FOR SALE: Sencore Video Bench Test Equipment Suite This is a complete video testing bench. If you are familiar with consumer electronics test equipment, you probably know the Sencore name; if you're not, Sencore is the leader in test equipment for the consumer electronics industry. I am shutting down my part-time VCR repair business, in favor of other business ventures! The last thing(s) I need to get rid of is my Sencore test equipment. This equipment is six months old, has seen light usage, and is in PERFECT condition. Included: (Descriptions below) SC-61 Dual Trace Scope VA-62A Video Analyzer NT-63 NTSC Pattern Generator SC-64 VCR Video Head Signal Generator (Not sure of the exact nomenclature) EX-231 Expansion Box - connects 63 & 64 to the VA62A. PR-57 Isolation Transformer & AC leakage tester. This equipment package is EVERYTHING needed to service video equipment. This package goes for approximately $7000 new; I will sell it ********************************* for loan payoff + shipping. ********************************* As of 20 November, the loan balance was about $5500. Loans are available through the equipment manufacturer, with standard approval - they will approve almost anyone!! My payments are $163/mo. With this balance, and a new 48 month loan, payments should be on the order of $150, maybe less. All equipment will come in original shipping containers, with all documentation, cables, etc. I believe there is a two year warranty on this equipment. I need to sell this equipment before my next payment is due, on 20 December 90. If you have need of this type of equipment, or know of anyone who does, please pass this on. Besides the fact that _I'm_ selling it, I honestly believe this to be a great deal! ALSO, I WILL PAY A FINDER'S FEE OF $100 TO ANYONE WHO FINDS ME A BUYER!! SC-61 O'scope: This is a 60MHz scope, capable of measuring pulses and transients up to 100MHz. It is specifically set up for video signals, and has several sync positions for Horiz. and Vert. sync'ing. Each channel has 3 pushbuttons for getting an instantaneous readout on the LCD display of Volts DC, Volts Peak to Peak, and Frequency. Each channel can also measure DC and/or freq, with the input coupling set to AC, by virtue of an isolation circuit in the input, and special probes. you NEVER have to get a different probe to switch AC to DC, never even have to change a switch setting. There are also functions to measure delta-time, display ch. A, B, A&B, both, or X-Y. Note: There are many functions to this scope I haven't described here. VA-62A Video Analyzer: This is a multi-function video generator/ analyzer. It has a frequency generator that will output signal on any cable or broadcast channel 2-99; it will output IF for stages 1,2, or 3; will output 30Hz servo signals for VCR trouble shooting; audio signals, many more. Test patterns include dot, crosshair, grid, grey scale step, color bar, multiburst; & external (see below). EX-231 Expander Box: Used to connect the following accessories so they may be used with the VA-62. NT-63 NTSC Test Pattern Generator: Accessory that generates the NTSC test patterns required by some Vid. Equipm. manufacturers for warranty work. SC-64 Video Head Substitution Box: Generates signals that allow signal substitution directly into any point of the VCR circuit= ry from the video head on. Very useful in determining whether a VCR really has a bad head, or if the problem is downstream. PR-57 Isolation Transformer & AC leakage tester: This unit has variable output, a meter to measure wattage & voltage, and a probe to measure AC leakage on consumer electronic equipment, which is required on every piece of repaired equipment. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael G.
