Unpainted aluminum waveguide. Base model number is GA2301 with a (hard to read) suffix of -2-8.35 or perhaps -2-9.35. This elbow is elongated on one of the two sides. The other side is very short, possibly minimum length for a 90-degree design.

Microwave-tested by Cline Innovations. Astex 1.5kW microwave generator with both front panel control (local) and computer control (local) options. Previously used for corporate R&D. Rack-mounted power supply is in excellent condition and includes upgrades including larger (more reliable) high voltage cable & connector design.

Older vintage Astex WR284 waveguide component with integrated microwave coupler. Cline Innovations notes indicate that the standard factory-set "pick-up" for this coupler type is 50dB. Commonly used with Astex S-1000, S-1000i, S-1500 and S-1500i microwave generators. The coupler has an SMA connector which is typically mounted to an Alan Industries Diode.

Water-cooled 1kW magnetron head with stainless steel enclosure. Goods look to be in new condition. They have not been tested due to lack of a compatible power supply at Cline Innovations. WR284 waveguide output.

Pre-owned manual 3-stub tuner equipped with WR284 rectangular waveguide and precision dials. This tuner design is intended for use with 2.45GHz microwaves. Astex sold tuners of this type for use on Astex generators rated for outputs of up to 5kW. Actual rating can be clarified at the time of sale based on your application details. The goods can be used on Astex (now MKS Instruments) as well as other brands of microwave generators with waveguide output including WR284, WR340, WR430. Refurbished as needed to ensure mechanical and electromagnetic functionality. These dials can age or get jammed due to impact. Cline Innovations replaces dials and components as needed during refurbishment. Other sellers may not.

Switching power supply intended to condition power for a Sairem remote magnetron head. 100% digital architecture. 7" color TFT display and local control interface. This versatile power supply design includes both front panel (Local) as well as computer (Remote) control options making it a good choice for research as well as industrial applications. Cline Innovations does not currently have inventory of the compatible Sairem magnetron head necessary for testing, but 3rd party testing may be possible. This power supply could be used as a backup unit or a suitable magnetron head could be procured. Detailed photos can be provided upon request.

Astex WR340 black-painted aluminum waveguide component with 2 integrated directional couplers. Each coupler is equipped with an N-type connection for power measurement. The couplers are oriented in opposite directions so that one can measure forward power and the other can measure reflected power. This part was last calibrated on 1-6-14 and likely needs recalibration. Cline Innovations may be in a position to coordinate recalibration at the time of sale. The lower right side of photo 1of3 shows that some paint scuffing has taken place on the outside of the waveguide. This is a superficial blemish and the item is in Very Good physical condition.

Cline Innovations owns multiple IPX power supplies and other goods related to vintage Astex RF heated stages. Please don't hesitate to contact Cline Innovations if you need support to maintain your system, are seeking a spare power supply, feel you need a power supply repair, etc.

Cline Innovations has inventory of hardware related to the Astex AX2040 microwave generator. Please don't hesitate to contact Cline Innovations if you are in need of components, magnetron tubes, or are seeking a complete generator set.

Water-cooled magnetron head, likely intended for OEM (Matrix Axcelis) integrated microwave systems. Photos can be provided upon request.

Magnetron head with stainless steel enclosure. This MH3.0W-SL is rated for 3.0kW max microwave output. Likely compatible with SM1050D and SM1050T power supplies made by Alter. Cline Innovations can assist in confirming compatibility at the time of purchase including review of connection type, internal details, etc. NOTE: Actual item offered may not be the same serial number as the one in the photo, but s/n is similar vintage and condition is like new.
