Did I pay too much?
coromonadalix:
And the basic problem(s) when you buy stuff is : how can you repair some of them IF you dont or wont get acess to an service manual w schematics
yeah you could be lucky or not .... always on a balance
for me it's still a no but i understand the deal if it work after repairs ..... another BUT, calibration if ever needed ?? supplemental costs maintaining this one or any equipment piece ...
found theses: could get some hints, infos, voltages ..... some have seems to have schematics or bad scanning ???

good luck

In general, a defect in the RF section doesn’t blow the fuse, the switching PS should have current limit that kicks in before the fuse blows. In general.

It's always hard to judge the value of niche used (never mind defective) test equipment.
+ fairly modern and compact
+ 30 GHz is somewhat rare (26.5 GHz more common, does this matter to you?)
+ broken PSU is mostly a good sign, decent chance it is fixable
- Anritsu is not great with service manuals
- 1 kHz minimum RBW unless it has Option 02 or 03
- low-end model, phase noise in particular is not great
- limited signal analysis (FM only)
Instinctively I'd say it's not exactly a bargain but if it fits your needs and you think you can fix it, the price is probably ok.
shakalnokturn:
If it's only a power supply problem l'd call it a good deal. Aren't the PSU's a known problem on these?
It's doubtful the RF section was wrecked before the PSU went bad unless it has been stored in harsh conditions for ages.
Then there's still the case where you've been sold a unit pieced together with all the defective parts from several others. Some sellers do that... It's almost as honest as selling non-working equipment with missing parts and forgetting to mention it :box:
You won't know if you return it.

For now It meet my requirements.
Do you think the options are software base or hardware based?
