Description

Polarad TSA-W Spectrum Analyzer STU-2 BW RF Tuning Unit DU-2 910-4560 MC

The Polarad TSA-W is a vintage spectrum analyzer system manufactured by Polarad Electronic Instruments of Long Island City, New York. This listing includes the complete two-unit system: the STU-2 BW RF Tuning Unit, which covers a frequency range of 910 to 4560 megacycles (MC), and the DU-2 Display Unit, which provides the CRT-based visual readout. The system is mounted on a wheeled dolly and is being sold as-is for parts or repair, as it could not be fully tested at our facility.

    Condition: For Parts or Not Working
    This Polarad TSA-W Spectrum Analyzer system — comprising the STU-2 BW RF Tuning Unit and DU-2 Display Unit — is being sold as-is for parts or repair. We were unable to fully test this system at our facility, so no functionality is guaranteed. The unit is in vintage used condition with paint wear and chips on the cabinet exterior (visible on the rear and lower panels), though the front panels and controls appear intact and the CRT screen shows no obvious damage. Internal components are accessible and visible — the chassis opens to reveal a large cylindrical cavity/waveguide assembly and internal wiring. Two 6.25A fuses are present at the rear power input. This system requires freight shipping due to its size and weight (~133 lbs). Please review all photos carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
