Please be VERY VERY careful. To be honest its far safer to use CCFL drivers and rectify them with camera diodes in series and the absolute minimum capacitance for the job, shunted with a high value resistor. I have a few inverters , 10M resistor packs and diode strips here if anyone has a use

Maybe one bad resistor? I've read that tin whiskering can occur even on relatively recent equipment, slower than lead free but still a problem. I'd do a visual inspection just to see, shouldn't be an issue. -A From: volt-nuts

Can you make use of an LM3900? I have one here *somewhere*. I think its a quad Norton, not sure how long its been there for. also have a few canned op-amps etc -Andre From: volt-nuts <volt-nuts-boun...@febo.com> on behalf of Attila Kinali

Yes I have relevant experience with Lifters, fingerprints generally are a nightmare. May also be worth mentioning that different grades of IPA are more or less useful, it absorbs water in its pure form so this needs to be taken into account. Use "no clean" fluxed solder if possible as it works

I will have a look in my box of Tek stuff! It would also be worth asking someone at Offshore Electronics or Polar, as they often have strange stuff which gets recycled otherwise. Can someone please send me a picture of the component and I will check with the folks at "Lightbulb Nights" too.

but if you connect it properly eg with an oil droplet and clamp connnector using compatible vernier it should be fine. Looking at how wiring in the US is done might give you some ideas. Kind regards, -Andre From: volt-nuts <volt-nuts-boun...@febo.com> on

thermal pad: it almost worked but in the end it was cheaper and simpler to buy one ready made (cough REF02 /cough) Also relevant, since originally buying my RS IDM65 you can now get I2C precision CT references which can replace the troublesome parts with something that
