Re: Plan to deep cleaning my gear
Thank a lot for all your inputs guys! My instruments work very well for their age. I just wanted to make them great again:) After reading your posts, I figured I will stay away from using any

Re: Question about HP3586B and measuring Power.
The 3596 was used to measure carrier levels in a multiplexed system at 75 ohms. The 75 ohm input would be used to terminate a 75 ohm output directly. The 10k input would have been used to bridge a

Question about HP3586B and measuring Power.
One of the inputs on the 3596B is a 75ohm, another is a 10k ohm//50pf. I can understand with a Voltage across a 75 ohm resistor how to get a power reading. What happens when you switch the unit to

Re: Plan to deep cleaning my gear
I had to remove BI/Beckman trimpots from our products at somewhere around 2000 because they would fail after the boards were cleaned. We switched to Bourns, and the problem went away. BI denied that

Re: Plan to deep cleaning my gear
I agree with this. I have been involved in many product developments over 40 years ( not for HP) and would not use anything but >99% IPA or DI water, and only if the parts are rated to be cleaned with

Re: Plan to deep cleaning my gear
I understand the desire to try and get the insides to look like new! Like Paul, I guess I have 50+ bits of oldish HP and Tek equipment, but I'm not sure I would do what you intend, especially with

Just be careful about possible water ingress at the edges of the fiber glass boards. It can actually cause some problems with high impedance circuits (Been there...) I would use an ordinary oven and

Re: Plan to deep cleaning my gear
Hi I would not soak the PCBs. Just blow away dirt using air. Somewhere I once read that the laminate of the PCBs can sponge up the water and I don't know whether this is nice. Better not to try it,
