Hi Bob: sounds as if it just had a hard bump, meaning that all the boards
and connectors need reseating. I had an Hp device with a tiny crack in a pc
trace on the motherboard, but by golly I found it. Hope the B doesn't prove
to be a sequential vortex :-)

Hi
Ok, the rest of the story:
I picked up a 5370B for less than the price of the 10811 inside it. The
unit
powers up and appears to function at some level. All of the front panel
knobs are either busted or sheared off. Switches and buttons all seem to
be
there and function (2 minute quick check).
I have it on a 3 day right of refusal. Popping the top to look inside
voids
that (at least I believe it does). Shipping there and back is roughly half
of what I paid for the unit.
5370A's are pretty common out there. 5370B's not so much so. If I keep
this
unit I'm trying to calibrate just what sort of adventure I'm getting
started
on. I already have a number of them going on.
The goal is still to get this one up and running by "repairing" the front
panel pots. With 4 of them to fiddle that may or may not work out. Ideally
I'd like to have a 5370B when I'm done. Since A's are all over the place,
swapping parts with an A to get the B going is what I was considering.
Of course if somebody has a little bag of magic dust that instantly
repairs
things....

I don't think thats true.
There would be a lot of common parts so the question is what are you
looking
for?

Hi
So a parts donor 5370B is a donor for 5370B's and not so much for a
5370A.
