Wow you got a piece of a Teradyne test system! What a
haul!
I programmed the L210 and the L300 models. This may be an older one.
Seems like you got the CPU and one of the peripherial cabinets.
You missed out one the bed-of-nails test bed wtih all the vacum hoses
and press down pull up etc mechanics.
The Peripherial cab had voltage supplys, current
supplys,
digital multimeters, other test instruments, sig generators, etc.
All were programmed and read by the CPU via the cross matrix switch.
That bed-of-nails cabinet is larger than the old GSA iron desks from
the 40's. Probably weighed 2-3 k lbs by itself.
Rich,
Oh, nifty! I knew if I posted this, someone would recognize the
non-PDP parts. I've never actually seen one of these systems in
person, though I've known about them for years, and even met one or
two guys who worked on them. I was wondering about the card in the
Teradyne cage with all the driver transistors on it.
The auction brochure
(http://www.xlineassets.com/images/Xline%20Auction5_5_05.pdf)
mentions a Teradyne Z1890VP ICT tester. I wonder if that's the part
I didn't get?
Thanks for speaking up.
