Re: Removing label adhesive from instrument windows?
first heat it up with hot air gun and under the hot air try to slowly peel it off as much as possible
most of the time it comes off completely leaving some sticky residue
then use a lot of IPO to clean it?

Re: Removing label adhesive from instrument windows?
try dabbing the label
with a cotton ball with ample WD-40. I have found it to work
miracles and never affected the underlying plastic.

Hello--
I purchased a digital multimeter at an estate sale. Unfortunately,
the seller affixed a sticky-backed price label to the meter's
transparent-plastic display window. Most of the label peeled away
but the adhesive
remains. Short of mechanically scraping away the residue and
damaging the
window, does anyone have a suggestion for a label-removing
solution that
won't attack the plastic?
Thanks, and 73--

P.S.: if a chemist discovered the perfect solvent that would
dissolve anything
and everything, how would it be packaged for sale?<g>

I remember having used Dual gate DMos fets in a 2m converter. It was considered state of the art over conventional dual gate mosfets like 40673. SD211 are single gate DMos fets....

Re: HP 85044A T/R test set part - Cabinet Trim "zipper" - 08502-20007 - source or 3D printed copy?
(CORRECTION - noticed a typo in the powerpoint image, corrected version attached. The height (above bottom) shallow section (the lower part, between the teeth) is 1.55mm, not 1.5mm. Please look at the attached version instead ("zipper 4.ppt".)

The file zipper.zip is a sketch in powerpoint of one "tooth" of the zipper,
looking end-on. The zipper is formed by a pair of the two cross-sections

Attached is an updated version (zipper 4.stl, zipper 4.zip.) The longitudinal gaps in two places (at the 1/3 and 2/3 way point along the length) in zipper 3 that appeared as overlaps in tinkercad appear corrected.(by making them overlap further 0.2 mm.) I do not plan to continue with autodesk tinkercad, as it's not a suitable design tool.
FYI the ".zip" format is one of the two export formats offered by tinkercad (a reply post had commented about this). I don't know of what use the zip format is in this case (re-loading it to tinkercad didn't preserve the groupings I used to step-and-repeat the underlying box set that makes a "tooth"), however, it was offered as a format on tinkercad, so I have included it here.
The only printing material available at the university library I use is somewhat brittle (the zipper can easily be broken apart by bending it at a point along the length); slightly more pliable material would probably be preferable, but that's not available at the library I used.

Yes it really is very old device .... like me. Hi, Hi..

Hi Robert,
It is an interesting device, at least I will test it. At the moment it will remain in the drawer.
Best Regards.

Hi Piet,
I am very grateful for the pdf on the device.
Now I can prove it with a guarantee not to destroy it. He has been so many years without trying for this reason.
I've been remembering, and I think this bolometer was in an "Argos" electronic warfare unit. They left the base of Rota in the 1st war of the Persian Gulf. (80s) to scrap because they installed more modern equipment to the AWACS. They told me all this because I only bought in the scrap yard.
The equipment was basically a receiver up to 18Ghz with Polar screen representation.
Inside the unit was a Tunnel diode amplifier and a lot of good material.
What a good scrap that one! That has not happened again.
Best Regards,
73's

Nope,
It's a single element. The HP 431/432 uses a dual element in a bridge configuration.

Re: spectrum HP 8558b good but missing part
Oh joy! The wonders of 20:20 hindsight!
I suspect that the HP engineers who designed these components
did not have the benefit of your 500 years experience in the design and
manufacture of plastics components.
When I did my engineering degree, plastics were looked down on
as cheap Japanese rubbish. But since then, scientists have done a great deal of
work to develop better plastics. Just look at the development of poly-vinyl-chlorides.
They¡¯ll keep electricians in business for years as the old PVC wiring fails.

John,
If yo ever succeed in obtaining the Tech Etch finger stock, it is of the exact
dimensions as the HP part.? The only difference is in thew bend angle of
the fingers in relation to the mounting portion of the stock which will require
a little bending to match.
You are correct in your view of the poorness of the switch design.? HP
should not have relied upon such a tiny dimension of the heat staked plastic to
secure the fingers to the switch rotor.? We all know that plastic will
become brittle over the years as the plasticizer slowly disperses over time.
