Re: Seeking advice for an HP-3336C
Fixed my attenuator problems using Joe's board.? The 3336C with the Aromat relays are not the same spacing as the 3325 so the PCB had to be sheared.

Re: HP200CD oscillator
Hi Richard,
I have never seen anything that would lead me to believe
an end cap was glued onto the body of the capacitor, but
maybe that is what they did? Or, maybe the capacitor was

Re: HP200CD oscillator
Hi Richard,
Bumble bee was a descriptive name based on the colorful
bands used to indicate the capacitor's value and voltage
rating. It was certainly not a brand name.
Tektronix used numerous 400V

I have one. It was from a "Real ICE" kit, which I no longer have. Looks like the same cable.

Re: HP8592L level issue
I can have a look ... but the YTF auto-alignment goes through and passes,
as expected, which should sort out any tracking anomalies.

Re: HP8592L level issue
Robin,
Did you try the Tracking Adjust (in the amplitude menu, I think)?? You should be able to get a fairly smooth manual peaking response if the YTF current drive is working correctly.

BB capacitors were molded as well as the technology of the day

All spiral wound paper/mylar/film capacitors are polarized
from a noise perspective. The outside foil wrap of the
