Austron Model 1210D-03
I have an Austron 1210D-03 that has been in my possession since 1990.
I did some initial testing with it during my Electronics BA, but not being
involved at the levels you are, I no longer have need for it.
I started to take it apart yesterday to see what components I could salvage,
but decided to see if I could put it to better use and make a few dollars at
the same time.
- Does anyone know what this might be worth (condition specific of course)?
- Would anyone here be interested in the unit?
- I thought about posting it on Craigs List or eBay, but ran across your
group and thought I would stop here first.
I hope it is OK to post this type of request/questions in your forum, I read
the general rules and did not see any text on the sale of items.
I can provide more information if needed and photos as well.
If there is no interest, I will tear the unit down for scrap parts.
Thanks and best regards,
Nick Soefje

Well take a look at this before you tear it down.

As I used to work for Austron, I would be interested in acquiring this if in
original state. Price would depend on condition and whether working.

Speaking of things Austron I have a ham friend in the Dallas
area who has an Austron 2200 Loran/GPS time and frequency box with
rubidium oscillator for which he needs a manual with schematics. He
also needs (more desperately) a set of EPROM images (he can burn EPROMS)
for the control processor and maybe the GPS receiver as the set he has
has bad bits in the Loran control program and does not seem to work for
GPS either (there may be a date rollover fix needed).
He is currently just using the rubidium as offset by whatever
was left as a frequency correction in the EEPROM, but it would really be
nice to try to get the whole thing working if possible. He thinks the
GPS possibly works when hooked to an antenna and knows the rubidium
works, so probably the problem is mostly the garbled EPROM contents
(and a lack of documentation of the setup procedures).
Any leads would be appreciated....

Have a bunch of old Austron manuals left but unfortunately can't help you on
that one.
Good luck!
