Re: Probing deep and/or narrow into a given unit for troubleshooting
I have done the tack-wires-on method many times too. A few nodes is easy to handle, with leads held safely with tape to keep from shorting. When there are lots, I usually use some kind of connector

Re: HP 5086-7906 YTO
Hi Adri, Yes, I am curious, you can send me a video on the intermittent noise problem, by going through OneDrive for example, or Dropbox. It could be that one of the PLLs is the cause. For the 8595E

Hi I'm not sure which driver you may be referring to so you might have to explain further. I did not format the card. It was borrowed and came with the attenuator cal files on it. It will be mailed

Re: HP 141T Power Supply Help Needed
I think the 141T had a storage CRT and that looks like flooding. Thats when the storage gain typically on the front panel is too high. Not good to leave it that way for long. Paul WB8TSL
