8555A spares
Hi Don,
The box with the bits and pieces was delivered to the post office this morning and should be on the way to you. The postage was < AU$ 10.00, so I don't think that we are going to loose any sleep over that. It will probably cost you about the same to return the display board to me. Have a great Christmas and a Happy but above all Prosperous New Year. From the van Lints |

All noted. I will give your display board the treatment over Christmas. We are going to do an overnight trip to Milford Sound [Red boat cruise], but I hope to find time in between opening presents for you :-) The cause of damage to the display board might be due to insulation failure in the 3 conductor "ribbon" that connects the EHT and [Shock!, Horror!] storage grids to their respective circuits. Mine has started to "splat" alarmingly, so I`m going to replace the ribbon with EHT wire [the Teflon inner from some 1/8 inch Teflon coax - I`ve tested it to 13kV D.C.], and REAL wire for the grids, before I power the thing up again. After I`ve gone over your board [and after I`ve fixed the EHT problem in my unit !], I will fit your board in my 141T, to check that it goes OK, and then return it to you good as new. I`ll keep you posted! Have a good one Chris, and your family to! ...................... from the Collies! [Attachment : Meriam(wife), Philip, Joanna (#1 daughter), Jacqueline(#2), and yours truely]...............................................Don. P.S. I really apperciate those bits, Chris. P.P.S. : Have you `scoped and measured the 4 PSU rails? ----- Original Message -----
