B&K 415

[blue_lateral]

I bought a B&k 415 sweep and marker generator on ebay a couple of weeks ago. It finally arrived yesterday. I havent tried to align anything with it yet, but spent this afternoon sorting it out. All the markers oscillators seemed to work except the lowest one which was intermittent. I re-soldered all the connections in that oscillator. Works fine now. One of the 3 bias boxes doesnt work, has a bad pot. I guess i don't really need all 3 to work, but it would be nice to fix it, if i can find a pot like that. It is wirewound, probably 2k.

Does anyone on here use a 415? It came with a book, but there must have been 2 books. The one I have is a "quick setup guide", about 8 pages long. I have since figured out there is another book that is much larger. Does anyone have this book that they would sell or loan (so I can photocopy) or something?

It has a big rats nest of leads, but I suspect not everything it came with. Did these come with demod probes and matching pads? The only "special" lead I have is the one that goes from the sweep output to the mixer. It looks like a switchable balun.
