HP 334A Balance Pots
The balance pots in my 334A have gotten pretty erratic. Am I correct to assume these are carbon-track types and not wire-wound? I presume that this application would demand carbon-track but in my

Re: Craigslist HP 8566B Indianapolis
I have a few of these units all operational and yes they are seriously heavy. This unit is nice as it appears to have the interconnect cables. It is a really nice SA. There was a flood of units some 7

Re: Racks for older equipment
Wally Depends on largely on 1) The size of the castors ( wheels), bigger wheels are generally easier to deal with and actually less likely catch and tip 2) The floor surface they are rolling on

Re: Seeking advice on a precision DVM
There are plenty of 34401A displays on ebay for under $30. I assume they're clones since there are so many but have no reason to think they're bad. I'm hoping the prices on 53131A displays will also

Racks for older equipment
I have a bunch of old HP and other equipment and am using a Tek scope stand for some of it. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about rolling stands for TE, Do the rolling racks?that

Re: Craigslist HP 8566B Indianapolis
Just recently, I was working on my Marconi 2380 Spectrum Analyzer and realized there was a need for a decent anti gravity device. However my inquiries to the government about their gravity wave

Re: HP54603B Software Gremlins
Hi Askild, thanks a lot for the clear and detailed pointer. With "nonvolatile trace memory" mentioned in the manual, I thought of something more durable (EEPROM, FlashROM) than a battery back-up SRAM

Re: Hints on removing burned tantalum residue
So I looked up this HexaWave HWF1681RA - definitely a MESFET. If it turns out they're shot, you may be able to find NEC brand equivalents. I vaguely recall that I have some amplifiers that have

Hi Jeff, Thanks for the info, very interesting. Both devices test good on the diode range of the 34401A, next test is to see what I can do with them I have a Tek ext mixer on its way to me and I

Re: Hints on removing burned tantalum residue
Sounds like you don't have a manual/schematic, but if you can look at the actual circuit and poke around for measurements, look for how the MESFETs are biased. If the sources are grounded, then there

Re: Seeking advice on a precision DVM
For precision nothing beats a 3458A, 8.5 digit, but it¡¯s expensive. The 3456 is the better of the 3455/3456 pair. Our standard bench meter is a 3478A. Should be relatively cheap and they seem to be

Re: Seeking advice on a precision DVM
I'd vote for the HP3455A and HP3456A. I have about three of each, and I did have to repair some of them initially (which is why they were quite cheap) - mostly the usual bad power supply cap

Re: Craigslist HP 8566B Indianapolis
Oof! That's a heavy one, in case somebody's not aware; 112 lbs, IIRC. Lest you try to ship or lift one. The display portion and the synthesizer portion do come apart, in nearly equal volume and weight

Re: Seeking advice on a precision DVM
I'm not a big fan of the LCD's HP used for a while. Hard to read at times. The vacuum florescent displays are nice until they die. I prefer LEDs. The 34401A looks nice. Beware of failing displays!
