hi guys, i bought 2304A few day ago from ebay.de for 150€ shipped. Inside looks clean, some particle of dust but nothing hardcore. I clean it.
I noticed a little mod board marked as Keithley wired to DG408 and glued with double sided tape. Do you know why ?
Voltage looks good, can be set up, current also. Device switch between CC/CV without issue. Only thing i notice is little chirp noise from inside, no matter if is loaded or not. I try to record it. I will try to find source, maybe is it only bearings inside FAN, maybe is it something more serious.
Is it neccesary to change electrolytic caps ? they are nichicon/nippon chemicon but device is marked 1997 so they are 20 years old.
here is video. I dont know if you will hear it but i can.

i try to push components with plastic marker, same pitch. I measured all voltages on testpoints - all correct and stable.
