I guess they just throw them away nowadays and fit new digital meters, instead of testing & repairing them as they did with the analogue ones.David

content: Quote from: factory on November 14, 2020, 01:51:16 pmThat makes sense. If it doesn't find a new home, I might have to do a tear-down.

content: A bit of interest in the 8753C (will post a picture of the front, it's on a shelf here and I'm not going to lift it down and fire it up yet - it's a beast).Just put the 53310A through self-test here, looks like I might need to open the lid and poke about. Again will post pix. For those that asked, it's got Channel C (Opt 030 and 031).

content: What's the issue with the 6632?I also quite fancy the PM5193, but I doubt I can afford it.Fortunately you live too far away for me to collect, otherwise I would be round there throwing the contents of my wallet at you!

content: The 6632 is really spares and repairs - I can't even remember whats up with it (it's been here so long).The PM5193 is fine and I have the original manual somewhere. Pic in next post. The PM5193 is light-weight at only 10.5kg + packing, so perhaps 12.5kg.The 8753C passes lots of the self-tests, some I can't do (without reading manual first), the odd one fails - i'll post pix below but would strongly suggest this is spares/repairs.

content: It's 4 a.m. ... and it's workingProblem was that the input board (which is a daughterboard A2 plugged into the main board A1) wasn't fully seated on the headers. That shouldn't be able to happen but the clamping screws had got lost at some time.Entirely consistent with what fcb had seen (stopped working after a while in storage) and I'd seen (solid A2 fault and intermittent LO fault).I thought there was another fault : having got that far I couldn't get the input gain calibration to work, nor see any input. But that was PEBKAC - the input connectors are, unusually, ordered 'Ext Arm', A in, B in, C in : I was trying to apply input to the Ext Arm, and calibrate chan B with the input on A.It's a nice example - really clean inside, very little dust, no screenburn, no cap leakage in the PSU. I think it's built in '99 or '00.

content: I've been asked about the HP6632 pix & condition.Makes a transformer energising sound when plugged in and switched ON. Nothing on the display.Lid has some scratched area (see pix).Dusty inside.Missing 4 screws that hold on the lid.Missing knob.Power switch isn't sitting straight in case - not sure if it's the original.So defo for spares/repairs.

content: The 5006A is in excellent physical shape - but fails it's selftest (I think it does - it's been alongtime since I sat with the manual). I'll power it up again this weekend and have a look.
