Hi Tim,
I like your new 4E shop. You're not only a rigorous restorer of renown, but also adept at alliteration.
Do you happen to have a set of feet with tilting bail? I have a 6050A that's missing its rear feet and the front feet with tilting bail. Many PD supplies seem to use the same ones.
Hi Tim,
Do you only have one of the analogue edge (vertical) meters? I'd be looking for three (at least).
I like to make clocks from analogue meters and haven't done one in that style yet.

I think I might have another tilting bail in the box. I'll check for you this evening. I'm pretty sure I've got a couple of sets of feet as well. If I don't have the bail, I can make you one to spec.

3 for hours, minutes, seconds? Would the seconds meter wear out by moving full scale at 1Hz?
Just to confirm, is this what you're after?
Ignore the missing foot in the bottom right, I've got a few more of them.

Yes, those look like the ones. The mounting holes for the front feet on the 6050A are 148mm apart. On my 2010, it looks like they're 147mm apart, heh.
That sounds good Tim. Thanks for checking. Add one set of feet and bail to my shopping cart.
Do you also have the locking (pull-to-unlock) toggle switches (voltage range switch)? The one on my 2010 is bent. I haven't tried bending it back, yet. I guess I'll give it a try first, to see if it snaps off.
I saw that you have dials for the 20-volt supplies. Do you also have them for the 50-volt models?
OK, since you've got a switch, I tried bending mine back. It was going quite well...until the last couple of degrees. *snap!* Not surprising, though, considering that it's a hollow shaft to accommodate the locking spring. Now, I just have to find the little critter to check if the tip unscrews. Amazing how well these things can hide in plain sight.
I'll be back...
Nope, haven't found it yet. Do you have a photo? The switch on my 2010 looked like the one on my TP340A. This pic from my thread on the 340:
I wasn't able to loosen the end on either. I didn't want to try too hard lest I break the TP340A too. Anyway, if yours is the same, I'll get it since I need something. When I eventually find the original handle I'll try again to twist the end off.
No problem, Tim. I'll wait to see if it turns up. After all, this is the Extraordinarily Esoteric Emporium of Electronics. So, if it's anywhere, it's got to be here. Anyway, I still have to find my handle.
Thanks for the background on PD's use of locking vs. non-locking switches. I hadn't seen one with a non-locking one, so it never occurred to me. It's good to have the fallback plan, just in case.
@timb:
Any chance you have one of these PD knobs?
Dimensions:
Knob: 0.500 in
Flange: 0.680 in
ID: 0.250 in
Thanks!

The only difference is yours has a cutout for the position indicator, whereas mine only has a black line. Otherwise the sizes are the same!
You still want the bail and feet? Like I said, I can throw in a non-locking replacement switch as well if you want it.
