The military radio guys tell me that every service depot had a collection of dogs that couldn't be fixed. The dogs were identifiable because they were missing so many parts that were used to fix other equipment.
Don't throw good money after bad. (Not sure how that will translate, but it means that after you make a mistake in buying something, don't spend more money trying to repair it.) Of course, the parts stripping may not have occurred at a repair facility. The owner merely wanted meters and switches for some unrelated project.

Ha, you've got the other one! I bet you got that one on eBay, from a Dutch fellow. He also had a 5061A for sale, which is now in my posession. It's in similar shape: Crystal over missing, front panel meter missing. At least yours still has the C field meter, mine doesn't. The guy selling it to me turned out to be a collegue of mine at Philips NatLab. If you know a good source of spare parts, please keep me posted or I'll be stuck with a source of spare parts myself ;-) Robert. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
