Wanted - Artouste Mk.123 APU Test Box

I am part of the engineering team down at Dunsfold that maintains VC10 K. Mk 3 ZA150 in a taxiable condition. Today, for the first time since we replaced the APU last year it has failed to start.

I was wondering (hoping) that someone would know where we can lay our hands on an Artouste test box so we can understand what is happening just before it auto-shuts down during the start cycle

Paul

Must admit I never used the test set in all the years I worked on them.
