Sometimes you just gotta gloat............
Hello All,
I have been on the lookout for a variety of different FLUKE equipment. And today, it all came together in a wonderful way.
I went to my favorite local Equipment Surplus Center on the hunt for an HP 6260B DC PSU. Found one, 40 dollars. DONE!!! Or so I thought, until I decided to take one more quick look before leaving with my new to me DC PSU.
While cruising around I spotted what looked like a FLUKE 7105A Calibration System. You know the one………….all hidden back in a dark corner. Well, sure enough it was a 7105A with its full compliment of test gear. 335D, 845AR, 720A, 721A, and a BUNCH of interconnects. All of the equipment looks to be in fine shape and VERY clean. No busted or bent posts, all knobs and switches intact. The best part…………..when I asked how much he would sell it for he told me, “If and ONLY if you take both the HP 6260B and the 7105A, I will give it to you for $250 cash total.”
Needles to say, I could not get my pocket opened fast enough…………out flew the cash and the gear was even loaded into the back of my truck for me.
It has been a VERY good morning gentleman, a very good morning indeed.
I do have a question regarding all of the FLUKE cables that came with the 7105A:
These are the part no’s:
PCA-0110
PCA-0116
PCA-0126
PCA-0136
PCA-0227
PCA-0536
PCA-0627
PCA-0636
I have multiples of these and cannot seem to locate any info on these anywhere. I have skimmed through the manuals for all of the gear and they seem to have no reference. What SPECIFICALLY are these for and where would one find the info for them and their use?
Cheers,
David
David,
Congratulations on your find. It looks like you have just added several new
'projects' to keep you busy. I found a reference to those cables on
pmelforum here ...

If no one here can help you, the folks there might still have some 7105's
laying around to help. I wonder if the cables were spec'd for some
government contract. They like to purchase turn-key products.

I don't suppose you would give us the address of this "Equipment Surplus
Center" of yours????
I like those places where they don't have an IDEA of what they have and
what it is worth!!!
Great catch to say the least. At least you will have something to do
for a while.
What do those PCA .... interconnect cables look like? Gold plated?
Banana, spade etc.? Might be low thermal?
