The problem is that the transformer is very fragile and is almost invariably the broken part. It is also unrepairable.
Spare transformers, if they are good, could in theory help revive a "for parts" unit into a "for use" unit!
Have you seen the prices for P6042s lately on eBay?

You can often pick up a "for parts" P6042 for the price he is asking for just the sensor. The only problem with that approach is that you might end up with a few P6042s and no time to fix them...

That's why I said it's possible. Looks the same to me. Jam that guy in there and it should work.
The P6042 is captive to the main unit, and the A6302 is the same probe but with a connector and a different amp.
If the p/ns are different it's because the newer part uses a different potting compound AFAIK.

Why do you say it's a P6042 part? The seller is claiming it's for an
A6302, is that incorrect?
I thought the P6042 used the 120-0464-00 and 120-0464-01.
