They would sell me a manual only if I purchased the instrument. They once told me that they had a spare manual but would not even loan it or photocopy it for me. If anyone on the net has a manual for a Telonic SPI-64 sweep generator, I have a deal for you!!! This may also be know as a SG-599/DRA-6 in military nomenclature. I once placed a large order with Tucker for X-band waveguide hardware. It arrived with nice calibration decals, but several pieces were missing critical components which rendered them inoperable. I wonder how Tucker performed the calibrations? After sending these back, I have vowed to never have any more dealings with Tucker. Previously, I had sold some equipment to Tucker; they resold it at a 4 to 5 X markup. I also had to wait over four months for payment. My suggestion is to be wary when dealing with this outfit.
