Hi Folks,

I just noticed this unit on ebay. The front panel has a whole extra
array of connectors there.


Does anyone know what these were for?

The listing has ended. I would like to have seen the unit.

Like this:

That is truly bizarre!? Hard to imagine why somebody would need, or think he would need, that many connectors!

They appear to related to Option 1M. I suspect someone needed to access the rear connections to the SM11 box and found it more convenient to patch them to the front. A simple unauthorized DIY mod to the panel probably saved many hours of opening the rack or crawling around the bench and fishing for cables.

Could this be for someone at tek to do maintenance on SM11 boxes?

That seems highly likely. It might have been used to test SD sampling heads and the panel connections are from the interface to the heads.

Typical eBay seller. A $13,000 device, $1000 for shipping , one picture and description copied from the brochure. Anybody who would spend that kind of money based on the listing gets what they deserve. Unbelievable.

They operate a test equipment calibration service and sales from a
brick and mortar so it's a step up from an ebay seller but yes that
price is still absurd for what it is. What drives me nuts is that they
are experts so they should know this isn't the conventional version of
1M and they think it's part of 1T which it obviously is not.

The original listing I shared was $397.00 with about $120 for
shipping. Which is closer to sanity. I am unclear on how they ended up
making two listings for the same item.
