I would be happy to set up a wiki at febo.com, if someone would like to
administer it. I have life-stuff going on at the moment that would make
it hard for me to commit to any new challenges.
(I actually had a time-nuts wiki on the old server, but since it wasn't
being used I didn't carry it forward onto the new machine.)

A time-nuts wiki page would be pretty cool. Topics on all sorts of nuttery
with links to manuals and such.

Hi Stan,
It gets like a broken record, but the first place I always go when a
formerly working piece of test equipment stops working is the power
supply.
Check the power supply voltages for both value, and ripple.
Then check all of the electrolytic capacitors for ESR. It only takes
one, in a loop somewhere, that has opened up to completely hose the
operation.
Tantalums are notorious for becoming short circuit... Fortunately, HP
never
really endorsed the epoxy dipped tantalums, like Tektronix did. However,
the
milspec axial leaded caps they did use sometimes open circuit.
The 5065 is loaded with carbon composition resistors (IIRC). They are
noted
for drifting out of range... particularly the high value resistors.
The very last place to go is any adjustments!
Is there some way we could make up a FAQ and have it available
somewhere to save having to dig through reams of old group postings?
This is the area where a web based forum would score or even like the
monthly usenet postings.
Cheers,
Steve
