Hi Nigel,
The only screw type electro can find is 29000uf@10V. it's the same dimensions. Should I risk the strain on the rectifiers (another 10Kuf is rather a lot)? Without this timer I am dead in the water so I need to do the right thing here... That's why I posted on the Agilent group too, I need to be sure that I do the right thing! By the way, the failed electro measures 39uf :) I reckon, the line voltage here is 250v and the equipment is set for 240V, that extra 10V on the mains is why I am having so much equipment failure. Also the Heat sink on the 5370B got so hot I mounted a 5" fan across it to keep it at a respectable temperature. How can I drop the Mains to 240V, I have a boat load of gear that needs to be powered concurrently. (8566A, 8568B, 3585A, 5335A, 5370B, 8901A, etc, powered on together) we are starting to talk some serious current there. -marki -----Original Message----- From: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com [mailto:time-nuts-boun...@febo.com] On Behalf Of gandal...@aol.com Sent: Saturday, 6 July 2013 9:37 PM To: time-nuts@febo.com Subject: Re: [time-nuts] HP 5370B Leds pulsing slowly, buttons selecting normally, PB ... As per my reply to the same question on the HP group, you've identified the problem so just go for a reasonably close-ish equivalent and replace it!

I need some advice here, Should I just use modern low ESR solder lug type soldered directly onto the board? Or Should I try and locate a screw terminal type Capacitor? Obviously, I want to do the best for this timer as I rely on it tremendously. -marki -----Original Message----- From: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com [mailto:time-nuts-boun...@febo.com] On Behalf Of Mark C.

The -5.2 is reading -4.2. Took a look with the scope and instead of a nice flat DC I see a 4V Peak to Peak spike @ 100Hz. Trying to track down a service manual. Any ideas on this one guys, if the Pass tranny was shorted, it would be a lot more than 4.2V unless the overvoltage Zener is able to sink all that current... -marki -----Original Message----- From: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com [mailto:time-nuts-boun...@febo.com] On Behalf Of Mark C.

Also all the push button LEDS are going on and off one by one. The strangest thing is that it appears to be working o/k via HPIB. I don't have extender boards but I do have a signature analyser. Could it be something silly like one of the PSU regulator has gone kaput? Has anyone seen this issue before? -marki _______________________________________________ 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. _______________________________________________ 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. _______________________________________________ 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. _______________________________________________ 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. _______________________________________________ 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.
