B&K 1076 TV analyst
 
well I got a BK 1076 analyst on the way...

I dont think it has any transprancies so the plan is to print a indanhead test pattern on a laser printer to some clear plastic, I think that can be done.

That is of course if the 1076 is not a basket case.

I will post some pics when I get it.

Dave, I was recently given three BK 1077 Analysts, included were three slides, the standard test pattern like my avatar and a couple others.

I've made a High Res scan of you can DL and possibly print to a piece of clear mylar:

It should be the actual size so if you print it as is it should be right, you might have to trim the edges a little.

I tested it, it print's fine from Photoshop but not from Windows picture viewer.

Since I don't know what you will be using I made a pdf file from it, it should print fine from Adobe reader.

I should warn you, these are large, 10-11 meg.

B&K 1076 Slides
 
Eric,

Will you please upload the other two slides, dots & cross-hatch, for the 1076.

THX

Thx Eric, I am looking forward to playing with this.

Eric H 03-31-2010 08:24 AM

I can scan the others tonight possibly.

3Guncolor 03-31-2010 08:32 PM

I really need the other two as well. Please scan. Many thanks.

Eric H 03-31-2010 10:18 PM

Here are the other two in pdf format.

I couldn't help but notice on those scans how relatively crudely the artwork seems to hav been prepared. (I assume the scans are accurate reproductions.) I'll have to check the few slides I have to see if they're similarly rough. I guess that must have been considered "good enough."

Eric H 03-31-2010 11:35 PM

The scans look pretty much identical to the slides.
They have some imperfections because they're old and have been used a lot, but also if you are looking at them in Adobe at 295% it really brings out the issues.
Scale it back or print it to scale and it they look OK.

The small scratches and blemishes around the edges don't really matter because only the center part is scanned by the Analyst.

Eric-

Thank you for posting those slides. I hope you don't mind, I downloaded them as well, hoping I get a 1076 or 1077 in the future. Years ago, I had two B&K Dynascans (the very early equivalent of the Analysts, I think), but they were stolen before I could restore either one. I had always wondered where the name Dynascan came from, until I saw those units.

Eric,

Thanks for the scans.

It'd probably be pretty easy to Photoshop the Indian Head pattern in to one of these also if you wanted something a little different.
As long as the proportions are correct it should work.

I don't think the resolution of the B&K or the TV is critical enough to pick up on the small imperfections.

Well I got it, better than I expected (that's rare off ebay), anyhoo it looks completly untouched, no hack repairs. So I will start with a basic check of the filter caps (there are a couple cans mounted under the chassis) and there are a few single electros (will not even bother to check those just replace). I could see no trauma (breakage or burnage) so looking good so far.

No rust at all and the overall condition would be good. Handles are intact, one knob has some broken edges but not anything that would effect use.

It has 2 6dq6's so I hope they are ok (I have spares if needed).

There are no cables of course and there is a place for a HV prob, not sure what that is all about. Very solid build I love the way this old vintage test gear was made, looks like it was built to LAST...

The fly looked ok (not burnt or anything like that).
