Power supply was also my first thought, but Nixies light up and if I
try hard, I can change some digits. Time base fault sounds like a

I have already emailed k5cm asking if he has the manual

The have a few manuals online:
http://www.ietlabs.com/pdf/Manuals/index.html
but not the GR1192B. *Send them email as I'm sure they have a printed
copy in the archives that only needs to be scanned. *Maybe just the
schematic and block diagram.

I did get to ietlabs site in my first searches. Never thought of
mailing them for a scan, though. I'll give them a try.

Note: *It's a lab, not a museum.

I don't think 20-30 year old HP's are at all museum pieces - they are

Cool. *One question. *Is the frequency range of the Eico the same as
the Heathkit ranges that I listed? *I'm curious.

Eico 710 has 8 coils starting below AM BC band:
L1 0.4 - 0.7
L2 0.7-1.38
L3 1.38-2.9
L3 2.9-7.5
L4 7.5-18
L5 18-42
L6 42-100
L7 100-250
