- If size is not too important, I'd consider used central office toll
- test gear. I know of at least two companies that buy and sell this
- stuff that they get from the telco's as surplus from C.O. upgrades.
- Their are also instrument resale companies that sell at hamfests that
- carry used telco C.O. test equipment.
-
- Pricing is very flexible. Much of the equipment is W.E., Northeast
- Elecronics, H.P., W&G and the like. Most of the units are -48 VDC
- powered (rather than powered from 110 VAC). Its a good idea to know
- what you want and something about the models/specs. The sellers don't
- know very much about this stuff, they're just salvage brokers. I've
- seen a lot of the Northeast and HP MF test units for sale for $100 to
- $400.
