Re: HP boxes: direction of air flow
The filter foam is called reticulated foam. It's sometimes sold as fish filter foam (even though that's filtering water) but it doesn't follow that all fish filter foam is usable for air filters. It's

Re: Some 3458A questions

Re: HP11729C 640 MHz magic cable?
Hi Robin, I built such a cable. As you said output is 11dBm-13dBm, input is 1dBm-4dBm level. Cable needs to provide ~ 9dB attenuation so that the output after going through attenuator provides >=1dBm

Re: HP boxes: direction of air flow
Probably because the filter material degraded with age and fell apart; then was not replaced. Can¡¯t suggest where to get it or what alternatives there might be. It may also have a slight benefit in

Re: HP 5315A With Destroyed Gate Pot and "frozen" Frozen Knob
Thanks to all. I did not expect nor rely upon WD-40. Kroil ordered arrives on the 20th. Appreciate the recommendations re the knob and, unless Kroil or other method to extract the set screw is

Re: HP 5315A With Destroyed Gate Pot and "frozen" Frozen Knob
Kroil, or Kano Kroil, is a very good penetrating oil that has been around for decades. If the knob is Bakelite or other material that will not melt, turn the setscrew hole upward, put a couple drops

HP11729C 640 MHz magic cable?
Hi, I have an HP 11729B that looks an anwful lot more like an 11729C, complete with the 640 MHz input (BNC) and output (SMA) ... as you may know you can apparently link these two together to use an

Re: HP boxes: direction of air flow
Indeed, the dust filter is a good argument. My box only has a finger grid, though, no dust filter, but lots of dust inside... Tom

Re: HP 5315A With Destroyed Gate Pot and "frozen" Frozen Knob
FWIW, somebody on this group or the Tek group recommended a product called Kroil a while back. I bought some to try on a couple things I knew were going to be impossible to unscrew - and it worked

Re: HP boxes: direction of air flow
It is quite common for the casing to have ¡®positive¡¯ pressure in order to keep any foreign bodies out unless they are filtered through Any grille/filter foam mesh etc. HIH Regards Nigel

Re: HP boxes: direction of air flow
Hello Tom, Normally outside in as far as I know. The fan will not blow against a dust filter, will it? Cheers, Harke

Re: HP 5315A With Destroyed Gate Pot and "frozen" Frozen Knob
Hi William, Been there, done that -- but IMHO WD-40 is not the best choice. Its main use is a water repellent. I would do this : - Try to get any grease, etc ... out of the thread with a little IPA

HP boxes: direction of air flow
Hi folks, is there a general rule for HP boxes with fan how the airflow is routed? Does the fan blow air into the box or suck it out of the box? I have a 8517 with missing fan, so I need to

Re: HP 5315A With Destroyed Gate Pot and "frozen" Frozen Knob
Unfortunatly the pot with switch has been discontinued by Bourns. Last one I repaired I managed to make one up using a switched pot of the wrong resistance value and the resistance track off a 470k

Re: HP 5315A With Destroyed Gate Pot and "frozen" Frozen Knob
William, on the buggered setscrew, I will relate what has worked for me - occasionally! I grab a piece of hard steel, like the tang of a small file or - my favorite - one of the old-style square cut

Re: HP 5315A With Destroyed Gate Pot and "frozen" Frozen Knob
Hi William, You may have to sacrifice the pot by carefully sawing the shaft off, then the frozen knob can possibly be worked on in a more accessible location to prevent risk of front panel damage.
