  • Why shouldn't we question everything?
    • It's not really a Blog

I love looking at spacejunk like this, for the beauty of the designs.

It's too bad most such 'really dead' bits of high tech gear seem to be dumpstered, rather than put on ebay with low prices.

How did you find that one, if I may ask? Because I have a HP 83480A digital communications Analyzer, with no modules.

I've been hoping to find dead modules and perhaps component swap to end up with a working one, but didn't see any 'dead, for parts' ones yet.

This was a dead module that was given to me by a friend. I'll keep an eye out for the modules you are looking for, I will let you know if I come across any.

There's a nice cross-section view of the O/E converter on page 30.
