Hi All,
I have a 545A, 3 pre-amps (Types CA, K and L) and 1L5 Spectrum Analyzer all on a 500/53A Scope-Mobile with manual (incl. schematics) that I would like to give to someone who will truly appreciate it for what it is. It was given to me about 15 years ago and have used it many times until about 5 years ago when I turned it on and no trace on the screen. I was working with an expert via email helping me fix it. We narrowed the problem to the CRT HV supply. Diodes are all good. It is very likely a cap in the tripler. I didn't have a HV probe or voltmeter >1kV to test the caps and was in the process of getting one when I just ran out of time. Still don't have the time. I need the space and I can't simply, well, toss it......
I would strongly prefer to give away the whole package and not parts. I'm in southern NH and would be willing to drive a couple hours to get it to the right person. If you are seriously interested in taking the whole package, please let me know. Additional questions welcome. If multiple interested parties, I'll prioritize in the order received.
Brett
