FS - Quantum Data 801GG Pattern Generator

For sale is my Quantum Data 801GG Pattern Generator. Those of you who are still diehard CRT fans will know what this is. It's a high-bandwidth signal generator that happens to be compatible with WinDAS. Simply connect a serial cable to a computer running WinDAS, configure WinDAS (you tell it which COM port the generator is using), select the 801 option and away you go!

I've had it for the last few years, and WinDAS compatibility was the reason I bought it. I used to calibrate many displays, including the venerable FW-900. Sadly, I'm going to be moving to a new house so most of my CRT stuff is going to have to go.

Pictures will be coming shortly, but as far as I can figure, everything works correctly on it. I say this because the generator has multiple outputs (Sun, Mac, GPID) that I cannot test because I don't have equipment that interfaces with it. But the RGBHV BNC connectors and VGA connector works just fine (which is all you really care about anyways), and of course - the serial interface (for WinDAS functionality) works fine.

Cosmetically it's in decent shape, with a couple of dings here and there - nothing serious. The LCD screen has a crack and a "splotch" on it, but it's pretty small and doesn't adversely affect readability. All in all, it's a tank of a machine, and while I hate to get rid of it, I'm downsizing my entire setup so it has to go.

I would like to get $150 shipped for it, but I'm open to offers as well. For full WinDAS compatibility you will need a serial cable and possibly a serial-to-usb interface, neither of which are included.

Thanks for reading and God bless.

Bump - pictures should be in this evening.

WOW ! A holy grail from a (almost) forgotten age.

I remember wanting this in the CRT epoch.
