At one point we had 3 crash carts with PR57, VA62, SC61
plus a few more to boot. All but one set was from shop buy outs
such as the W.T. Grants service center. Sold most it off over
a time & got back the $$ spent just in Sencore stuff.
Not always the highest quality but all made to be 10 times
more useful so they sold LOTS of them.
Most failures were cold joints & be sure to keep the RF
output TIGHT or it will break a special diode.
CRT checkers went through cables ever 3-4 years & PR57's
sockets wore out.
