Re: Advice about buying a 7904
Yeah, the fans in my HP 8566A spectrum analyzer and 8350B sweeper are pretty darn loud, too.? Don't have a 7904A to compare, just a 7904.? FWIW.?Jim Ford?Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy

Michael, Yes, used on all, my B36xxxx instruments have them as well.

Re: Mystery part Type 576 Curve tracer.
Bob, Excellent! Thank you. Were these used on the much later model 576? I also have a 576 that dates from the mid 1980¡¯s and I do not recall seeing these in that unit. -- Michael

Re: 475 questions
Hi Eric, I think in the case of the +150% - 100% rated capacitor, they were using the "-" as a hyphen, not a minus sign. I think they meant to convey that the capacitor could range in value from

Re: Advice about buying a 7904
Hi Reg- What y'all need to solve the fan noise problem on the 7904 is a Type 555 mainframe! Just turn it on for a little while and when you turn it back off you won't even realize the 7904 is on!

Re: 475 questions
For the life of me I cant remember the peace of gear that cap was it but it was a filter and VERY old and I cant forget the cap cause I was shocked at the tolerance spread as well. But even in the 576

Re: Advice about buying a 7904
The 7A29 was a much better (and newer) amplifier than the 7A19 altogether. Much has been written about that and can be found on TekWiki and other sources. Raymond

Re: Advice about buying a 7904
I have a 7904 and a 7934 (obviously different but I believe the PSU is very similar to the 7904A). I find the fan noise of the 7934 becomes a distraction after a while when you are trying to

Re: Advice about buying a 7904
The fan on my 7904A is very quiet, a non issue on mine at least. I suggest that the most important thing will be finding the best instrument available around your location. Packing properly is

Re: Advice about buying a 7904
Thanks for all the responses. I also hate fan noise. That and more readily available parts make the 7904 preferable. However, I'll also look into the 7854. As I have a Tek 11801 and HP 16702B and

Re: Advice about buying a 7904
I had a 7904A recently for a short time. The fan was one reason I sold it - the noise is obnoxious to me. I don't think there was anything wrong with the fan, but I'm sensitive to that white noise -
