I forgot to mention that it is important to glue the plastic tube to the nozzle otherwise the pressure will send the whole assembly including needle across the room. I used a plumbers PVC adhesive.

Hi Guerrino, Congratulations for your finding! I had a similar problem in my HP-8672A. I bought it as 'unworking' at eBay... and, yes, it didn't work ;-). It is a very complex unit and I was afraid of

Re: Are plotters still useful?
I've done the PIC version some years ago for an HP analog spectrum analyzer with X, Y and Pen Lift outputs. Worked reasonably well. The algorithm holds a do nothing loop waiting for the pen lift

Re: Are plotters still useful?
It is still useful information! Thanks to all. I have a Velleman two channel digital scope that runs on the USB on a computer. It will do X-Y and I may try that for the units that have analog outputs.

Re: Question about Service Manual Copyrights
Most units did not come with complete service manuals. They had to be purchased separately. I believe HP has made all their old manuals public domain. Actually I believe they have been requesting any

I use a HP plotter to draw pcb layouts. I made an adapter from an old pen to hold a CD marker. It plots straight at the PCB and after plotting it is going in the stuff that solves the copper. I made a
