Re: [OT] Datasheet for NC7033 or NCR7033 NVRAM needed.
The story I'd heard was that Intel learned that silicon nitride is excellent at gettering or otherwise blocking sodium. They pissed away a fortune trying to make a good gate insulator out of the

Re: Working on the HV Section of a 533A
Guessing you both know the trick about holding a little NE-51 or similar neon bulb in close proximity to the HV section to confirm its operation? If your HV section is working, the little neon will

Re: Working on the HV Section of a 533A
Jeff, Brenda is right about the corona dope. Leave those strips in. Clean them to remove dust. I have not seen any of the black beauties any good. These are a wax condenser in a plastic case. I

Re: Working on the HV Section of a 533A
Hi Jeff, I am glad that I was able to contribute this this forum. I would have to say, in my opinion, since you started to clean that section, you should keep cleaning it until it is spotless. I have

Brenda, thanks for that tip; I had never heard of "corona dope" before, but a quick google search (on the correct term) reveals all. Any idea how I would test be certain that everything is okay? I

Re: Working on the HV Section of a 533A
Hi Jeff! Great to see you are working on your 533A! I have one as well, but it's in really bad shape on the inside. Those 2 back strips is perfectly normal. My 535A and my 545A is like that as well. I

Working on the HV Section of a 533A
Fresh off of several victories with my 7603 and plug-ins, I turned my attention tonight to the 533A and found the courage to peek inside the left half of the HV section (the section on the opposite

Yeah, Tom, I remember reading about Gordon Moore or somebody else at Intel meeting with a gentleman from another semiconductor house and revealing the sodium issue in exchange for the solution to

Re: [OT] Datasheet for NC7033 or NCR7033 NVRAM needed.
Early yes, standard not so much. The 7033 is an MNOS (sic) EAROM. The underlying enabling principle was discovered when Gordon Moore punked the entire industry into chasing nitride gates as the

[OT] Datasheet for NC7033 or NCR7033 NVRAM needed.
Sorry for the OT but I'm getting desperate - it's supposed to be a standard early NVRAM but it and it's data-sheet seem to be unobtanium. Regards, Dave

Re: Looking for data on 9-pin Vacuum time delay relays used in old Tek-scopes
A few years ago the time delay relay in my 555 died and lacking a replacement I had to cobble up a substitute. I repurposed an old device I had made to trigger a super 8 movie camera (remember them?)

Yes the 754s are really good scopes. I've got two, an A and a D. I am dreading the day when I need to get after this problem. I've already backed up the contents of the NVRAM via the floppy drive

If the trace can center, then the circuit is in balance as far as the + section and - section are concerned, putting the same voltage on the plates. There is, however, no guarantee that it's the
