Applications

Start-stop speed converters were used in military telecom and teletype systems to adapt data transmission rates between incompatible equipment. The CV-2551/FSA-82 supported the FSA-82 system architecture and functioned as a bridge for asynchronous data conversion in secure military communications networks. These units typically integrated into larger telecom infrastructure racks alongside multiplexers and line conditioning equipment.

Condition: For Parts or Not Working
This Tele-Signal 684A CV-2551/FSA-82 Start-Stop Speed Converter is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair. Image 4 clearly shows a military UNSERVICEABLE (CONDEMNED) tag affixed to the unit — Condition Code HX, signed by Inspector Gutierrez and dated 23 January 1996 — indicating the unit was officially condemned by the military at that time. It has not been tested or evaluated at our facility, and no functionality is guaranteed. The metal chassis shows age and handling wear consistent with its military service history. The interior (visible in Image 5) shows hand-wired circuit assemblies intact, with no obviously missing components visible. Please review all photos carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
