content: Moving on some small bits and pieces. All located in East Melbourne.XY stage is from a spectrophotometer, and was used to move a microplate (microtitre plate). 6 wire steppers on each axis, adjustable hard stops, and coarse photogate encoders on both stages. Rigid enough for a small engraving or 3D extrusion rig. Free for your time to pickup, too heavy to post.Power supply is a Farnell branded LT30-2, dual 30V 2A supply working great. Everyone loves a TO3 based supply. Free pickup for someone who can use it, postage is too high for most people to consider.The Tek 314 was fully working until I powered it up to take some photos of it in operation. It's blown a tantalum on one of the analog rails (characteristic smell) and now shows "line low" when you try to power it over mainsor DC, and neither draw substantial current so some protection circuitry has kicked in. Power input is multivoltage 100-120Vac 220-240Vac both 48-400Hz, as well as 10-14V and 22-28V DC. Takes real probes via bnc sockets on the side. But the jewel is the miniature storage tube which is great for single shot captures or even serial packets. $50 plus postage in this non working condition, or free pickup.

content: Man, I could be interested in all 3, but shipping to the US would be absolutely killer (right?).How about the motors on the xy stage? Are the encoders attached to the motors or to the frame somehow? If they are on the motors or could be modified to be I could sure use them.
