Re: 141T varying CRT intensity?
It is almost certainly a heat problem, since it works OK when open to air. If you have a heat gun or a hair dryer, you

Re: Plastic snap-in bottom feet
If you have access to a 3d printer go to thingiverse dot com and look up HP foot, you may find what you are looking for.? I designed and printed some Tektronix pull tabs and got 50% yield using PLA

Re: Plastic snap-in bottom feet
The older HP gear test gear feet were black, part number 5060-0767. They had a metal push pin to allow side in installation or removal--found on 141T or similarly aged HP gear. They are as rare as

141T varying CRT intensity?
I've tried to troubleshoot this problem in the past, but whenever I have the unit opened up it has been well behaved.? The CRT intensity will vary (jump erratically) after the unit has been running

Re: HP8560E Low Level
I still doubt that there is anything wrong with the ref osc and 600MHz lo, really. it could be just a measurement trap. how are you measuring those 9dBm and 17dBm in-circuit amplitudes? remember that

John Just some feed back. Tracked down the manufacturer of the crystal, Croven Crystals in Canada who are very helpful, and found the replacement crystal is the exact unit and even has the the HP

Re: HP8560E Low Level
John I am still back at U700 which seems to be working but I can't get enough drive into it. The oscillator circuit is not tuning properly and I suspect it is the crystal. It has been changed sometime

Re: HP8560E Low Level
Amir If I input 100Mhz at -10dbm with 10dB attenuator and zero span selected (setup for level measurements on the RF path drawing) while injecting 600MHz at 0dBm (spec -3 to +4.8)? into the LO of the

Re: HP8560E Low Level
Dave, I think I had an HP856x with a similar 600 MHz problem.? It turned out to be a failed RF amp on A15. (U501?? U701?? U702?) --John Gord

Re: HP8560E Low Level
sounds good :-) so that means the second IF output (310.7MHz) must be almost dead. Is it? It's a coaxial cable that goes to A15 board? if the 600MHz is too low it cannot drive the x6 multiplier and

Re: Correct rack mount bracket?
Steve, The part numbers for the handles should be in the service manuals for each instrument. There may be more than one part number for the same instrument, based on the production series, each with

Re: HP8560E Low Level
Amir A lesson in the need for methodical fault finding techniques methinks. Checking out the RF section block diagram, trying to follow your advice, I noticed the 600Mhz drive into the Second

Re: Correct rack mount bracket?
Hi Steve. Thank you. The brackets do have notches. I have a few paired sets of 2U and 3U rack units. Do you happen to know the HP part numbers for the handles and brackets? Or where I could find them?

Re: Correct rack mount bracket?
Both types of rack mount brackets are available. It appears someone took the time to tie wrap the handles to the brackets to keep them together so I¡¯d venture a guess you have the ¡°use with
