Up for bid is a Cushman CE-3 Communications Monitor, once considered the standard for servicing 2-way radios. Although this unit was last calibrated in 1993, I checked it against another currently calibrated service monitor and the frequency is right on. And receiving the National Weather Service, it shows them perfectly on-frequency. The signal generator level may be a bit low but this is an easy lab adjustment.
This unit comes with the oscilloscope module, broadband mixer, decade divider, and pre-selector module, plus service manuals for the mainframe and each plug-in (except the divider). There are 2 versions of the 20dB attenuator, that protect the monitor from accidental transmission, both of which work. The earlier version requires a complete rebuild after such a mistake, while the later one only needs fuse replacement. There’s a generous supply of resistors and fuses for both pads. Finally, this unit has the original cover—how many can say that?
“The Cushman” had been on the job several years even when I started (and I’m getting ready to retire!) As an operating antique, the CE-3 can be either a practical addition to your stable of test equipment or a curiosity item to give your shop a touch of retro.
We will ship if you arrange pick-up with a shipper. Equipment will be packed in 2 boxes with a total weight of about 75 pounds.
