Re: HP 8341A sucessfully FIXED!

Hi Tobias,
Great job and a great write-up to go with it, thanks for sharing your work.
Your story reminded me of something I learned from my first ever boss after I left school (over 50 years ago now - yikes!) he was an electronics engineer in the Radio Astronomy group at Cambridge and whenever we had to fix things that looked like they were 'no user serviceable parts inside' he would pick up a screwdriver, wrench or whatever and say "Well now, it didn't grow like that did it?" and would start taking it apart and more often than not he would fix it! I have followed that approach myself over the years and generally succeeded more often than failed too - and even when I fail I learn something!
Congratulations again on that fix!
Regards, Adrian

Hi all,
probably some of you have seen that I had some problems with a 8341A. It was indeed the YTO which failed! But, I was incredibly lucky to fix the YTO.
I also did a front panel RF output retrofit on my machine.
Some pics of the YTO and stuff can be found on my page, if someone is interested :-)
Now I can proceed to my next project, a 5342A frequency counter (hopefully not a blown sampler) and a 8568B spectrum analyzer with blurry focus on the graticule.
Best
Tobias, HB9FSX
