Probably the most gorgeous test gear teardown yet!
A master class in modular product design and design for servicing, a mystery retro bit of test gear from the bunker that was found in a dumpster, worth US$45k new in today's money.

Done.
Thank you. That is a master piece of German electrical engineering.
The way the things designed you would think it was for NASA.
I did not hear "A thing of beauty is a joy forever"
Your style is appreciated 👍
They did bodge the power on button.😅
It would be great to hear some history of the creation of that device, anybody?
These days this would be a simple meter to calibrate/measure a single Pair-Bonding-VDSL connection.
I sure hope that some of the original designers of this marvel of product design are still alive and can see and understand this video. All the hats off to the team, this is some of the most amazing product design jobs I've ever seen! The cans, the modules, the HINGES, the die cast sides.
I'll need to clean my desk now…
All, but A few SOE, metal-cased transistors…
And the low-passes… Elliptic !!!!
Dave. This is a jewel !!!!! Please give it a second life !!!! I'm jealous !
The Germans are masters of electronics shame KORTING or LUXER is not a thing anymore
It looks like space odasy on you picture
Dave sounds like a kid at Christmas pulling this thing apart.
It's pornografic! And this is german porn 😉
I need some of them can type relays for ham radio use to switch filters can you send me some please
Hi Dave, just watched that video on the plane. Loved every second of it but when you commented on the flathead screw "that's a bit rude" I laughed so hard🤣🤣.
I have got one of these spm19. I will hook it up to a piece of wire and scan the band see what I get… Thanks for that great video and beautiful pictures.
Meh, the Fluke and HP versions of this are even more fantastic in construction. Instead of tin cans, they have thick milled out aluminum modules with like thirty screws holding down the tops. Dozens of SMA coax pipes connecting them up. They make this one look like a one hung low knock off.
oh man. this is god's voltmeter
That thing needs to be put in a museum. Absolutely beautiful work!
Oh Dave am I you can play Electronic porn like this!
They don't make it like that anymore!!!
"Hickledy pickledy" will now be added to my vocabulary.
Gossen i worked there as an intern early in my studies.Sadly gone now.
Yes, but with all that metal and small consolidated compartments, how many days does this take to thermally saturate to meet its cal??
And this is why dumpster diving in the industrial park is a good idea.
I would never get tired of looking at that. Fantasy Island. Thank You So Very Much.
