Re: Source for HP System 2 case cover retaining screws
Sure, I do. Except I stick with countersunk heads - looks nicer. But the problem is, often the covers are quite tightly fitting into the slots, and can't just be slid out by hand once the securing

Re: HP 8566B issue above 18.5GHz ?
Hi Don , After performing presel peak at 19GHz it looks like the amplitude response starts to look quite OK. Maybe the previous owner of the analyzer performed the calibration incorrectly and that's

Re: 8751A Input Overload
Maybe in 10 Hz cutoff, it's capacitor-coupled, but in 5 Hz mode, it's actually DC-coupled to save another cap. If so, then DC drift due to some fault might be pushing it out of bounds, also accounting

Re: Source for HP System 2 case cover retaining screws
Just use regular screws of the right length and thread - some are English and some are metric. Don't even bother with flatheads - standard panheads are more durable, and there's really no need for

Re: Source for HP System 2 case cover retaining screws
As far as I'm aware, there are two variants of this screw with different thread sizing: a 6-32 0.46-in variant and an M3.5x0.6mm 12mm-LG variant. I've seen the 6-32 come only in Pozidriv and the M3.5
