Default Venner TSA 3436/2 service info

Hi Folks

I thought I would put this request in this section to see if can get any joy!

I bought a Venner TSA 3436/2 at a local auction.
Has anybody got a service manual or any service info for calibrating each EAC Digivisor digit indicator.

Or even a user manual ......

Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Dave

Good morning, Karl

Thanks, but I've tried Mauritron. It's listed, but he doesn't have it in stock at the moment.

If anyone has a user manual and/or a service manual, which they're willing to scan or photocopy ......

All costs met, of course.

Best regards

Dave

I don't have one of these but do have a few saved pictures from the web, I have noticed there doesn't seem to be much information around for these early transistor counters from Venner.

Have you tried following the instructions listed on the back panel for adjusting the displays.

If that doesn't work then I guess you won't be able to do much without a service manual.

Hi Karl
Thanks for that - I followed the link and it ended up being the Mauritron site!

So I guess I'll have to wait until Mauritron gets one in stock.

Thanks, Dragonser for the background info - most interesting.

Thanks, David. I tried using the instructions on the back but am struggling to get a decent image on one of the Digivisor displays after changing its bulb.

I will persevere!

Thanks to all.

Dave
