Hi folks, I recently gambled on a 5061A on the auction site. I got veeeeeery lucky and the unit arrived undamaged and with a good FOM functional beam tube. It has a FTS7105 tube in it. It was scuzzy inside and took a while to pump down, but the ion pump current now goes to zero. It locks up and works just fine. I was able to procure a 6144 DC version of the oven controller, and was hoping for some guidance on swapping out the AC for it. It appears there are some select at test type resistors. Also I don't know if the OEM tube and the FTS tube have same thermistor characteristics, or oven temp. The tube label shows none of this info, its possible that data is affixed to the side facing the deck?
Also interested in preventative maintenance guidance if anyone cares to spare it. Old caps and such. On an aside, i just ordered a stack of 5 copies of the beaglebone black carrier board to upgrade my 5370B. I'll have 4 spares (unpopulated). If anyone wants one, let me know off-list at tannerpa at gmail. Ill let them go for $20ea.
