EB5AGV's Test Equipment Collection

This is my test equipment collection which in turn forms my home lab. I use to buy items in unworking condition so in these pages you will find links to information about my repairs (I will add them as soon as the pages are done). Hope this helps to other people who also enjoy fixing test equipment!

I have most of the Service Manuals for these items (both in paper and in PDF) so if you need any information, just E-mail me.

If you need manuals, please, check also the Technical Manuals CD-ROM Compilation page.

My RF Lab

This is the RF Lab / Repair Station, where I repair radio and test equipment gear. In order to keep in touch with the World, I have installed some equipment: Yaesu FT-890AT, SP-6 speaker with Timewave DSP-59Y, AEA DSP-232, Yaesu FT-212RH, Yaesu FT-712RH, Alinco DR-570E. In the picture I was working on my Neuwirth HMT SiO (a large unit!)

Repair Station 8/2005

After some test equipment additions, this is the last version of the RF Lab in December 2005.
