Re: HP 8568B from hell to Heaven... a restoration story!
Think I might have purchased an HP 70k system from the same seller. They seem to have found a very cheap off-peak shipping service with FedEx which made it a very good deal. Like yours the packing on

Re: Leaking alkaline cells
There are a sufficient number of alternatives to Duracells such that simply not buying them is the easiest path. As I wrote earlier, I was once a dedicated user of Duracells, but no longer. There are

Re: Leaking alkaline cells
For a long time now I've used nothing but the industrial versions of Duracells. They used to be marketed as Industrial by Duracell and now as Procell. I have no complaints. Just checked my store of

Re: Leaking alkaline cells
The dimples are only on the AA size cells but other sizes leaked. I don't know what the problem was or how Duracell fixed it, I noticed the change in the AA cells and it indicated to me that they had

Re: Leaking alkaline cells
Thanks very much for that information, Richard. I had long ago written off Duracells as equipment-destroying junk. I'll give them another go. I'll just have to remember "no dimples, no leak." -- Tom
