List,
I won a 5370A from ebay. Though it seems to be missing the A channel level
knob, the unit was shown powered up with the correct 0.0 on the display,
although the unit was sold as non-working for parts or repair. But the price
was right with a best offer accepted.
So assuming (gulp) that th
It's not practical to convert an "A" to a true "B" model. They use a different
input front end circuit. But, the rest of the machine is compatible. The "B"
firmware runs on a "A". John's CPU board works on either version.

the A unit has the same specifications. If you put
John Seamons' BBB CPU card in it, it will simply sing
as far as speed goes, and you can use the A or B

off list please. Nothing from the front panel.

As I recall, it was to reduce cross-talk. Bruce the almighty might
recall better than me.
I would recommend Perry to apply the BBB based CPU-boards. Good use of
the hardware at hand.
Cheers,
