I don't know if he's on this group or not, but I don't think he'd mind.

Re: 2465B Probe Compensation Output
This is just a guess, but how long was the earth connection for the probe? Not using a short earth lead is a classic cause of ringing.

Re: Walter Shawlee obituary in the NY Times
Yes, nicely done.

There's a Stuff Day scheduled for 2/24. Wish I could go.
Well, I can, but I wish my wife would let me come home if I did.

@Victor,
Fair enough. I just wouldn't compare the work I did to the soldering job done by a prior owner which I would agree was hacked.
