Be aware that the CG5000
series needs a leveling head that is generally removed before sale. (it's a wire, why'd you need
that?)
((because it has stuff attached to it that the gadget needs?))
What receivers do when a company goes bust is make a pile of electronics to sell, and put all cables
or anything that looks like a cable, in a large bin and sell that as a single lot.
Since a (detachable) levelling head looks like a cable, into the bin it goes. So just about every
SG504 for sale anywhere is minus the levelling head. Hence Ancel's replacement head (and another
physical design that Dave Partridge did).
Earlier Tektronix levelled generators had a captive levelling head, so don't suffer the same fate.
