Motorola R2001C service monitor
This a Motorola R2001C Service Monitor. It has been in my personal inventory. I have used it to service many radio systems. Although it is fully functional I began a full restoration of the device several years ago. I no longer need it and do not have the time to finish up the few things that it would need to be in perfect shape.
It is capable of many measurements and tests. Some of it's features include Spectrum Analyzer, rated bandwidth of 1 Mhz to 999.9999 Mhz, Modulation modes of AM, narrow and wide FM, and SSB, Duplex generator, CTCSS and DPL encode/decode, multi-tone signal generation, modulation oscilloscope, RF power wattmeter, deviation and frequency error alarms, RF Scan and direct frequency input. The receiver sensitivity is good and the audio is loud and clear.
I have made several improvements to it. I replaced the CRT Display tube with a new one from Motorola. I paid $1300.00 the CRT. After I installed it, I used the Service Monitor for a very short time. The CRT has only 5 Hours of Total Run Time on it. After that I aquired another Service Monitor and this one has been in storage ever since. So the CRT is essentially new (try to find a similar unit that can make that claim). I also put on new set of soft rubber feet on the bottom (better than original in my opinion). I painted the case with "hammered finish" enamel paint.
There are a few minor issues I would like to mention so you know what you are getting. The Top cover panel has a small buckle or warp on it. You can see it in photo #10. There is no internal damage to the chassis. On the back panel where one of the plastic feet are (for stand-up operation) the panel in bent in slightly. All of the internal and external parts in that area are not damaged. The parts could be removed and the panel straightened out.It is very slight and I never had a problem with it. The only other known minor problem is that the concentric Display Focus control pot is a bit flaky. It should be replaced. It still works, you just have to a little gentle and patient. Once you achieve a focus it stays put as you can see in the pictures.
NOT INCLUDED IS: any wattmeter slugs, other cables, antennas, manuals or a power cord. (It uses a standard IEC power cord like your computer uses).
I have described everything I know about this unit to the best of my knowledge. As you can see my statements are consistent with the pictures.
