Hi guys. Over the years I have read a lot about yigs going bad specifically their coils seem to go bad. Is there anything that can be done pre-emptively to secure their longevity? And what exactly happens? Do the coils open due to excessive
current (like a fuse?) I know there is an issue where the sphere sometimes moves and gets located incorrectly IIRC. I don’t know what causes that, perhaps excessive force? But I am interested in the coil issue. I have no yig issues at the moment, which seems
like a good time to try to prevent it?

Re: Restoring HP 1740A scope, strange waveforms seen, assistance please?
I am not familiar with that model (I have a 1727A) but if it is anything close to the Tektronix 465, there are attenuator switches operated from the panel control that may be making poor contact.
I must get into my 465 to make such a repair.? I have a spare 465B and hope that one has the parts I need.

Hi all, I've been a member for a while but lurking in the
background while working on the scope and looking out for any
discussions about a 1740A taking place.
I now have the scope in a running condition after
replacing 2 faulty transistors and now while testing the scope
with the 1V test connection I discover that channel B works as
expected but channel A works OK up to 0.2V on the volts/div
switch, moving to 0.5V and upwards the trace goes odd.?
I was wondering if anyone could point me to the area that
I need to be looking at on channel A to cure the problem. I
have uploaded photos of? both channels with the settings on
0.5V and 1V so you can see the problem?

Re: HP 8341A sucessfully FIXED!
Hi Ed
many thanks! Yes, I was really lucky with my YTO. However, I am a bit afraid that the YTO could definitely fail some day and I would like to have a spare, but there's none :-( I even thought whether it would be possible to construct a semiconductor-based,
compatible replacement, but this would be a really large and complex project. I have some ideas, though :-)
Of course my web page will be kept online. I have several projects I am working on, including a 5342A microwave counter and a 8568B spectrum analyzer, both waiting for repair. I will also present these on my page.
I would like to upload my the pics of the YTO, however, I forgot how that works; I probably even have an account here, but I have no idea what credentials I used. This is because posting to the group also works even if you forgot your account details :-)
I will try to figure things out and upload the pictures!
Best
Tobias

Wow. Nice work, Tobias. Sometimes we learn the most when things seem hopeless. Your reasoning was right that there was nothing to lose by taking a chance on opening the YTO, and you came up with a great alternative to get around the problem.
I hope you plan to keep that web-page available - it's a good story and resource with good pix of the YTO innards, for future reference. I'd recommend you also post the images to the photos department here.

Hi all
I have a 8568B spectrum analyzer which has some strange flickering traces sometimes. I found out that the traces do not flicker if the frequency span is narrow, for instance 1 MHz. As soon as I use a wider span, the traces are kind of unstable.
I then opened the RF section and found following behaviour: with a large span, the YTO unlocked LED flashes sometimes, however, I get no YTO warning on the screen.
If I lower the span to 1 MHz or less, the YTO unlocked LED is off all the time and the traces on the screen are nice and stable.
Is it normal that, when larger spans are used, the YTO unlocks from time to time? If not, why don't I get the YTO unlock message on the screen?

I too expected that electronics
professionals and hobbyists would be above that sort of nonsense
and would refrain not only from indulging in conspiracy theories
and political rants, but also from posting them in electronics
groups/forums.
Unfortunately I was unpleasantly surprised by the postings in
sci.electronics.design, and it appears some people would like that
to spread to here.
Would everybody please discuss anything resembling politics and
conspiracy theories elsewhere.
Enough said, I fervently hope.

Greetings,
I have been reading some of the posts regrading the inaccurate reporting regarding the Keysight plant in Santa Rosa.
While I find inaccurate reporting as disturbing as most of us, I must also note that I am growing weary of this ongoing discussion.
I am taking the time to add to this conversation to suggest our efforts and energies might be put to better use if we can discover how we might help Keysight employees who have suffered loss as a result of these fires.
I know of at least one Keysight family who lost their home and possessions.
While it is reasonable to believe that most of the material losses will be covered by insurance there is, without question emotional loss and perhaps we can send some simple, yet supportive and encouraging gifts, to the Keysight campus for those
that suffered losses.
Regards,
Ken

HP 8341A sucessfully FIXED!
Hi all,
probably some of you have seen that I had some problems with a 8341A. It was indeed the YTO which failed! But, I was incredibly lucky to fix the YTO.
I also did a front panel RF output retrofit on my machine.
Some pics of the YTO and stuff can be found on my page, if someone is interested :-)
Now I can proceed to my next project, a 5342A frequency counter (hopefully not a blown sampler) and a 8568B spectrum analyzer with blurry focus on the graticule.

Please please keep politics and conspiracy theory rhetoric away from this group.
If I want rants and abusive postings, I can find gobs of them on sci.electronics.design, surrounding a few technical gems. At least one of the (other) contributors to this thread can be found "over there".
Although it isn't directly relevant to this group, one of the good things
about working at HP was that any such statements would have been quickly
and effectively stamped on. That contributed to a pleasant working atmosphere.

I have friends in the areas affected by the fires that I haven't been able to contact. I am praying for them, and the others who are affected.
