Description
Sloan Technology Five/Ten E.B. Power Supply Cat 000146 w/ Evaporator
The Sloan Technology Five/Ten is an electron beam (E.B.) power supply designed for use with vacuum deposition systems. It provides high-voltage power to drive an electron beam gun for thin-film evaporation processes, with dual-source control capability. The unit is manufactured by Sloan Technology Corp. of Santa Barbara, California, a manufacturer historically associated with vacuum coating and thin-film deposition instrumentation. This lot is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair — it has broken parts and is not in working condition.

Applications
Electron beam power supplies of this type are used in physical vapor deposition (PVD) systems, specifically for e-beam evaporation of metals and dielectrics onto substrates in a vacuum chamber. The Five/Ten designation refers to the dual-source capability — allowing sequential or independent evaporation from two material pockets within the multi-pocket evaporator. This class of equipment was commonly deployed in research and production thin-film coating systems for optics, semiconductors, and hard-coating applications. Sloan Technology was a well-known supplier of evaporation sources and controls to university labs and industrial vacuum coating lines from the 1960s through the 1980s. This unit would be of interest to researchers, vacuum system integrators, or technicians seeking spare parts, the evaporator assembly, the Eimac Y-512B tube, or the feedthrough hardware for compatible systems.
This Sloan Technology Five/Ten E.B. (Electron Beam) Power Supply, Catalog 000146, is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair. The unit has broken parts and is not in working condition. Interior inspection reveals the high-voltage section is open and accessible; visible damage includes burned and frayed wiring at the evaporator feedthrough cable ends. The Eimac Y-512B electron gun tube is present inside the chassis. The multi-pocket evaporator assembly and feedthrough shaft are included with the lot. The front panel, chassis, and internal transformer appear physically intact but the unit has not been tested and no functionality is guaranteed. This item is offered strictly for parts, salvage, or repair — it is not represented as functional. Please view our photo set carefully and contact us if you have any questions.
