From: Don Collie To: hp_agilent_equipment@... Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 7:44 PM Subject: Re: [hp_agilent_equipment] 8555A spares Hi Chris, All noted. I will give your display board the treatment over Christmas. We are going to do an overnight trip to Milford Sound [Red boat cruise], but I hope to find time in between opening presents for you :-) The cause of damage to the display board might be due to insulation failure in the 3 conductor "ribbon" that connects the EHT and [Shock!, Horror!] storage grids to their respective circuits. Mine has started to "splat" alarmingly, so I`m going to replace the ribbon with EHT wire [the Teflon inner from some 1/8 inch Teflon coax - I`ve tested it to 13kV D.C.], and REAL wire for the grids, before I power the thing up again. After I`ve gone over your board [and after I`ve fixed the EHT problem in my unit !], I will fit your board in my 141T, to check that it goes OK, and then return it to you good as new. I`ll keep you posted! Have a good one Chris, and your family to! ...................... from the Collies! [Attachment : Meriam(wife), Philip, Joanna (#1 daughter), Jacqueline(#2), and yours truely]...............................................Don. P.S. I really apperciate those bits, Chris. P.P.S. : Have you `scoped and measured the 4 PSU rails? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris van Lint" <chrisvanlint@...> To: <hp_agilent_equipment@...> Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 5:30 PM Subject: [hp_agilent_equipment] 8555A spares > Hi Don, > > The box with the bits and pieces was delivered to the post office this > morning and should be on the way to you.
