Re: Are plotters still useful?
For instruments that use an HPIB plotter, a Prologix USB-HPIB adapter and John Miles' 7470 program. Once the plot is in your computer you can then print it on any printer your computer works with, or

Re: 8558B centre frequency wildly unstable above 1250MHz
Congratulations Dick! It might be helpful to the rest of us to know the details of how you injected the cleaner. Did you drill a hole into the case? Or??? Cheers! Greg

Are plotters still useful?
What do you use to record outputs from HP test equipment? I have two plotters (7045B single & 7046B dual pen) but I simply use my camera to photograph the screen. The thought of ink and paper is a

Re: 8558B centre frequency wildly unstable above 1250MHz
Found that a new Bourns 10 turn pot is rather expensive so took the risk of injecting a little jungle juice into it. Now the 8558B is back to normal. I love simple faults. Dick G4BBH

Re: 8558B centre frequency wildly unstable above 1250MHz
Bang on Greg. Slid the plug-in forward and measured the pot as it is very easy to access. Looks as if I will have to locate another. It looks like a standard Bourns 10 turn job but will consult the

8558B centre frequency wildly unstable above 1250MHz
I have an 8558B which becomes totally unstable if the centre frequency is set above about 1250MHz at any span setting. If the span is sufficiently wide it is clear that the SA it is covering perfectly

Re: HP436A LED Display Driver IC - HP1820-1361 - 9374DC - Where to get?
You might try Tanner Electronics in Dallas. Jimmy Tanner used to carry many of the old logic families, and he might still have some around. I think he still has a website, but you will have to phone

ops, then the cross reference floating around on the internet isn't at all accurate. You can try the NTE8374 equivalent or try to adapt a CD4511 (which is BCD latch/decoder/driver, you'd need to make

Re: HP436A LED Display Driver IC - HP1820-1361 - 9374DC - Where to get?
According to the 436 manual, 1820-1361 is a Fairchild 9374DC. From the schematic it looks like some BCD to 7 segment decoder. Quite a different beast then the 75491 which seems to be just 4 drivers.
