Hello Patrice,
Your message went to a mailing list but I'm probably one of the ones
that was discussing the Tek 1230 pods. Strange as it sounds, I have some
pods, the case and some ROMs but I don't have the analyzer. No, my stuff
isn't for sale! One of thse days I'll get one of the analyzers. I have
several working Gould, HP and other analyzers so finding a 1230 isn't a
priority. There are LOTS of people that have the analyzers but without the
pods, it's a very common problem. The dealers that have pods want more for
them than what a complete LA with all the accessories would cost. My advice
is to NEVER buy a LA without the pods, wire lead sets and grabbers and
other parts that you need. It's just too expensive to buy the buy the
accessories separately. Your best best would be to buy a complete LA and
just save your's for parts if you ever need them.

Or be on the lookout for a Tek 1230 that has just died...Put the word out to
people that have one...Often when something like this dies it just goes in
the garbage. Make sure that everyone you know that knows someone that has
one knows that you will give them CASH for the entire kit and kaboodle even
though the analyzer itself has died [then you can scavange the carcass for
parts]
I have used this approach many times [on computer related and other stuff]
and it WORKS!

This sounds like the Tom Vu method for acquiring classic gear:
"You so stupid! Look at you with your puny little worthless computer
collection, while I sit here atop this pile of Altairs. Look, literally
it's a pile of Altairs! I get so many of these that I finally just
started throwing them into this pile, and now I can sit atop it like the
King of the Altairs and gloat while you sit there with your pitiful
Commodore 64 missing the '1' key! Listen to my plan and I'll make you a
classic computer GOD like me!!!"

hmm, upon re-reading I see that you were referring to the EQUIPMENT dying,
not the owner of said equipment. Tony Vu's method was to find people in
distress so you could get their property for next to nothing.
Sorry :)~
