PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY

       Although I have checked out this analyzer for basic functionality, it has never been thoroughly checked for either accuracy or calibration.    

To the best of my knowledge this unit functions correctly with the exception of the "On/Off" switch. The switch seems to be locked in the "On" position which makes it necessary to unplug the unit to turn it off. I believe this is a mechanical alignment problem that can be easily fixed however I'm not inclined to mess with it at this point. The unit itself is in fair to good condition, about a 7 on a scale of 10. There are light scratches and signs of use but no major blemishes. As can be seen in one of the photos, one small rubber bumper is missing from the front cover.  

Item will be professionally bubble wrapped and packed in new box.  You'll not be disappointed

As with all electronics, this item is sold "AS IS" with no warrenty intended or implied.  

None at all.  No returns are accepted and no refunds.  

What you see is what you get! .  


Hello, my name is Gene and I am a long time professional engineer in the area of RF communications.  Due to my involvement in the industry and my proximity to a major flea market.  I have been collecting interesting electronic equipment for quite some time.  

I admit it.  I'm addicted to this stuff!!

        This all began with my goal to develop a home lab the equal of the equipment I use in a professional capacity.  It turns out that the joy was predominently in the hunt!  As soon as I located one piece, I was off searching for the next and the ultimate bargin.  My most recent plan was to stop the buying phase and go to the next step, lab setup. Well, the "lab" hasn't taken place but "retirement" has!.  Since I'll soon be relocating to a new area, my collection either gets sold or goes into storage.  Enough said?

      Since I have a friend who's an avid seller on ebay, I've decided it's time to sell most of my prized collection through him.  Although it is difficult to part with my 'babies", I take comfort in knowing they will be appreciated and enjoyed in their new eBay homes.  I am "passing the torch" to you budding RF engineers and experimenters...
