This other week I decided to change the resistors for the HV multiplier in my Tektronix 2215.
They have component designation: R878, R879, R880, R881, R882, and R884.
Only after did I realize that the originals where not carbon composition but film resistors.
So it was a pointless endeavor and they all measured fine, but hey, it's pictures of Tek gear so how can you complain?

Don't worry, there's lots of other carbon comp resistors in there to poke at. I often find them to be out of spec in the gear I repair.
I would be careful about swapping them out, just be sure they won't affect the adjustment of the scope (unless you can readjust it).
yup. Would not bid more, got too much stuff already.
- Continued with my small arcade
- had a huge bummer wrt potential buyer of the appartment called and declined
- will need to contact realtor tomorrow
- set up ultrasonic and started disassembling the Dracula pb. Which btw was called back into life by a heart transplant. (I mounted a spare CPU board)
Not feeling that great, winter blues.That sounds like the werewolves calling their Dracula out to play / dinner
Here, see my wolf at work:
calling it burnt moose pee would be charitable.
Googling things? Shouldn't Fenrir just ask Hugin or Munin?

That depends; Only if Oden has given permission.
Mythological backstory: FRA / The National Defense Radio Establishment, our SIGINT organisation, has always had the raven close; the two DC-3 planes FRA and the Air Force flew SIGINT missions with during the 50s were called Hugin and Munin. (Hugin was shot down with loss of all crew by a MIG-15 in 1952, which was a secret until 1991; the plane was found and lifted from the bottom of the Baltic sea in 2003.). The raven is pretty common around the FRA campus just outside Stockholm.
Also, MUST, our military intelligence organisation, has the raven on its shoulder patch. Rarely worn on mission, I assume.
Hmm I'm getting a "divide by Discord" error message...
@factory, was it you that was interested in that TDR that keeps getting relisted? The current price is giving my trigger finger twitches...
EDIT: Yes Specmaster, it's Saturday, now stop painting yer bleedin' banister!
It was, I think it's quite near me too, so would pick up to avoid snapped off handle syndrome.

Someone's stuck a bid on it, hope it's you, 'cos it ain't me.
Measurement instruments: You must have the ability to
measure AC and DC Volts, resistance and DC current. A digital
multimeter with 3200 counts display will probably be OK.
Verification of function will be considerably easier if you can
generate tone, look at tone, measure frequency, and check capacitance
and resistance. I collect test equipment, and I used 2 multimeters,
two oscilloscopes, a distortion analyser, a low-distortion tone
generator, a DC clamp Ampère meter, a frequency counter, and a LCR
meter.
If you're getting only one instrument beyond the multimeter,
try for the scope. Literally any scope in existence will be good
enough: A 10MHz analog scope will do. One channel is OK.
As third instrument I would suggest a tone generator. It should
at least do sine waves at audio frequency, and able to have an
output level of about 100mV.

Remember this is that well known oxymoron military intelligence, so yeah, they probably do wear it on mission.

My very limited experience with Those People gives me the impression that they very much know their job. Not to be underestimated.
I concur with Cerebus' "porridge" (or what it was) verdict regarding the alloy Hammond are using. ctions document; praising the virtues of a large TE collection:

in my first job we had very nice R&S equipment and knew our adversaries by their voice, their communication, their location, their ... I digress ...
