DynaSweep 1070

Hi all,

I'm new here, you can see my post in vintage rectangle crts, I am beginning a long process of learning to restore a 1957 RCA 'Norman' corner console tv, chassis KCS116C.

I found a DynaSweep 1070 and have no idea what to do with it.

What does it measure? What are the capabilities?

Much thanks!

Damned if I know! What I do know is that I either have one, or had one and pitched it some years back. It might be under a bench at my shop; I'll check later today when I see if my building has been looted...

I'll also ask my older brother. If we had one, he'll have used it.

What I can tell you though is that B&K equipment, like Sencore, was purposely built to help troubleshoot specific equipment, and was more often than not, quite useful. Instead of assembling a bench full of lab equipment, a device like this would package several items into one chassis. Not as good as lab equipment certainly, but handy.

I'll report back later.

John

The 1070 is the first in a series of instruments that were called TV Analysts. CORRECTION: The model 1000 was first.
I think the series went 1075, 1076, 1077 and 1077B. As time went on each one had more capabilities than the last one. The 1077s had some solid state circuits and more color capabilities. I am not sure the 1070 had any color capabilities. The instruments all generated a NTSC (analog) video signal.
In addition, later models at least, sourced drive signals for vertical and horizontal sweep. All of those could drive tube circuits, in addition the later models could drive transistor TV circuits. There is also an audio test signal.
Since the video image comes from a large "slide" the early models were also marketed to TV stores as a source for TV demonstration and advertising using a custom slide.

The manual is tough to find, but here is a link that works:

http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/b&k/1070/

I know I have one or had one. Since we also bought a 1077B in the 70s, it was probably put in storage.

Looks like I got something wrong. This model doesn't seem like it has the scanner in it that uses the test pattern slide. This one only has the drive signals and a few other test signals.
With something this old you probably would need the service info for it and schematic because the 1070 probably isn't in full working order.
I have a 1075 and the schematic in the manual looks like it is hand drawn.
This shows what the 1077B is like.
