Re: Mounting HP Iron in 19" Racks

Re: Mounting HP Iron in 19" Racks
I have some of the front mount shelves but the cheap ones won't support the nice HP iron. They deflect too much. That picture was for the Mainframe SRS-4-F. I can get them at my local supplier in

Re: HP 427A no DC offset adj. pot
It's a later one with the Rev B A2 board 00427-66512, connection pin 5 is also gone, the diode relabelled as CR2 (was CR1) goes directly from pin 8 to pin 11. Original A2 board is 00427-66502. David

Re: HP8560a smoke came out
Glenn, You have activated the delta marker function, so what is shown if the "normal marker" function is activated? My first idea on the big bang was an exploding RIFA cap on the AC mains input. Did

Re: HP 427A no DC offset adj. pot

Re: HP8560a smoke came out
If you are in 230V country sure I would bet on explosion of RIFA caps in the power supply. Not difficult to repair it, just power supply board needs to be removed from SA. Whe you are in, check also
