If you are willing to take a China-risk here is a good price for lots of three of them. I've bought some stuff from this seller and it has all seemed legit and worked properly... Of courese, YMMV

Corby, Thanks for the information. I was not aware of the relocated resistor. Yes, it is the DC feed-throughs. Any thaughts on a possible replacement for OPA111? I have also duplicated the revised A7 AC-Amplifier boardusing film capacitors for the notch filters and modernOP-Amps. Since I have

Hi The gotcha with coating (at least with RF coils is that the adsorption / desorption process gets really crazy. You may slow the “going in” part down to a week. The “getting out” part may turn into (many) months. That’s what makes the “stored on a shelf and then turned on” thing a mess. It

However the dimensions of the coil former vary with moisture content. Impregnation with waxes and other organic materials merely serves to slow down the rate of absorption and doesn't prevent it. Bruce > On 28 November 2017 at 12:36 Poul-Henning Kamp wrote: > > >

Hi If the coil form really is plain old cardboard. I wonder what the impact of humidity is? With the heat rise and all the packing, it’s going to be a pretty indirect effect. It might be an issue on a unit that had been stored powered off for a number of years. Straight cardboard *is* an issue

Made some measurements on a 5065A optical unit. -There are 3 layers in the magnetic shield. -There is about 1/8" of insulation between the outer and middle, and between the middle and inner shields. -The C-field winding is wound on a cardboard form that fits tightly into the inner shield.

Ulf, Be careful if you are going to duplicate the new style A9 for use in a chassis that was built for the old style! On the old style chassis one of the resistors is mounted on the rear of the front panel loop switch. This resistor is mounted on the A9 module for the new style chassis. Which
