But it is a "web thingy" - it is not just a mailing list.? How you choose it is up to you, but as has been pointed out, you can restrict the size of attachments, including setting the size to 0, so you never see any.
While DSL was at one time considered "broadband",? it's a poor performer compared to what some folks do with cable,? etc.? Unfortunately this rural location doesn't provide a whole lot of choices.
I am in the same boat - ADSL from a rural location in the UK.?
The point here is that when one of you guys attaches a multi-megabyte file to one of these emails,? I get to download it whether I want it or not.? Which ties up my connectivity until the download is done.

I don't mind the occasional pictures and such,? but those big files are something else!
I can't be bothered to check, but I think you can get images downloaded, but at a resolution you set. So you see the image. If you want higher quality, go to the web server.?

Hi Kuba
I think you misunderstood what I was saying put the picture in the pictures file and then put a link to the pictures file
This should stop multiple copies appearing on the site also
Then they can be deleted later by the person that put them there

Hi Roy,
In your subscription to this group, go to Advanced and you will see
the maximum attachment size option, below:
…
Max Attachment Size
Maximum size of attachments sent to you in emails. For attachments
larger than this size, links to retrieve them will be provided
instead.
…
You can control the attachments which are sent to you.
Also, you can change Digest or Summary rather than All Messages,
which allows you to choose individual messages.
Take care,
Larry

Re: HP 8594E upgrade CRT to LCD
There is a lot of room left over after removing the old monitor. It could be a good place to install a Rubidium frequency reference with room left over. There is also a port not used on the front for the output.? Too bad my Rubidium is in another case already.?

How can I measure the bandwidth of an audio transformer with the HP8903B ?
Good day everyone,
I would like to measure the bandwidth of an audio output transformer for a push-pull tube amplifier, using the HP8903B audio analyzer, but I have some doubts about how to connect the transformer to the input and output of the HP8903B.
The primary of the transformer (anode - anode):? do I connect them to the HP8903B output (set to 50 ohm or 600 ohm)?
Do I connect an 8 ohm resistor and the input of the HP8903B to the 8 ohm secondary of the transformer?
What voltage should I set for the HP8903B output?
Thanks for the attention

Re: HP 8594E upgrade CRT to LCD
Yes, and no.
The EL panel is quite thin and should be relatively easy to
physically replace on some of the displays I've seen.? Now you
have to find the replacement.
It's possible that the plastic diffuser panel from an LED backlit
display might fit, but that may be a difficult thing to do, both
to find the panel and to replace it.
You may be able to find a replacement by googling for EL
replacement for that display.
I had a tektronix TM5000 function generator with a bad EL panel,
and ended up finding an equivalent LED backlit panel.? I actually
think that the reverse background looks better.
It might be possible to find a later LCD display with the same
mechanical size that uses LEDS or a CCFL.? Bear in mind that the
inverter for the CCFL is 900 to 1.5 KV, and the EL is 100 or so.?
Be very careful with the CCFL inverter.? I'd personally avoid them
and their displays wherever possible.? It is possible to replace a
CCFL lamp with an LED array, though.? Some of the replacements are
commercially made.

From what I've seen, the displays are from a different era,

On the old displays, the EL backlight gives out quickly.
Also not sure about the temperature tolerance, either,

Thanks for the tip. I may have already replaced this cap. I went through all the usual suspects first time around and replaced all the suspect ones. But I'll double check I've done the one you mentioned; many thanks.
Yes, luck trumps all!

Just received and works great. But a couple of questions for the group:
(1) Is it possible to add some sort of backlight to the LCD?
(2) My binding posts are in the back. How hard is it to move these to the front?
Thanks in advance.

Regarding the Off-Lock YTO loop, I suggest you to look at C7 on A20.? This capacitor is known to go dry and create the ugly YTO unlock problem.? A nice gentlemen create a YouTube video about this problem.? I was lucky, as it fixed my 8566B problem.? Any day, I prefer to be lucky than smart ? ? Best, Francesco K5URG ?

From: [email protected] < [email protected]> On Behalf Of benj3867 via groups.io Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2022 5:35 AM To: [email protected]Subject: Re: [HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment] Storage Cap Ripple ? @Jinxie, I did not mean to discourage you by saying that this repair is impossible without very accurate equipment that you do not have; this is not necessarily the case, and I myself have fixed many pieces of equipment with surprisingly inadequate gear. What I did want to convey to you is the fact that the 8566B is an extremely sophisticated piece of equipment that requires a precision mindset if one wants to achieve 100% success in troubleshooting it. Assuming that the 22V rail is “good enough” when it measures +1V, and the specified allowed deviation is at most 50 times less (+20mV), did not look like a promising start.
To make my point even more concrete, as Matt said, one can sometimes get rid of the YTO unlock error by performing the “13. Sweep, DAC, and Main Coil Driver Adjustments”. One of the steps in this procedure calls for adjusting the “scan reset offset” voltage to zero with an accuracy of +-500 micro-volts.
In other words, you can not assure a successful repair without accurate gear and mindset, but you may still be lucky enough and be able to fix it with an accurate mindset and less accurate gear.
As for your comment that “no way can I meet those kind of standards...”, I do not believe that this is necessarily the case given that you also say that “I have a *ton* of high-end test gear here..” --- even if it is all vintage with unknown calibration status. For example, my experience with a few used HP 3456A meters is that they are within specs, or very close to it, many years after being last calibrated. Also, even if out-of-spec, their errors are quite consistent and they still have tons of resolution which is what counts most in this case. In other words, your 34566B will function perfectly well if it is adjusted with all voltages consistently off by the same small error: the relative voltages at different points in the circuit are more important than their absolute values (within reason of course).
Finally, if you are lucky, the problem may be simply a bad electrolytic capacitor on A20, A19 or A21. Given that you have an LCR and ESR meters, why don't you start there first?

Re: HP 1727A CRO: Problem with the vertical output amplifier.
Thanks for the suggestions, I will look into it further. I should have mentioned that the vertical deflection amplitude is off, as displayed on the screen. I don't know weather that is because of an adjustment or the vertical amp, so a problem here would explain some of it.
I didn't realize the scales were different on the plot, rookie mistake.
