FS (UK) Anyone want to buy an HP 5065A + distn. amp needing a bit of TLC?

[Oldtestgear]

I have an HP 5056A Rb standard that I need to find a new home for.  Part of a major clear out to try & find a bench top to actually work on. I also have the matching distribution amplifier  for sale

Serial # 2432A01386

Test readings as follows (recorded readings in 1988)

SUPPLY        39 (40)
LAMP OVEN 24  (24)
CELL OVEN  25  (25)
OSC. OVEN  39  (37)
PHOTO 1     31  (41)
5 MHz         18  (22)
CONTROL +/- 50   (+50)
ERROR    +/-  50    (0)
2nd HARM.    >50  (26)
1 MHz          40  (26)
100KHz  40  (40)

Integrator lamp flashing. Coarse oscillator control (fibreglass rod) seems broken at 10811 end.
Clock stopped updating after ~ 54 mins. The mains connector is not the original HP.

I am open to offers as the value of these seems to vary wildly according to serial # & condition. Happy to try & answer any questions. If anyone is willing to travel to look at it, they are most welcome.

This could be very nice project, but there is so high price spreading of these that I don't even dare to make offer.

I might be interested. Can you send me a PM and we can chat?

Thanks,

Hi,
The 5065a is provisionally sold - I am waiting for it to be boxed up & receive payment. If anything goes wrong ( unlikely I think) then I will make contact again.

Thanks for your interest.

BTW the 5087a distribution amp is still available.

Awh nuts, was it the one with the Patek Phillipe analogue movement on the front?

[Oldtestgear]

The 5065A is now on its way to a new owner.
The 5087a distribution amplifier still need a new home. Any vaguely sensible offer will be considered.

Cheers

Phil
