Re: Advice about buying a 7904
Wouldn't it be possible to use the kludge that I'm sure I wasn't alone in using periodically to "repair" glass fuses? A piece of appropriate fuse-wire was soldered to the end-caps of the blown fuse.

Re: Nice Document Site with Tek manuals; New to me
For the larger circuit diagrams, I simply go to a local print shop and get them to print them on A3 paper.
Very cheap, very quick, very simple, and perfectly adequate on the few occasions when I need

HP triggering was far
Hi Dennis,
What was in HP scope's triggering that made it far superior to Tektronix's?

Re: Nice Document Site with Tek manuals; New to me
Folks,
I have an HP Business 2800 Inkjet which will print out full size Tek or HP schematics as well but I suspect we are more of an exception.

Sean,
Thanks.
That fuse looks pretty easy to make with a 3D printer and an electroplater. If someone wants a 3D printer but SWMBO says no, here's a good argument for getting one. "It's a

Re: In Defense of the 7A19
Hi John,
I'm sure Tek's 7904/7A19/7B90 introduction was sweet revenge.
HP switched to battling for the crown in Portables next but Tek was on solid ground starting with the first 1nSec risetime 485
