I was a support specialist on large mainframes in the 1960s and 70s. The DC supply outputs were less than 2 volts, but at over 100A. Rings and watches were a no-no, because if you shorted a power bus

Same in down state Michigan. Forgot about the section regarding the neutral being bonded with a screw in the service panel. I'm guessing that bonds the neutral in the meter box per the wiring spec.

Never mind. Since the text is oriented properly, that's probably a dumb guess. Sorry. Thanks, Barry - N4BUQ

Does the vertical adjustment move the trace horizontally? If so, then are you sure you reconnected the pins back to the CRT correctly? Just a guess... Thanks, Barry - N4BUQ

When I got this i was not sweeping or anything I did a recap which was brutal. Now it sweeps but its sweeping vertically with no trigger. https://ibb.co/mXW6D7 weird

It is not necessarily the contact of the ring with an energized circuit that will cause trauma. The recoil from a shock with the ring catching on something that will possibly forcibly amputate the

Chuck and et al, I have just learned something new! It has been a good day. You stated that this is a new requirement. The last house that I wired was almost 15 years ago. UFER wasn't required.

Pots and switches in old equipment often have contact problems, but you don't necessarily have to replace them. First try working them over by turning the wiper through the entire mechanical range - a

Hello Group, I have this Tek 465B which was stored away for 5-6 years, and brought out again recently for routine use. As I switched this on, I noticed a few problems. 1. No output on calibrator

Hi, I have recently managed to acquire a 2645a, it is in wonderful conditions with the nvram battery still ticking since 1986. I have already performed some maintenance work, replaced all the

Hello All, Many, many years ago the BBC were setting up their second TV channel....... I said it was many years ago! During the testing they sent out various bits of film and old

Dear Group- I would like to attempt a recap of the power supply on my B03xxxx Tektronix 2232. Anyone have any tips? I see that the commonly found manuals stop at B029999. Although there is some

Thank you William. I see I need some corrections in the finer details of my recollections... It has been 20 years since I let my license lapse. In my local code, nothing but the UFER is acceptable

David and et al, For those of us who will not remove their wedding ring/s you can thoroughly wrap them in adhesive tape. There must not be any exposed metal and two layers are better than one.

Sorry. The meter box. The ground rod had to be near the pole (which I also had to put in). Vince. -- Michigan VHF Corp. http://www.nobucks.net/ http://www.CDupe.com/

Vince, Which box? The Meter Box or the Main Service panel? GOD Bless and Thanks, rich!

I agree with what Chuck just said re grounding and NEC. I don't know what the present earth ground quality requirements are, but recall when I replaced the service in one of our houses a few years

This is supposed to be a discussion about Tek scopes, and I don't mean to be rude, but safety is kind of important, and so its good to be correct about what's acceptable/unacceptable for wiring

I did a new service at a place we used to have up north. I was told the box was to be grounded with no less than an 8 foot ground rod with no less than #6 wire, #4 preferred. Vince. --
