[Premium-Rx] WTB: Watkins Johnson 8940 Tempest Rx System

[Jeff Kruth]

Hi Bruce!


I have two of them and would part with one.  They cost me a bit back in the day. Complete system, desk and all, cables etc.  I may even have some documents for loan to copy. We can discuss the price. Shipping would be by freight or you could pick it up.  These were functional units when I bought them, and have been in storage (in my lab) ever since. Never got around to using them, so they have sat in the corner. Not many were made, and at one point WJ had a sale for one of mine to Denmark, as WJ did not want to build a one-off. It was from this that I learned they were $300K. Did not come through. This was back just at the time the Clinton Admin killed the Tempest requirement.
They are really quite the thing!

I happened upon a brochure for the Watkins-Johnson WJ-8940 receiver in 

the desk console. Has anyone seen one of these, and even more important, 
does anyone have a project one they are willing to part with? It looks 
like a neat rig, restoring one would be quite a project but that's the 
kind of puzzle and challenge I would like.
