Hi Magnus,
I was surprised to read that you had needed help to resolve the problem as,
not to over-inflate your ego, you seem to be very experienced and knowledgable.
So don't tease us - what was it?

Do you know if the Solartron 7060 (I think of the same vintage), has the
same problem ?

Hi all, I dont know whether it is pertinent but it may pay to collect dta on
this one as there are fairures reported in many makes of equipment. the
failing part in my kit has a datecode (??) of 8922F on the paper label on
the side. By my reckoning that would be week 22 of 1989, which ties in with
Hi,
Not too sure bout the 7060, but the 7061 has the same problem, at least mine
did. I'm pretty certain the 7060 will be the same. I don't think it's a batch

Another article I will see if I can find it took a different
slant. Since it can take two to three years for a whisker to
grow enough to cause a short. It is a big plus for the
consumer industry. Finally a built in failure mechanism to
force the consumer to have to buy again, and again, and again.
That's kind of part of the scam in my opinion, we now create much more
electronic trash in the name of removing miniscule amounts of environmentally
unsafe lead from products..
Forget about running your new Agilent counter for 25+ years like we used to
be able to do...

It is amazing the loops we go though. I remember being involved in whiskers
about 40 years ago. the information I got then is that tin wgiskers only
grow from pure tin, I cant now remember the level of alloying that is
necessary to suppress the growth. The problem I had tuened out to be a
