Why, you need a circuit analyzer to do that. It's like the snake eating it's own tail. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

A clearer picture might help. Which picture? The front shot? I'll try and add one or two more in a few....J.P. |

There was probably a test procedure for it but without that or some TV sets to use it on he's right, more or less. It's only good for TV work and who fixes TVs? If you are a tube TV collector tinkerer, my advice, buy it cheap. If you need it you can probably figure it out. As I recall, this is a device that does dynamic characteristic curves in-circuit. As such, it's not useful for anything unless you have a nominal set of curves available. The manual has curves of a bunch of old TV sets, which is basically not very useful today. BUT, if you are maintaining dozens of the same piece of equipment, the dynasweep can still be useful. You take nominal measurements on a known good piece of equipment and then compare with the bad one. It also could be a useful production line test device, though of course in the modern ATE era there are faster ways of doing that. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

It's a subber for various sections in a TV set. It was designed for tube TVs and may or may not be useable with solid state ones. I worked on Hazeltine and Lear Siegler CRT terminals in a shop that did them by the thousands. We had a subber assembly that would do the same things we built. It worked great. When the company was bought out they trashed it-didn't just throw it away, they sledged it and shredded all the documentation. I still have a set of prints I squirreled away somewhere. Management told it was because we were beating the contract labor rate by such a wide margin that if someone ratted us out, the customer would demand a rate reduction. Months later they fired several people for reasons that made no sense. One of them also, I know, had a set of prints. He must have ratted them out because we lost the contract, and management simply folded the business. The rumor was they were going to demand we sledgehammer all the test equipment, which made little sense to me, but the facility was burgled a short time later and everything not nailed down and some things that were were cleaned out. I saw various pieces of this at hamfests in the area for quite a while after that. The Huntron Tracker was and is a very efficient piece of troubleshooting for solid state equipment. They made a huge fortune because they had a patent and enforced it. I think the patent has run out but they are still doing pretty well. It's a very simple thing to build. The limiting factor on it is that no one troubleshoots most solid state equipment today-they throw it out still working. |
