); SAEximRunCond expanded to false Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RETRY This is an interesting discussion about gold. Thanks to all those who have posted. My question is -- I've noticed that almost all my old HP instruments, from the 60's and some decades thereafter, use a large amount of gold on all the PCB traces and many component leads. It gave them a premium look, even artistic beauty in some cases. I always assumed it was for performance, reliability, and longevity.
So when was it discovered that using gold was a bad idea? Is this only for mil-spec stuff or for regular laboratory test equipment too? /tvb _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
