signal

A couple classic signal and pulse generators.

RES


RES

An assortment of stovepipe resistors.  Resistance values are from quite low to a little over a kilohm.  They are high power and some are even water cooled.  They are kind of handy if you need a load resistor of an odd value or need to change the load while still dissipating a bit of heat.


high voltage





hv


hv


High voltage  power supplies and insulators.  The HV supplies are mostly 9 - 10 kV.  The small bluish box with three insulators on top is actually a 6.3 vac CT transformer isolated so it can run while connected to 10 kV relative to ground.



oven

inuslated

thermal

A large, insulated chamber on a cart on wheels.  The boxes on top are not included.  I don't know much about it but could poke around a bit.  The bottom photo shows the inside of the chamber
but may need to be rotated 90 degrees.




racks

An example of an open frame relay rack with wood shelves and wheels.  I have several (10) of these to go.  Actual item may vary slightly from the photo (more or less shelves).


power supply

magnet

A Varian power supply that works with a high power magent.  Magnet in th ebottom photo and the box it sits on are part of the system.




monitor

Available are some Sun monitors, 19" I think, CRT and heavy.  Condition is unknown but likely they work.




monitor

I have a couple monochrome monitors.  They have all been tested ok, but they may have some burn in tho the quick test didn't show any.  They are amber or green phosphor.

chart


paper



chart

photodiode

Various chart recorders and other instruments.  They do not appear to have pens tho I have some pens.  I also have some paper but not sure which recorder it goes to.


nmr   nmr 1

The guts of an NMR.  It is an older version and I don't know its status.  Might be useable for parts.  I have some literature too.


x ray

oil

oil


The guts of an x-ray power supply.  It is water cooled and around 60KV I think.  It can't be used as an x-ray source (some regulatory agencies would frown on that) but may be parted out.  It is roughly the size of a dryer and quite heavy.

pump


A vacuum pump and bell jar with controls on a cart about the size of a desk, and heavy.  I don't know the status of the vacuum pump.  It hasn't been run for at least a decade. 
The bell jar's rubber seal also looks to be cracking.  There is documentation included.



box

cntr


cntr



Some timing boxes but also with power supplies including high voltage.  If I remember right the high voltage is generated using a 120 vac isolation and maybe a voltage doubler.  Nothing fancy.



em


em


e/m

Boxes that adjust an externally applied high voltage (from the Kepco supplies above).  But also included is a 0 to 25 volt at several amps power supply.  Again it is nothing fancy.



plc

A PLC 5/20 with some nice I/O.  This was removed from an enclosure from a working piece of equipment but I have never tested it other than to power it on.  If you are familiar with these it is a nice unit.

nema3

Pictures of the stainless steel enclosure.  It measures 36" x 24" x 10".  There are holes in, some you might be able to use, others can be plugged.  The PLC 5/20 was mounted inside.
I also have a smaller roughly 16 x 24 inch box.



cart

An oscilloscope cart.  A little dirty but nice size.


camera


Scope camera bits.  I halso have some viewing hoods that fit around the crt.




function

Some function generators.  Not too fast or fancy, but classic General Radio design.


ccd

A digital camera without a lens.  I have 5 of these.


glove box

A two handed glove box with blower and inlets on the left side for dry air.  The two ports on either side will probably need new gasket material.  Measures approx. 3' x 2' x 2'.


lamp

Dual lamp fixture - might be good for use with a lathe or milling machine.
