[Test-Equipment] HP 140T Analyzer

[Kim Herron]

Hi Bill!!
	I owned two of them.  The 140 frame does not have storage (if memory
serves) but the 141 does.  The scope itself is not a troublesome unit.  Pick
up a plug in or two for spare parts (the gear is old and things break). They
work well and are easy to use.  Get the service manuals for everything,
you'll want them for reference.  There are a lot of them out there and the
parts unit s are easy to get.  The plug-in are the bugger for parts, hence
the suggestion for parts units.  Parts plug-ins can be had for as little as
$20.

Hi,

I have the chance to pickup a 140T, 8553B RF plugin and 8552B IF plugin. 
  The equipment is supposed to be working but has not been used in many 
years.  I have searched the web and Agilent for info but have only 
gotten the barest data.  It appears to go to 110 MHZ with decent 
sensitivity.

I think it would serve me well but would like some more info.  Does the 
scope have storage capability?  Is there any common problems I should 
check for before purchase?  And critical proprietary parts that are 
likely to fail and drive me nuts trying to obtain?  Any first hand info 
would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill, K3PGB
