I am seeking Main Control Boards, also known as Mother Boards, and Power boards for Varian Spectraa 5 Atomic Adsorption Spectrometer, commonly called Varian Spectra 5 AAS.
This model of spectrometer was sold from the mid 1980s to around 2000.
In 2010 Varian was taken over by Agilent who immediately stopped supporting the existing units, they wanted to sell new model units rather than supply parts for existing units such as Spectra 5.
I am seeking at least 2 power boards and 5 mother boards for these units, I will take more if available.
The last boards I purchased cost $US 700 each plus freight, I am willing to pay that much for new boards and half that for used but still working boards.
There are the occasional Spectra 5 units for sale, I do not want the full unit but would buy the boards from any old units which were available.
Probably the best source of boards is from Varian agents who were active up to 2010, some of them may have old stock of boards sitting in a back room.
These agents may also be able to give leads to clients who used Spectra 5 units and would have had spare boards, you may be able to purchase these and resell them to me or act as a commission agent for these boards.
These boards were manufactured in Australia, US, Singapore and Malaysia depending on where labour was cheapest at the time.
Payment by international transfer to your preferred account or other method you may prefer.
The top photos are of a power board and code.
The middle photos are of the Spectra 5 unit.
The bottom photos are of a main control board and code.
PM me if you can locate any of these boards.
Thank you,
Deano
