RANTS!
Michael Dunn
This is to officially announce the posting of my RANT page. If you care, here's where to find it:
As the heading says: Okay, I'm giving in to self-indulgent rambling. Here's my long-awaited list of Rants, Screw-Ups, Scams, Stupidity, and sundry Bad Things, for your amusement and my mental health. Sorry about the pictures. Only about 250K total... md |

"Bookmarks" at the Yahoo site
Michael Dunn
One of the features of the TekScopes site at YahooGroups is a "Bookmarks" section, where we can enter web links of interest. Walter has already put his site address there. Anyone else with a Tek-related site -- feel free to put yours there too!

New group features
Michael Dunn
As some of you already know, eGroups has now been folded into the Yahoo groups family. If you're solely an e-mail user, don't worry, you don't have to change anything.
If you use the web site, you'll probably need to do some housekeeping next time you connect. It's not TOO painful. The good news is, there are some new and useful web features: 1. When looking at the message list, you can expand it to show the full text of messages, not just the headings. Almost as good as an archive, which unfortunately is still absent. You can select how many messages are displayed in your preferences. 2. Even better, there's now a search function (I guess eGroups had something too, but it didn't seem to work very well if I recall). Type in a search term (e.g., Vineland, MkIV, SQ, 549 :-), and up pops a message list with all messages containing the term...

We finally organized and posted all our Tek semiconductors,
along with cross ref data, and they are now on line here: we will keep adding more parts categories, like controls, knobs, etc. as time permits. hope this is helpful to everybody. we will keep adding more cross-ref data for those who just need to know what is what, and can get the parts locally. all the best, walter |

8608
Michael Dunn
Yoohoo. I got a pair of NOS, Tek-boxed 8608 tubes for the vertical of my 556! They work great. Has anyone else had an 8608 fail on them. My bad one had a grid short. I noticed it because the vertical position knob acted like a light dimmer, making the tube glow incandescent white depending on the setting!!!

Sick 7704A
Hi,
I just bought a 7704A which works, but poorly. It only has a bandwidth of 170MHz and the tube blooms badly at a low intensity. It looks like it needs a new tube but does anyone know whether a weak tube affects the bandwidth, or do I have other problems? My other 7704A was tested at the same time and had a 240MHz bandwidth. Is there a source for replacement tubes? Can someone give me a few hints. Just a small thing. I have a number of TM500 modules with broken plastic edges which look ugly. I have started to fix them by cutting a section from the hood of a DB25 connector with a matching color. Glue it in place with cyanoacrylate plastic cement and the device looks good again.
