0-30 KHz / 0-300 KHz) with first 8552B
- section 8553B (0-11 MHz / 0-110 MHz) with second 8552B
- section 8554B (0-13000 MHz) with third 8552B
I do have one tracking generator 8444A (0.5 - 1300 MHz).
?
During early 2022, I had specific EMC/EMI contract so I've decide to rather go after more recent sprectrum analyzer, Advantest R3361 but kept the HP141T with all its section. At that time, everything was working fine but it has been kept since then in my cellar. For different reasons, I need to make room in my house so do not intend to keep the HP141T suite along some other equipment (i.e. tektronix).
?
My first question: since the HP141T was not run for more than 2 years, is it possible to run the HP141T alone with no section added.
?
My second question: what do you suggest on how to resell these having in mind thet are in mint condition and I'm living in France ?
?
Unless you consider it is really not worth (time, money, logistics) to try resell then only choice would be junkyard.
?
Thank you in advance for any wisdom technical advices and suggestions.

Albert
