Small repair project this morning. This is a Northern Electronics UV141 UV EPROM eraser. All it needed was a bit of a clean and some fresh ESD foam. The bulb inside looks almost new. Full ballast and starter setup. I might swap in an electronic starter from one of the old fittings in the garage - they tend to go easier on the tubes.

Edit: it also needed some fresh rubber feet.

@philpem I used that exact model for years in a previous job 🙂

@galooph hopefully it's reliable! All this one needed was four rubber feet and a clean

@philpem It was! It got a lot of use, too, with ST62T25 microcontrollers. I had three windowed devices so when I was coding, there was always at least one getting erased at any one time 😀

@galooph ah yes, crash-burn debugging... "the second chip is in the programmer as soon as the first program crashes" :)
