Re: Tek 2465b two probes showing slightly different voltages and phases
Here's a nice video of (Rear Admiral) Grace Hopper demonstrating the "size" of 1ns in vacuo: a piece of wire 11.8in long. In a cable it will be shorter, due to the reduced speed of light.

Yes, I have used OSH Park before as well.? Not sure where they are located, so I hesitated to mention them.? I try to avoid sending any of my dollars to China these days.? ?JimSent from my

Re: Spectrum analyzer Tektronix 7L13 on mainframe Tektronix 7603
Yes, finding oddball crystals is a challenge. I very much doubt that you will find 52.5 (or 55, for that matter) MHz crystals as standard stock items, so your choices are limited. If you can't find

Oshpark is very good, with 3 board per order for the price of 5 dollars per square inch.? I should point out that the board set I saw would be rather expensive. Their boards are purple, and ENIG

Several at least here in Southern California.? For just this type of small order.? For volume production, China is of course the 800 pound gorilla.? Check out Advanced Circuits, TTM, or Summit here

Are there any US PCB Houses that we could contact? Or are they all in China? I have never done boards before. I would be willing to help out with the process. -- Michael Lynch Dardanelle, AR

Larry, I am interested in a group buy of the board set. Thanks, Shaun M.

Re: I built a TM500 mainframe tester, and updated the design. Someone might find this useful?
Yeah, I could be convinced into a set. Board costs aren't so bad, but the shipping can rack up some charges. If you can get a quantity at least it works out to something reasonable per board. Then

Re: Rescuing 500s from tube snatchers/scavengers - how much is it worth
I wonder how all of these vastly different tubes are all used in and every one "sounds wonderful" in his high-fi system? I don't know much about tubes, but I would think that each different tube would

Hi Attilio, The 52.5 MHz crystal in the TR502 is Tek p/n 158-0098-00. According to the Common Design Parts Catalog, this is a +/- 0.0005%, 3rd overtone series crystal in a TO-5 case, with a maximum

No, "Audio Dumfuks" is more accurate. I'm seldom one to directly contradict but occasionally needs must. Follow -this- thru to see what some pikers get for USED tubes, no guarantee, no returns.
