The CAT box shares the same signature generation as the, Fluke Signature Voltmeter, HP and K-K units. I have seen reports that Fluke went off on a tangent with the Fluke 9010A, but I am not sure having not used the Signature aspect of that device yet. Too much fun figuring out the rest of its' features. John :-#)# At 11:27 AM 1/14/2000 -0500, you wrote:

Ok, thanks. I guess it really is the right one to go after. Is it true that the it reports the same signature as a cat box? I've heard two different stories, so I wasn't sure what to believe :)

Thanks again

As far as I know - any signature analyzer should do fine. The HP 5004A has the most documentation available online as far as troubleshooting video game boards.

I bought the HP 5004a for $100 although you may see it for slightly less on ebay. I got mine simply because most of the documentation on using the Cinematronics exorsizor mentions this particular model.

Just my 2 cents.

I have decided that I should get a Sig. Analyzer. What is the one to get? I keep seeing people talk about the HP 5004A, is that was I should be targeting? I'm sorry if this has been discussed to death already, I just now finally joined this list. Also, what should I expect to pay for one?

Thanks, Jon
