4xx Portable Feet Repros Available
OK folks,
I think I have the process in pretty good control. I am willing to
cast some replacement feet for 453, 454, -A, 464, and I think they
also fit the 465, 475, 485 series of scopes. (These

Re: Oscilloscopes 101 - eBay
Have seen some unbuilt Heathkits (scopes and other pretty trivial gadgets) go for astronomical prices, though I'm not not looking often now. Ego-bid war between two will do it: $900 IIRC, and several

Re: lethality of HV
Ironically it was at Siemens where I was working for when one fellow got
electrocuted. It seems he grabbed on to a 480VAC 3 phase buss while pulling
himself up from underneath a linear accelerator.

Re: lethality of HV
Twenty years ago, when I worked for Siemens in Munich, after hours, if there
was no one in the lab we were not allowed to work with anything electrical,
that included 5 V lab supply, soldering iron

One of the better (and readily available) devices to painlessly dissipate

Re: lethality of HV
In the Tektronix book "Biophysical Measurements" book, it states that it
only takes 10mA of current to stop the human heart if a circuit path through
it is created (like hand to hand or hand to foot).

Re: lethality of HV
More about static electricity - it takes 5kV to even have a sensation from
it, due to skin resistance, etc. That is why static damage is so easy. Some
components like JFETS can be damaged at

Re: lethality of HV
It all depends on the current. For an anode accerating system, there is
very little (or no) current, so the power supply only has small capacitors
in the voltage multiplier. There is maybe 10-20

Re: 7704a
Nice system. My every day 'scope is a 7704A with a selection of plug-ins
depending on what I'm doing. I use the 7B80/85 combo though, becuase it

lethality of HV
A friend of mine is afraid to work on a three gun projector, which coincidentally has the same anode voltage as the 7704, 7904, etc, 24 KV.
It is my understanding that this voltage is not lethal,

Re: 7704a
Great scope.
The timbases are older than the scope, but compatible.
The optimal timbaes are
7B80 (horizontal slot 2, main)
7B85 (horizontal slot 1, delaying)
The 7A18 are inferior to the 7A26, but
