how about buying a 3d printer and print it. i can help you with cad if you dont know how, but i only have my sda as reference, you'll need to print it in pieces one by one since it is big and glue, polish and paint later on.
Everything is not so difficult.
..The 1024x768 format is optimal for LeCroy. The font is not too small, look at my photos in the attachment.
If you do, it would be great. And it would be useful to many people. At the same time, I understand that this requires a lot of time and experience.
Other options for manufacturing the front panel, I could not find. For the imprint in the form, I turned to one company that is engaged in the production of musical instruments, but they replied that it was too difficult for them.
I think that there is no problem in ordering a printout from any company with a large printer...
Can you really do this?
But still need one detail - a plastic insert with the logo LeCroy.
Also, quite often the problem is the hind legs, which are very weak for such an instrument weight.
dont forget to search around eevblog for Lecroy SW/OS upgrade, installing from fresh disk, Win7, and err...
As with a new motherboard you also have to install the software i try my luck in this topic. Maybe someone reading in on this topic knows the solution.
So after an evening tinkering we got the unit online with the original hardware. Intel board had 3 Blown cap's. Repaired that.
Had struggles with Win2000, got SP 4 installed,
Installed all original Intel drivers that are on the Intel website for this motherboard. Including the Intel Extreme Graphic Driver for 845 chipset V6.14.10.3762
This is were the troubles starts. As soon as the driver is installed and the machine does it's reboot. The front LCD Ghosts away at the point of windows starting it's welcome screen.
And stays dark. When booting with an external monitor to the VGA port and without the AGP card inserted we are able to get an image and even start the Xstream Software and run the scope.
So we guess or the Intel driver we have is faulty, or the settings are not ok for the front LCD.
When we de-install the Intel driver we are able to run the front LCD in windows in 640x480 at 16 colors. But of coarse this is not able to run the software of 16 colors.
So all in all we revived a LeCroy from the death. All because the great info in this topic, so we were quite positive that we were able to revive it.
But missing that 1 piece of driver / setting to get it up and running with the build in screen again.
I had similar issue with the Intel D865GLC motherboard in my WaverRunner 6030A after installing the OS (in my case Windows XP) on a new HDD.
In the end I replaced the Intel MB with a spare Asrock P4i65G that I had laying around. This solved the issue for me.
Just to double check: you have set AGP to main display in the BIOS I assume?
I was once I too had chores with mounting design, when installed a different matrix to TLA704 logic analyzer.
few days ago i realized Tektronix TLA714 Logic Analyzer uses NL8060AC26-11 monitor. from looking at the datasheet, its pin compatible with Lecroy DSO monitor NL8060BC26-17, fwiw...
I've looked some more into my relay-click-and-processing-delay-on-every-acquisition issue and I think it's pointing more and more towards software, but I'm not certain how to go about fixing it yet.
I suspected the PCI interface card because the processing delay and front panel lights flashing could have been linked to issues there, but swapping for a known-good one in a WP7200 yielded the same results. I dove into the user manual to try to find things that could do it, so i suspected it getting stuck in sequence mode, and it wasn't, though the delay in loading is somewhat similar in some cases - just without the relay click. I also found that when set to roll mode the relay doesn't click and the scope behaves exactly as the working WP7200. Then I went through some variables in the X-Stream browser, and I found that in the root of the acquisition top level folder is a CalNeeded variable, which on the unit with the issue is set to 15 whereas the working WP7200 has it set to 0. I tried setting the value to zero, but it doesn't seem to allow editing it, though some others can be changed.
Since the self calibration also involves relay clocking and a second or two, I suspect this setting is forcing a recalibration with every new acquisition, and maybe this instrument was part of an automated system that required that in its former life... but I haven't yet found how to change this value. I don't see any error messages or reports in the packaged diagnostic logs that indicate missing calibration data. The automation manual mentions it and shows VB script that can change it (or at least read it?), but I'm hoping there's another edit I can make or LXI command I can give to set it to see if it fixes the issue.
I've looked some more into my relay-click-and-processing-delay-on-every-acquisition issue and I think it's pointing more and more towards software, but I'm not certain how to go about fixing it yet.my SDA (based on WM8K i think) do this calibration-processing when i change vertical V/div scale (each time change iirc even when i get back to previous scale) and on few timescale changes a click, but when i stick to the same vertical and horizontal scale setting, calibration wont click again. i guess this is how it works? i read comments of free_electron on how annoying it is to him, he even complained this to lecroy to no effect. there's menu in utilities iirc to disable this calibration process, if i disable it, i got fewer clicks but it still clicks sometime. according to manual/text, it will click when there is temperature changes, so maybe this is an issue if we get frequent clicks? not sure. mine is a used one so i dont know how it was when new.
Well i found the option in Utilities > Prefference Setup Automatic calibration if temperature change occurs. But if we turn it off we do not see a difference either. So this problem may be rooted deeper into the software. Or is the way this device works as Mechatrommer says.
here's the updated version of approximated WP/WM 3D parts. earlier version removed...
disclaimer: i believe there are some differences in dimensions and shapes, esp the curves, so i dont think i infringe anybody's patent
i've also added them into my thingiverse collection... https://www.thingiverse.com/soasystem/designs
fwiw...

But, really, it would be nice to turn it off.
[...]I think the key pointer towards an error is a CalNeeded value of 15. At least in the xstream documentation, they only describe CalNeeded values up to 8, and the one that works properly reports 0 (as it should when not needing drift compensation).
Based on hexadecimal bit value, it provides following information:
0x00000001: Front end calibration is required
0x00000002: Digitizers delay matching is required
0x00000004: Digitizers gain matching is required
0x00000008: Trigger level calibration is required
0xFFFFFFFF(-1): All of above calibrations are required
