Last week I purchased one P6860 from AAAPortal. It is a sacreficial cable, in that I planned to open the probe-heads to gander at what is inside them. As Sailor stated, his probes were of so-so quality. The photo that AAAPortal posted in his adv (the only thing we as buyers can see about the product) does not match what I received. One of the probe-heads was missing the elastomer-strip, while the other was present. In opening the probe-heads, there is a distinctive line of 'grunge' which one can see in the high-frequency hybrid board photo, just below the input resistor dividers. I found the 'grunge' difficult to remove. At first I tried using denatured alcohol + scrubbing, and then switched to acetone using a short stiff bristle PCB brush and after serious scrubbing, a bit of it was removed. Ok, well...the reason I bought the cable (I now own five P6860s & 1x TLA7AA4 module)...determine if there is a way to hack together a simple mechanical interface for low-speed, flying lead operation, at least until I have fabricated a PCB to flying-lead or Mictor board PCB adapters using my P6860 Eagle PCB 'component' for the other four P6860 probes I bought from a different vendor. In the opening process, I took a few photos and a couple of rough measurements, and also I created a mechanical drawing, for folks persual. bench_knob |

Fellow TLA scopesters, freinds, FYI.... Four used compression probes for TLA7AAx (P6860), with all the accessories (grey & black elastomer holders) & nut-bars for $130 (+13 shpg), the four probes are each shipped in very nice metal zippered charcol anti-static bags. I bought a set of these, they were quality undamaged cables. I am very happy with the cables I received. They are again available. eBay: 131212953795 bench knob edt: fix fu's |

Did you ever complete the Mictor 38 connector layout? I'm setting up to do one, so any head start would be great. |

hi i know i'm a bit late, but just want to add value to the thread rather than making another spanking new but valueless one. currently trying to make breakout/adapter pad for the P6860.. just to let anyone know who will come in the future that from http://w140.com/tek_p6800-series_manual.pdf page 2-28 (page 72 in my pdf reader) the dimensions provided are closely matched what TiN provided in reply #1 except most of the dimensions are given as absolute position from origin (the big lock hole on the right) so it can be used as reference as well (attached), fwiw... |

Hi, want to ask if someone try to solder wires direct to the probe head. I have one probe with elastomer holder and one w/o (both are P6860). Think to disassembly one w/o elastomer holder and to solder some pcb with flying leads on it. |
