I've just replaced a Solartron 7150+ with another the same. The new unit is low hours ex-MOD. It was last calibrated in 2004 and probably hasn't seen the light of day since. So (thinks I), I'll just have a play before I strip the filter for a rebuild. 15 minutes is all it took for the

It's a double oven oscillator (vectron I believe) as opposed to the 1/2 tbolts that only have a single oven that everyone else has from the 911 units. This one has other additional features like full power supply conditioning (just add 48v power supply) and can have firmware upgraded.

[time-nuts] HP5372A CRT schematics

Fellow Time-nuts, I have problem with a HP5372A, where the CRT failed and only shows a vertical line of compressed graphics. Obviously something is broken in the drive-side. So, does anyone have the schematics and possibly other service info for the CRT module? I can't recall seeing any

If it is a Sony with the non-fr4 board material, look for a hairline crack in the board with the flyback, the unit may have been dropped in shipping. Jim Cotton n8qoh Magnus Danielson wrote: Fellow Time-nuts, I have problem with a HP5372A, where the CRT failed and only shows a vertical

Hi Ian, never taken an FN372 apart, not really worth it as they are about £25 from RS components. Most filters are epoxy potted so I think you will have to use a lot of brute force to open it up and then break up the epoxy.   Robert G8RPI.  --- On Tue, 27/10/09, gonzo moto cadbl...@hotmail.com

[time-nuts] 10 MHz - 1 pps divider?

2009-10-27 Thread Marco IK1ODO
Anyone knows of a commercially available 10 MHz - 1pps divider chain, built or in kit form? I know that it may be very simple or not, depending from implementations. A desirable feature would be the ability to sync the pps output to a reference pps at the start of a measurement cycle. Easy to

15 minutes is all it took for the signature ffzzt pop of the filter letting go. It has (to say the least), forced the issue. Now I've removed all the solder around the earth pin, but I still can't get the cover off. Does it just require brute force to pull it off or there

Cheers Robert, indeed you are right. I've peeled the shield apart and it is (as you suggest) full of some sort of potting compound. Given it's only got about $1 worth of caps in it, I thought it would be worth a try. I think the hardest part will be getting rid of the smell. ian Hi Ian,

It is a (mostly Z3801A) clone made for Nortel by Trimple. It speaks Trimble, so Lady Heather can discipline it. It can not be jumper-ed to run RS-232 - RS-485 only. The insides are completely different from the Z3801A, the rear I/O is the same except that it accepts +20-30V (+27 to + 27.6V
