Wow.... a rainbow indeed ! Purple, white/beige, brown, and black as BD said.... someone for everyone ! :-DD
Me I prefer the bright yellow ones. Like the colour, plus it makes those horror caps easier to spot !! 8)
Second pic shows also an example of the one shaped like a silver mica as BD mentioned... hmmm... trap for young players here, didn't know about that, will keep that in mind...

Actually they are even worse than that. Below is the one that got me for nearly 2 hours. The brown one. The whole unit it was in was stuffed with silver mica capacitors which didn't help
This was how deep the surgery was to find that bastard...
I won in the end.

But bd139, you can't drop a juicy hint like that and not elaborate!, what is this book you speak of?!
(currently 6 smirnoffs, 1 shochu, and 2 beers in to the long road of inebriation.. fun! )

That is a suitable amount of alcohol to ingest before hitting eBay with the credit card :-DD
As for the book, been mulling the idea of writing a book for about ten years. Subject matter is basically all those bits of info that everyone should know before doing a Udemy “how to code” tutorial. I encounter a lot of people who can’t even visualise what a computer or network looks like past some opaque magic and expect me to fill the gaps in :-DD

I don't know what they are teaching the kids nowadays. I remember explaining the concept of "virtual memory" (the 2000's-era Windows disk cache variety, not the 64-bit memory space variety) to one of the developers in my IT department years ago. :palm: I think there are many fledgling software developers that take everything at the OS-level and below (down to hardware) completely for granted and give no thought to it until they are punched in the face by reality. To me, the advantage of university is having your lessons put in context (history, business, computational theory, computer design, OS design, project management, und so weiter). Also, get off of my lawn.

At work, we've established that we need a Timing Interval Analyser. I tried buying the one Robert had for sale, but was too late. Does anyone else have a hp 5371A or one of the Yokogawa TA series, or similar, they'd be willing to part with?
It needs to be reasonably well working (another break with the spirit) and it can cost some money (again, against the very moral fibre!) but not "Korea instrument reseller insane". An official-looking invoice is a cool thing. In Europe is a definite bonus.

Hmmm... it's really big as well, helps mistaking it with a mica :--
I admire your ability to work on that scope with on a bench so cramped. Were it me it would take only a split second to inadvertently knock half of the stuff off the bench :scared:
Can't believe you got rid of that cool SA plugin ! :scared:
OH now that reminds me that before you left for your 6 months sabbatical away from society, you had just bought a lovely 7000 series transistor curve tracer, didn't you ?! So you got rid of that as well, ARRRRRRRRGH !!! :horse: :scared: :( :( :( :( :(
