Re: 7904 pre-260000 PSU crackling

Re: Adapter PCBs for 148-003x-00 relay replacement
Hi Wolfgang,
I understand. I plan to pursue those relays on my own but just wanted to ask just in case.
I'm still interested in getting a few of your boards as I have two 7A13s and I think the 7A12

I don't think I need one.

Re: Tek T-130 LC - add mains/EMC filter or not?
Over the years I have heard that the meter scales on certain HP gear were custom ruled as part of initial calibration, so specific to the individual instrument, but I have no idea of which ones are

Re: Tek T-130 LC - add mains/EMC filter or not?
When I started working on mine, I found that bits of the meter scale were flaking off; so, I made an accurate photo of it. (I have a fairly good digital macrophotography setup). If the scale gets bad

Would love to have one but it would make all my other Tek stuff look bad even though I've put a lot of effort into spiffing all of them up!

Re: Tek T-130 LC - add mains/EMC filter or not?
Wow - I had spotted my scale is non-linear but had not appreciated that they were individual to the meter.
When you say 'meter' do you mean one scale for that particular range of meters as used in

Re: Tek T-130 LC - add mains/EMC filter or not?
I have to redraw the scale for mine, it's faded beyond readability. If those scales weren't individual to the meter the redrawn scale might be of some use to others.

Re: Tek T-130 LC - add mains/EMC filter or not?
I agree - no line filter is needed. I'd say also that no extra trim plate is needed either unless the metalwork has been messed up. I changed my 130s to IEC recently by filing out the hole periphery

Re: 7904 pre-260000 PSU crackling
