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.

Question: XY (XYZ or Vector) instrument CRT, replacement with an LCD ?
hi, In the event of instrument CRT death, one might want to do a replacement having an LCD display: The question is: -- are there any existing modules ( or schematics, or projects )? that might be

The only one of those I recognize is the 3456A DVM, as I purchased one a year or two ago. eBay prices range from less than US$100 to several hundred depending on condition, calibration, and the

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 built in

Re: HP200CD oscillator
?? I may be wrong about the voltage value, I am going by memory of the advertising. ?? I have wondered the same thing about the oil filling. Its possible the casings were cast and the winding

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

5342A - Added OPT. 001 - Success
Added Option 001 to my otherwise working 5342A. S/N 1840A01105 which has no line voltage select provisions on the rear panel. The 10MHz Dale TCXO assembly was replaced with a 10811-60111 OCXO. After

I have one. It was from a "Real ICE" kit, which I no longer have. Looks like the same cable. You're welcome to it for postage from Colorado USA. Pete

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. [email protected]> wrote:

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. --John

Re: HP200CD oscillator
Thanks for this very good explanation. In addition to the points you made, I have read the oil fill was often complete, and hydrostatic force would test the integrety of the plastic. Shrinkage and

Re: HP200CD oscillator
BB capacitors were molded as well as the technology of the day would allow... That is not why they cracked. The problem is the plastic they used, like most plastics, shrinks slowly over time, and the

Re: HP200CD oscillator
All spiral wound paper/mylar/film capacitors are polarized from a noise perspective. The outside foil wrap of the capacitor will be connected to one, or the other lead. Depending on which way you
