Re: HP200CD oscillator
Sprague "Bumble Bee" and "Black Beauty" condensers were molded improperly, and they will crack, especially the oil filled ones, and let in moisture. That seems to react with the oil and make it

Re: WTB: PIC17C42A-33I/L or PIC17C42A-33E/L
The hex file created for PIC17C44 is identical to that for PIC17C42A ¨C so can use them without even needing to change the code.

Re: HP8593A Power Supply repair
Hi,
Would strongly suggest you install a 350v AC rated X rated capacitor rather
than a 300v component, particularly if being used in a 220/240v AC
environment.
350v components are readily

which will change the output tubes bias and cause them to conduct excessive
