Re: sot-23 transistors

 

Hi,

Yes, that is what I ordered this morning. I have seen smt transistors that looked smaller but i do not plan to try to cover them. The socket will handle sot-23-6 as well. I will look into adding a program card that will extend the number of devices tested. A 6p6t switch would be nice but are way too big.

Are there SOT-23 devices that won't fit?

The problem is that the files area of this group is full, so we need to use additional groups to hold files.

The crazy thing is that Yahoo allow 1G for images, but only a 100M for files.

Hi Mike,

Interesting. The same seller sent me the two files you mention, and I tried both - also removing the chip from the board as you did. It didn't seem that either one fixed the problem - not even the CARTV128.BIN but perhaps there is a difference in the files we each have? If you could email me the binary you have, I'd be very grateful.

Re: OT: Resolving "undershoot" on 74LS logic

 

Hmmmm Stranger and stranger,

The outputs of the LS02 which go any distance on the board appear clean (including the main clock signals which actually go off the processor board via ribbon cable to the logic baord), but pin 10 has this undershoot and only connects to pin 11, and pin 1 which also does the same only seems to connect to the test point.

Maybe this chip isn't the culprit for the .66uS bursts of RF on all the supplies, it may just be that the 1.5MHz clock goes everywhere and therefore sprays itself into all the supplies.

Joe, I have tried repeatedly to email you regarding your inquiry at your registered address and my messages all bounce. - Do you have another email address?
Thanks, Pete Davie


Re: OT: Resolving "undershoot" on 74LS logic

 

Thanks to all (not just Jerry). I am pretty sure it isn't the ground lead as the input (from the 68B09 E pin) which is pretty much as fast is quite clean, but will try a 500R probe later today.

The ground is good to the ground pin, but there isn't a good ground near the supply pin :(

It looks like 74ALS includes a schottky output clamp, and I therefore assume 74HC(T) logic does too?

If a diode clamp doesn't do it I will try the series R ...

Anyone know of a convenient PI I can steal a leaded schottky diode from - 7A18, 7A19, 7B92, and 7S11 parts mules are available.

Cheers
Dave

I would like to purchase a bottle of your Freon 114 per your email below. I have a P6015 with an empty Freon can. Unless you are oversubscribed, I will send the $35.00 through PayPal right away. Please let me know. Thank you.

30lb jug and the bottle I'll be shipping it in.
It is actually very easy to work on. It feels much like diethyl ether just
colder. Similar chloroform-like smell, similar cold feeling, no frostbyte...
Very easy to fill those bottles -- attach a stock refrigerant hose to the
jug, put jug upside down, open the valve one full turn and it flows like
water from a faucet... Starts boiling on contact with the room temperature
bottle but almost immediately cools down and boiling stops. Pressure in the
bottle at room temperature is not high so it is safe. It is quite dense, way
heavier than water and vapor is very heavy -- it flows like water.
Should be very easy to use -- just put it into a household freezer for an
hour or so before opening and it pours like water, nothing special.
So everybody who needs it can get it right now. As I already told it is $25
for 100ml plus $3 for the bottle. I don't want to bother with pennies on
shipping charges, PayPal fees etc, so let's make it $7 flat for shipping
within continental US and everything else. That makes it $35 shipped.
Those bottles are actually not all that bad and they have a plug in addition
to that tamper-proof cap. Bottles are 125ml filled with 100ml of freon.
Everybody who worked with refrigerants knows that all the cylinders must be
filled for not more than 80% of their actual volume to give room for vapor
pressure. It might be not that important for high boiling R-114 but anyways
better be safe than sorry...
I can also fill your bottles if you want so, just ship them to me. It
doesn't make much sense because you'll spend more on shipping than my
bottles cost but anyways...
Payment is via PayPal to ksi-at-koi8-dot-net. I have 25 those bottles on
hand. If there is more takers I'll have to order another 25. This takes a
week -- they are shipped from Florida UPS ground and it takes time to
deliver them to Las Vegas...
I will be packing them on weekends and they will be picked up on Mondays.
Everybody who paid before Sunday will have their box shipped on Monday.
Those who paid later will have their boxes packed next Sunday and shipped
out the following Monday.
As a side note -- one never knows what treasure he might find on garage sale
that he happened to drive by :) It was not actually a full 30lb jug, just
30lb gross weight but it is still 24lb+ of Freon 114 left in that jug that
should be enough for everyone for a long while...

Re: 7A18 volts/div switch contact cleaning

 

Doh!

I found that putting a vertical plug-in into the left most slot so I
could reach the adjustments on the right side was not effective but
maybe you can manage it.

I cut one of my tuning tools in half and shortened it so I could reach
the TCXO frequency adjustment inside my HP 5315A because a longer tool
would not fit at all.

I have a R7704 rack mounted unit - the CRT is on the left. But your note gave me an idea - perhaps I can put the 7A18 in the right vertical slot, leave the left empty and see if I can get a small screw driver to fit in the empty slot. Will try that tomorrow.

If you remove the left cover panel on your 7000 mainframe, you can
reach most if not all of the 7A18 calibration adjustments.

Thanks to everyone who responded - I was able to clean the 2 contacts for the 10X attenuation and the deflection now works fine. I put a few drops of isopropyl alcohol on the contacts with a small dropper and moved the knob back and forth 15 or 20 times. Never actually touched the contacts with anything per notes below.

So now that the gain is right, I have to adjust the compensation caps for which I need an extender. The one on eBay is far out of my reach financially. How do you guys set the comp caps without an extender card or extension cable?

Again, thanks for your assistance with the deflection contact points.
