Hello Jeff, Yes , I've tried to feed the signal from my external reference oscillator into the 1200, but it takes literately volts of signal to get it to switch to the external osc. input. Actually, the 1200 with the bad oscillator was a donor for my 1500 that originally had the bad

Have you ever tried KG Electronics (http://kgelectronics.com http://kgelectronics.com )? I remember talking to them before retiring the 1500, but I don't remember what the price was to replace the CRT. The attenuator (mechanical) was getting noisy/leaky too, so between those two problems, I

Thanks for the responses so far. I didn't mean to incide a war over this, but the going rate for an IFR 1200S is around $4,000 - the reason I'm looking for a less expensive option. If anyone can speak about Cushman monitors (the 4000) I have a lead on one of those. Otherwise, I'll try my luck

If you do opt to get an IFR and it has the high stability oscillator option, make sure it works properly. I have a bad IFR1200 here that the heater on the oscillator crapped out. The service monitor works, but it is way off frequency and can't be adjusted. The last time I priced repair, it
