Some
of these normalizers, like the 8750A, required a 'personality module' to make
them work with particular pieces of gear.? For instance, the 8750A could be
configured for use with either the 8505 VNA or 141T spectrum analyzer, if?I
remember correctly.?
?
So
it's possible that your 8501A is in working order after all, but configured for
use with?an 8505 or something else.

Perhaps the best first question is
can you email me a couple of pages that would guide me through testing the
8501A?? I have an in-calibration 8754A and my analyzer manual does not
cover the "adjustment" that needs to be made to use the 8501A, but does
mention it.
The Storage Normalizer does not toggle when I press the
local/remote button on the far right (although the LED does flicker on power
up), and the display goes blank if I turn the storage display control to "ON"
or "HOLD".? I expected something to happen, but not a blank
display.
I have already checked the 8501A, reseated all boards, looked
for component problems, power supply problems, etc.?? It was an EBAY
deal...? what can I say!? I really would like to get it working,
though.?
I home-brew duplexers (have a set of 6m cans nearly
complete right now), so let me know it there is anything I can offer you in
exchange for a copy or to borrow your manual.
