Re: HP200CD oscillator
Thanks for this very good explanation. In addition to the points you made, I have read the oil fill was often complete, and hydrostatic force would test the integrety of the plastic. Shrinkage and

Re: HP200CD oscillator
BB capacitors were molded as well as the technology of the day would allow... That is not why they cracked. The problem is the plastic they used, like most plastics, shrinks slowly over time, and the

Re: HP200CD oscillator
All spiral wound paper/mylar/film capacitors are polarized from a noise perspective. The outside foil wrap of the capacitor will be connected to one, or the other lead. Depending on which way you

Re: HP8592L level issue
After some investigation ... and with the levels from the manual, it would appear it is the YTF that is faulty ... the attenuator is fine, levels check perfectly ... I cannot imagine it is the relay,

Re: HP200CD oscillator
One thing to note is the symmetry of the circuit. If R30 is getting hot but R31 isn't, then that symmetry has been broken somewhere. I'd start by comparing tube socket voltages between V1 & V3 and V2

Re: HP200CD oscillator
Sprague "Bumble Bee" and "Black Beauty" condensers were molded improperly, and they will crack, especially the oil filled ones, and let in moisture. That seems to react with the oil and make it
