Re: [OT] Shocks in a large market. How to check ESD direction?

 

Hair on the wheels and some plastic of the wheels rubbing together generate lots of ES charge. Sort of like a van de graaff generator.


Re: [OT] Shocks in a large market. How to check ESD direction?

 

OK, so looking into it, a gold leaf electroscope will detect the
presence of _a charge_, but what i want is to figure out the _sign_ of
the current when an item is discharging into another item. I don't
think a gold leaf electroscope will do that, but i might be wrong. let
me know.

also why buy aluminium leaf? why not use alu foil?

Very easy.
You can use aluminum leaf available at a sign maker.

Tek TG2000 - Looking for software

 

Hi all, I can aquire a second hand TG2000 ( Video Signal generator platform ) for 50 euro but the device was for a very longtime in storage and so the NVRAM backup battery is dead and all the signal patterns need to be reloaded to NVRAM from PC. For this one needs a PC software called SDP2000 , which the seller does not have . Does anyone have a link for dowload of the software ? Thanks in advance. Greets. Johan


Re: FS: Tektronix FG501

 

John,
I have some single slot, one three slot, and a bunch of four slot TM500
frames.
I also have a bunch of 500 series plugs - sold a few recently and got some
left over ones. Let me know what you may be looking for.
Interestingly, I also have a very affordable FG501 that is listed for sale
and still available.
Let me know if you're interested in any of the above - can be offline.
Radu.

Or a perfect one if possible.

Re: Keithley anyone?

 

Yeah have a number of Keithley items (a couple 181, a couple 192, a few 197, a 228A, a 196, 150, 131, 130, 128), nothing current only working older pieces in my meter collection, and still have a 2000 that I havent fully refurbished. Have been looking for a 263 for a while.

Also a little surprised that there isnt a Keithey specific forum.


Re: Tektronix 155-0065 needed! Solved!

 

Thanks to a member of this forum (John Griessen) I was able to get my scope up and running again! Big thanks, John!


Re: 7603(?) Restoration

 

It's better that way- then you can actually use/move/drive them without too much worry.

Selling my Tektronix FG501 function generator. Works with no issues.


Re: 7603(?) Restoration

 

Yes. He certainly has some nice equipment to do that work. I wish I could do the same with my pushbuttons. I've seen the other methods but that looks the best by far.

Dang! If you scroll down from the bezel treatment, he used a pantograph
engraver to make button text,
filled with epoxy, then filed and polished to look like new gambling dice!

Truly fine looking, but I think I'll just look.

Yeah Robin is not your average bear. He goes by "robrenz" on YouTube where
he's posted a bunch of machining related videos.


Re: Keithley anyone?

 

I know what I'd like: to glom onto this forum and the Tekwiki with all the Keithley stuff. A weak argument to do this would point out that:
1. Tek now owns Keithley
2. The two companies have shared kin since 1990 with the DM5120 having some Keithley 196 innards.
:-)
Reading a Keithley manual is so much like reading a Tektronix manual. Both having high quality and same organization.

About a year or so ago, I found a website (possibly youtube video) where
the guy performed an electric and mechanical restoration on a 7000 series
scope (I think it was a 7603 but possibly 7613, 7623, 7633). The scope
looked almost brand new and I would like to review that material if
possible. Does this sound familiar to anyone here?

Thanks,
