I have some 91% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol sitting around and I have a Tek 577
with dirty horizontal and vertical display controls, I have used this to
clean residue on circuit boards and grime off surfaces and it works quite
well so I was wondering if it could be used to clean the dirty potentiometers
on the 577 curve tracer. 91% seems the best the best I can find. I also have
a can CRC Lectra Clean. What are your thoughts, recommendations? Thanks
Re: TEST MESAGE. "Fw: You have been removed from [email protected]"

 

Exactly

As Dale says we have multiple accounts (personal + Business) and frankly and using the group web interface directly takes MUCH more time. Also I have years worth of history across multiple emails that are can all be catalogued and stored by topic rather than email address
One stop going back 10+ years.

Re: TEST MESAGE. "Fw: You have been removed from [email protected]"

 

The list admin has asked us not to discuss the issue while he looks at the solution.

Unfortunately, there are lot of myths here that may have been true in 1998 but no longer are, and they form the basis of a persistent argument that, by 2019, is now just wrong.

I¡¯ve been on Gmail since it was launched and I¡¯ve never looked back. It also automagically threads conversations so there aren¡¯t any concerns of who said what with the various complaints I see of people not quoting replies properly¡­.
This confuses gmail the mail service with gmail the interactive mail access tool.
Gmail the mail service is very good apart from privacy concerns. There are few privacy concerns with open lists like this, so gmail is just great for a tekscope subscription.

You can use gmail the interactive mail access tool with this, or use a separate mail reader program. By now, both offer offline mail access capabilities.

The attachments are downloaded whether or not you use an email client or the web portal.
This is simply not true.

There are a number of ways you can control what is downloaded.

groups.io has a control that you can set for a specific mailing list:

Go to /g/TekScopes/editsub
Open ¡°Advanced Preferences¡±. Configure ¡°Max Attachment Size¡±.

Mail readers usually also have a control for whether the attachments that are offered are downloaded automatically or manually. The way to do this differs between mail readers, usually a couple of clicks or so.
(Apple Mail: CMD-comma, Accounts, (select account), Account Information, Download Attachments.)

For folks with limited data plans that's what causes the problems. I'm on a limited data plan as are a number of others. I may not be interested in a topic, yet I still have to download those images which I have no desire to see.
As I said, this is not factual.

Upload the images to our groups.io pictures section and the I have the choice of whether I want to view those photos or not.
For images that make good named reference galleries: Please do.

For the odd picture that accompanies a ¡°does this look right¡± message, this is not the right way to do this; you cause the accretion of hard to find information. Mail already supports attachments. The link between the attachments and the message does not get lost.

I¡¯ve tried the web portal and dislike it.
That is your right (I happen to hate ¡°Web Forum¡± style interfaces, too).

It¡¯s not available if I lose my connection,
Not true, as indicated above.

which can happen quite often in this northern rural area when storms and snow hit us.
Definitely true in many parts of the world, in particular those that actually have enough space to keep Tek Scopes around :-)

With the email client I store and save all the emails locally so they are available even if I¡¯m offline.
Exactly, and that also applies, optionally (automatically or manually), to the attachments.

I¡¯m sorry for not quite following your policy, Dennis. This will be the one message correcting the outdated information for this week. Everyone: please don¡¯t discuss this further until Dennis has found out more about this (which I hope this message facilitates).

Gr¨¹?e, Carsten

Hi Miguel,

TM503 is just a 3 slot mainframe. That can't possibly be what you are referring to as Option 7. It might be part of the option since, presumably, you will want to have the TR502 and the DC508 in the same TM503 main frame. There are probably a few interconnections you need to make on the back plane of the TM503 between the TR502 and the DC508 to make them work together.

Re: 152-0310-00 replacement

 

1N3758 is not a tunnel diode. It is a rectifier that the NTE NTE5804will

Axial Lead Standard Recovery Silicon Rectifiers, 3 Amp, 400V, DO27

The 1N3758appears to be a 400V, 1A part.

Re: 91% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol to clean potentiometers?

Chuck Harris
 

IPA is so miscible in water that water works just fine for putting
it out. The water dilutes it to a point where it will no longer burn.
A shower is better than a stream as it dilutes and cools the IPA without
spreading it around.

If you blast IPA with a stream of water, it will splash the alcohol
before it dilutes it enough to render it nonflammable.

The MSDS for IPA says use water.

Where water gets you in trouble is nonpolar solvents like gasoline,
kerosene, etc. The solvent is lighter than water, and flaming solvent
floats on the surface of the water spreading the fire.

towards 90%, as it picks up water, from the air that gets into the bottle.
The main advantage of IPA is it is cheap (really cheap compared to
proprietary cleaners, like Deoxit). But, another significant advantage is
that it is a pure (other than the little bit of water)¡­ it is a pure
chemical. So, you know what you are using, and can find out what it will do

You can get (download) the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), so you can

...I have accidentally reported messages from Tekscopes as spam before,
and this has not happened, and some Tekscopes messages regularly end up in
my spam folder anyway, and I have to check there from time to time. So,
wonder if Yahoo is now reporting when you move a message to spam, or
groups.io is now recording when yahoo sends such a report.
Either way, heads up to everyone that the system is sensitive!
Dennis, is there a way to set up the groups.io system so that it takes
3 or so reports of spam before groups.io unsubscribes a user? Thanks,
Dan

Hello,
Because your Email Service Provider reported to us that one or more
messages sent to you from [email protected] has been marked as spam you
have been automatically removed from the group. We suggest that you check
your spam box as soon as possible to see if your Email Service Provider has
diverted legitimate messages into it.

You will receive no more emails from that group. If this was a mistake,
you can resume your subscription within the next 7 days by clicking the
following link:

Groups.io groups offer several options for controlling how much and what
types of emails to receive. See this Help Center article for more
information.

If this happens repeatedly please check with your email service to learn
about how they decide to send feedback reports to list services (such as
Groups.io groups).

Re: TEST MESAGE. "Fw: You have been removed from [email protected]"

 

Daniel, I recommend GMAIL. It automatically sorts this forum in to a
"forums" TAB.

Hi Folks,
This is a test for me to make sure I am re-subscribed, and a warning
to others to be careful.
I use Yahoo mail to read my tekscopes group messages (perhaps I should
not use Yahoo Mail). This morning I *accidentally* clicked on a message
and reported it as spam, then immediately restored it to my inbox realizing
it was the wrong one. It seems groups.io is on a hair trigger because it
sent me the message below. This must be a new setting because...

Re: 91% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol to clean potentiometers?

 

Hello--


I use 190-proof straight ethyl alcohol (*) to remove rosin flux and clean PC boards.
Pour a little at a time into a working container and promptly close the original
?bottle to minimize absorption of moisture from the air.

(Having experienced a chemically-induced anaphylactic-shock episode,
I'm careful about what I use for cleaners and lubricants.)

Brad? AA1IP

(*) Everclear is one brand-- a fifth (750 mL) lasts a long time.

And no, I never drink the stuff<g>.
