I found one of these a couple of days ago. Does anyone here know anything
about them? I'm trying to figure out what some of the pushbuttons do.
I work for the company, but all info on older stuff
cannot be found.
Wonderfull! :-( Do you know if B&H built professional grade test
equipment? This looks far too complex inside to be for a hobbiest. BTW
these don't seem to be too rare. I searched the net and found several for
sale but no one has any info on them.
BTW II. This came from Lockheed Space Operations at Kennedy Space Center
so they must have thought it was pretty good quality. I checked the timing
of the square and sine wave generators in it against a HP counter that also
came from KSC and was recently calibrated and they agree exactly. The HP
counter is a HP model 5245 with Nixie tubes. The date code on it says that
it was built in the 44th week of 1969. It was still being used at KSC till
April 2003 when one Nixie tube died and the retired it. Hard to believe
that it's over 33 years old!
