Video Analyzer vs Sweep/Marker Generater

[K M]

I was wondering how effective it was to use the "Bar Sweep" function
of a video analyzer instead of the old way of using sweep/marker
generators to align a tv IF.
What got me thinking about this was something I ran into at the flea
market yesterday. A guy had two Sencore VA-48's and one VA-62A. He
want me to make a package offer for all three items. He wouldn't name
a price, and wouldn't give any clue as to what he wanted (other than
the fact that they sold for thousands when they were new). I got
distracted by some laptops he was selling, but he wanted top dollar,
and I ended up not getting any of the items. I don't know how useful
the video analyzers would be with the limited amount of tv work I do
these days, and I expect he was looking for something in the hundreds
of dollars neighborhood.

All three units for "hundreds of dollars......"
.......this would be a terrific bargain if they are in working order.
The real issue is that equipment like this is only the most useful to
experienced and knowledgeable techs that can take full advantage of all the
features and performance of the test equipment..... and knows how to operate
the test equipment and to interpret the test results .... and to convert
that information into an actual, useful and successful repair
ocedure. --
