Re: ShibaSoku CB531A1 color bar generator— Manual? Recognize where this was used in NYC

[Ted Langdell]

Hi Len,

Thanks for the info. Sounds like you might have some experience with this particular generator.

Do you remember where in the ABC New York facilities this room was located? I would anticipate that many remodels have occurred since then.

It works, but takes a while to kind a get to the point where output viewed on a vector scope and wait for monitor are what one would expect.

I think perhaps capacitors have seen better days.

It was something I picked up as a test signal generator moons ago and since I have some other replacements for it. But it's good to know the history behind it. And I think it may have an ABC asset tag on it somewhere.

Hope you're having a good morning without any major weather issues. A little foggy here in Northern California. Meeting my colleague Ken Zin to pick up some three-quarter inch VTR belts and get them off to some other customers before I head off to a trade show in San Francisco I need to learn some things from.

And even if you find the manual, I doubt it would be as helpful a you might wish as it appeared to be translated directly from the Japanese. “Command to make a Light Setting” and “Command to make a Lead Setting” is forever ingrained in my mind.
