OK. One is in nice shape, one has had the power cable cut off
(suggesting to me that it is defective).
Well, cut cables don't always mean bad gear when it comes from a
university auction. Someone cut the cord off of a nice bit of tube gear I
got from one university...he wanted the cord to test a motor...

Uh oh. I'd suggest you check it out before powering it up again, or at
least bring it up slowly to full power with a variac while monitoring its
current draw. The power transformers for these things are somewhat hard to
find, and a bad cap could take it out.

I bought a 502 and a 502A for a total of $5 last year at auction. I've
not yet powered them up, as they need to be restored, Heath ES-600 function generator (q. 2)
Nice...I believe you can get manuals for these too, but they have to be
obtained from a 3rd party, since Heath no longer offers them.
