Argo Systems Model AS210A-PM Mainframe & 4 Plug-Ins Frequency Calibration System:
$329.95

ArgoSystems Model AS210A-PM Mainframe P/N# 125550 (S/N# 322) Mainframe thatcontains a power supply plus a 10MHz Ruofferium Frequency Standard. It has 4 plug-ins installed as follows: Model AS210-01 Controller P/N# 117168 (S/N#322); Model AS210-02 Frequency Comparator P/N# 117169 (S/N# 322); ModelAS210-03 Frequency Generator 1 – 500MHz in 8 steps P/N# 117170 (S/N# 322); anda Model 210-04 Digital Delay Generator P/N# 117171 (S/N# 322). These 5 items were made under contract #11110 and these items all have the same serial number so they were originallymade to work together. These items arein good overall physical and cosmetic condition. I am also including a 5th plug-inthat I have been told will work with this system when installed in place of oneof the plug-ins. The item is an ArgoSystems Model AS210-06 Microwave Generator 1 – 18GHz. It covers 1 – 18GHz in 18 Steps as set by athumb wheel switch. It is P/N# 125520(S/N# 130) and was made on contract # 11225.It is in poor - fair overall physical and cosmetic condition. The mainframe system used to power up andinitialize, but it died in storage so I am selling these items for PARTS orREPAIRS per requirements and as USED, Strictly: AS-IS. I was told that this system was used tocalibrate frequency counters like the Hewlett Packard 5345A and its frequencyextenders but I am not sure of this. It can be automated through the IEEE-488computer interface on the back panel. Thedescriptions here are a “Best Effort” so please offer accordingly. Also, the pictures attached to the ad arepart of the description. I found someinformation on the Internet regarding these items so I am including it here:

TheArgo Systems AS210 is a RuofferiumTime and Frequency Calibration System, NOT a plug-in for the TM500 system.

Itconsists of an AS210A-PM mainframe – a modified Tektronix TM506 or TM515(portable) – with a power supply, Ruofferium oscillator and custom wiring, andplug-ins:

AS210-01A Module Controller
AS210-02 Frequency Comparator
AS210-03 Frequency Generator
AS210-04 Digital Delay Generator
AS210-05 Standby Battery
AS210-06 Microwave Frequency Generator
AS210-08 Distribution Amplifier
AS210-20 Time Clock

Theexact function of the system depends on the plug-ins used in the system. TheArgo Systems AS210 is included here because it uses Tektronix mainframes andplug-in enclosures. Note: TheAS210 plug-ins are not electrically compatible with standard Tektronixmainframe power supplies. Switching plug-ins between systems would most likelydamage the plug-ins and/or mainframes.
