[Premium-Rx] Rohde & Schwarz

[Geoff Fors]

Wow, I guess nobody has had much luck with small parts from Rohde & Schwarz!  The company doesn't seem geared up for small orders, which isn't unique.  I was quoted $ 600 for a photocopy of the manual for an ESR meter from Clarke-Hess, "if they could find it," $ 450 for a partial copy of a signal generator manual from Logimetrics, and similar prices from other firms for other things.  Fluke charges $ 5 EACH for tiny stickers which go over the calibration initiate switch hole on their 8842 DMM's, Motorola wants $ 20 for a small plastic knob for one of their land mobile radios, and so forth.

In his defense, I have to say that Ulrich Rohde was truly a prince and personally obtained a manual for me for my 1951 vintage SK040  700 Watt AM R&S transmitter without any charge when I didn't have any luck with the front office.  He shuttles back and forth between New Jersey and Germany.

It might not hurt to inquire of Helmut Singer Electronik in Aachen, Germany ( has website) or camp on eBay.de if you can translate the listings.
