Re: 332A balance pots

 

I should clarify - I mean only to break the seal so I can open the pots, thoroughly clean everything out and then close them again. I would not do any cutting without then stripping the pot!

Hi Tony,
I'm not too familiar with this instrument, but doesn't the front panel of the 8559A have a Frequency Calibrator button to correct the errors between the displayed and actual frequencies?

Hi Steve,

I currently have an E4422b on my bench, and have found it to be very good. The unit I have has various modulation sources including a function generator, and the performance of that is excellent , I would certainly make room for one on my bench at home. It would replace at least 2 boxes there, so the XYL would be pleases :o)
The unit also includes sweeps of frequency and power.
Yum !

Arthur, no I'm not in the USA. I'm based in the UK.

I understand what they do, but I don't need that function, and would happily
sell them on to a new home rather than scrap 'em.

(though I don't think that using them for a project qualifies as scrapping -
they are very nice boxes).

they were designed to logrithmicly compress a signal

Does anyone have a parts hanger queen that can supply a switch. It is the

Foot Assy for hp_equipment

 

For my opinion, the "HP Feet" are a mis-construction.

Maybe a good idea, a cheap solution, but in fact bullshit.

Re: Foot Assy for (Re: 7562A Log Voltmeter/Converter)

 

I spoke casually; I was just distinguishing between the three (known to me)
System I sizes. An example of narrow is the 400C/E/F/G. Then you have
the medium size, which is a bit more than 1/3-rack.
You can't fit three, but two leave a big gap. (And finally of course
the full-rack size.)

Sorry,
Dave Wise

Dave, you describe these as 1/3 wide, but only two fit into a 19" rack
adapater (they came out of one with p/n 5060-8764).

Or am I missing something here?

That cabinet design is known as System I, as are the feet,
but the only size
that's commonly available is the single.
The seven-inch bar for the 1/3-wide cabinet is rare; I'm also
looking for
two for my 5210A Frequency Meter.
In the meantime we can use generic stick-ons, but we'll have
to do without
the bail.

These had a "front bail/foot" type front #1490-0032 and the
rear foot
was #5060-0728 built in the late 60's and early 70's
...probably common
to other gear of that era

I would rather like some feet for them (they were in a rack
adapter).

Each instrument originally had two feet (one at the front,
one at the back).
The feet are a plastic bar about 7" long and 3/4" wide with
detents at the
ends for a bail bar, and a push button in the middle with
instructions
"Press then slide foot".

All discreet transistors and a few IC's ...Nice little power supply
...must be highly accurate as it has a "heater" (A5 Board) recommends
20-30 minute warm up. Converts AC/DC -IN to LOG out 80dB dynamic range,
auxiliary scope monitor . Hook two of them in series get LOG-LOG out

I'll send you a private email with scan of the description page.

Nice case for a project box
