I am looking for a local home for Cushman radio analyzer.( xHz to 1GHz)?The 30 years plus old big heavy box had a leaking CPU memory ?battery.I replaced CPU board and it runs with a problem - majority of front panel knobs ?/ buttons are ignored.?You can set the frequency, but the output level is fixed ?/ high and modulated. Before "repair" it worked erratically but fine, including the CRT.I have a shop manual and some idea what could be wrong.I just do not have time or desire to work on it again.73 Vaclav AA7EJ Cypress?
