Re: 7854 - No RO in SCOPE + WF modulates RO in STORED
Thanks Albert. I'm wondering if the fact that there is absolutely no readout in SCOPE mode (rather than a wobbly readout) would direct me to a different starting point. Best - Ram

Re: Resistor in series
For A.B. "hot-moulded carbon composition resistors" (for Panasonic ones too) the effect of "moisture" ingress (a.k.a. gaseous water molecules = water vapour = moisture) is to always increase

Re: OT: Analog Computer Comdyna GP-6
And, come to think of it, my parents' 1971 Volvo had a hybrid or analog computer under the driver's seat.? It was one of the first cars with fuel injection, and in retrospect, that may have had to do

I do SMD rework/repair, on occasion. I determined that a reflow oven was frequently required as solder connection quality/failure were not infrequent issues. I built one based on a modified

Sadly, nearly all of those Boston area stores are gone. You-Do-It Electronics is still open; it now has a significant selection of maker stuff from Sparkfun and Velleman (and a few Adafruit items)

I was in the Navy in the 60s as a FT (gun fire controlman). The analog computer that aimed the guns was the Mark 1 Able (MK1A). While not as accurate as digital methods, analog computers have the

The EIA stuff used piecewise diodes and had programmable DFGs. The manual includes the complicated procedure of reducing an arbitrary function to coefficients within the component constraints. See

Yeah, the "tap-dance of relays adjusting circuits" still occurs these days, for example in spectrum analyzers doing auto alignments.? They sense when you're in the middle of a critical measurement

Ed, Thanks for the suggestions! I will dig a bit further into the box when I can get to it - it's sitting behind several large boxes of stuff. Steve H. [email protected]> wrote:
