Were these repackaged Cromco's? I've seen a few of these over the years and wondered about that. They seem like they are Cromco CEC-10's with a membrane key pad and moto case.

I checked the archives and noticed there was scant mention of these units. For the money, these seem like a dream come true. From what I understand, once set up in the test mode, they have most all of the function of the HP-8920 series minus the following: No Edacs,LTR or any signaling formats

No Gary. I meant Sineman. I'm fully aware of the lineman. That was a bit overpriced for what it did. We had two Nortel units that we bought ex-telco that did the same thing elegantly. The Sineman was a unit that we received a mailed brochure. I'm looking at it now. The description:

The Mod Box was a great idea during it's time. Only the IFR-1000 at the time had the provision to use a microphone with a pre-emhasis network. Most all the service monitors only allowed an internal tone or external audio gen. Some allowed the mix of both. The Mod box was sort of like a

Whoa! Bill actually went through with this? I never seen this as a production item although the idea of a service bench Analog/Digital voltmeter was something he was interested in doing. The DMM's A/D section was to go to an integrator and drive a meter for peaking or nulling. My understanding

Does anyone know what the background of GAW was? There wasn't a shop that I worked in that didn't have one of the Sinad/Distortion analyzers or the two tone generator that also was sold under the Motorola name. IIRC, there was also a small power supply with a hair trigger current
