Re: [time-nuts] OT: 5372A
Pete, 5u: 50lbs or so. Not sure on the physical dims but can check when I get home. Have fun! That instrument is a pain in the ass to set up. TI on the 5370a: Simple TI on the 5372a: complex setup. Good news is that you have control of everything. Bad news is that you have to specify everything.

Re: [time-nuts] OT: 5372A
It's so heavy that they wouldn' publish the weight ;) Dimensions and weight are in the specs document 5952-8012. Net 25.5 kg (56 lbs), shipping 36.4 kg (80 lbs). Overall dimensions with feet and front handles: w 425 mm (16.75), h 187 mm (7.35), d 645 mm (25.4). In other words, it's quite a massive piece of equipment. And, it's a hungry beast, too (max power 500 VA as by the specs). Adrian Pete Lancashire schrieb: Looking for what one weighs and its dimensions.

Thanks everyone. The question came up in what I am being charged for shipping From Texas to Oregon, $140 UPS Ground. Not complaining since I got the thing for $53. Hopefully will be FIP. -pete PS Thanks also on the battery issue. Next to get a real service manual.
