Description
Soltec 3414 Oscillograph Chart Recorder TF01630-001 Delco 4-Channel For Parts
The Soltec Model 3414 is a multi-channel oscillograph strip chart recorder manufactured by Soltec Corporation of Sun Valley, California. This unit carries part number TF01630-001 and was produced for Delco Systems Operations, the defense and aerospace instrumentation division of General Motors. It is a benchtop analog data recorder designed to produce continuous paper-strip traces of multiple analog input signals simultaneously, providing a permanent visual record of time-varying voltages.

Applications
Oscillograph strip chart recorders like the Soltec 3414 were standard data acquisition instruments in aerospace, defense, automotive, and industrial test environments from the 1970s through the 1990s. They were used wherever engineers needed a continuous, time-stamped paper record of analog signals — vibration, pressure, voltage, current, or temperature — from multiple channels at once. Delco Systems Operations used such instruments in vehicle dynamics, inertial guidance, and military systems testing. The Soltec brand was well regarded in the scientific and government-contract instrumentation market, and the Model 3414's four-channel layout with independently adjustable sensitivity per channel made it suited to comparative multi-signal recording tasks. Strip chart recorders of this type have been largely replaced by digital data acquisition systems, but they remain sought after by laboratories, collectors, and technicians maintaining period-correct test setups, as well as by parts buyers needing channel amplifier boards, paper drive mechanisms, or front-panel assemblies for other Soltec instruments.
This Soltec Model 3414 Oscillograph Chart Recorder (P/N TF01630-001) is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair. We have not tested or verified its functionality, and it is not guaranteed to be in working order. The unit is physically complete with all four channel amplifier modules present and seated in the card cage, a paper roll loaded in the mechanism, and the front-panel controls intact. The exterior shows general wear consistent with age — the enclosure has scuffs, paint loss, and surface soiling, most visible on the side and top panels. The data plate on the back has some peeling. The internal boards and wiring appear intact and undamaged from what is visible in the photos. This unit may be a useful source of channel amplifier boards, the recording mechanism, front-panel assemblies, or other components. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
