Re: Low cost Scope-Mobile alternatives?
Careful with the low voltage distribution to avoid differences in ground potential or ground loops. Also, a lot of equipment is designed and tested to be safe with the supplied power supply, a larger

Re: 7A29 attenuator fault corrosion issue
Adrian, Thank you for the insight. I have the same problem with several 7A29s. They worked fine years ago, but now all except for one and a 7A29P have the issue you describe. I thought it might be the

Re: Low cost Scope-Mobile alternatives?
I have two full ones on my computer desk, and I'm trying to find room for a third strip. It's either that, or I need to build a 12V, 9V, and 5V distribution system to replace almost two dozen warts. I

That's an OK tower, but it's not Blaw Knox cool like the WLW or WSM towers. :) Michael A. Terrell

Re: Low cost Scope-Mobile alternatives?
I second that.? ?Just bought 3 of them a few weeks ago myself.? Paid more than $15, though.? Screwed them to the back of my (wooden) work bench.? ?Room for a few more should the need arise....

Re: Source for 1/8" fibreglass or other hard plastic rod in UK
Hi David, If you want I can purchase something like what you are looking for. Hobby shops in my area sell carbon fiber rods and they are not very expensive. Alternatively I can give you what I have

Re: Low cost Scope-Mobile alternatives?
Check out their four foot, 12 outlet power strips while you're there. They go on sale for $15 fairly often. I bought four more the last time. That makes about eight or nine of them, so far.

Re: OT: Scopes and other electronics on "The Outer Limits"
The remake reused many of the original scripts but it had much better props. The one they really should have remade was the original, 'Galaxy Being'. That so called radio station looked like something

Re: [OT] Philips PP 1071 electronic switch unit
Thanks also to Leon Robinson, who also suggested (in a direct e-mail) to check-out the 2-channel switch model from Heathkit. (BTW Leon: your ISP, SBCglobal, is wrongly rejecting mails from my IP).

Re: Low cost Scope-Mobile alternatives?
We used to pile three feet or more of heavy old HP equipment on each cart at Microdyne. When something needed serviced or calibrated, the entire cart was rolled into the cal lab. We used the larger

Re: Low cost Scope-Mobile alternatives?
My interest is a cart that can hold the heavier stuff and rack with like the 11k Scopes. The next card I need will have to hold an HP synthesizer that weighs 70 lb and hopefully a spectrum analyzer on

Re: OT: Scopes and other electronics on "The Outer Limits"
All in the technology of the times. Note that they did not imagine any kind of technology (interface wise) that was different from what they had, just that it did futuristic stuff.

Re: Low cost Scope-Mobile alternatives?
It's not that hard to bend up a larger top pan, with hand tools. Or add a piece of plywood, and a hold down strap. There are cheap belts on Ebay that would work fine. These are what I bought to wear,

Re: Low cost Scope-Mobile alternatives?
The welding cart is nice in it has a sloping front, but the one I looked at Harbor Freight just doesn't have the depth to handle the 7603 from what I could tell. --Al

Re: Low cost Scope-Mobile alternatives?
I have a bunch of these in both the shop, and in the house. They are sturdy enough, but a piece of plywood under the bottom shelf makes them even stronger.

Re: Low cost Scope-Mobile alternatives?
How about a cheap welding cart, or make a copy of the design from the online manual? https://www.harborfreight.com/welding-cart-69340.html Michael A. Terrell

Re: Low cost Scope-Mobile alternatives?
Haha - I just looked at those Harbor Freight ones someone linked. That's the kind I was picturing, whether plastic or metal. Some are kind of spendy, but if you look at the coupons, there's a 3-shelf
