HP equipment from the 1980's is pretty immune to the problem because they typically use hermetically sealed mil spec tantalum capacitors.  Tektronix equipment from the 1980's is infested with tantalum problems because they used the cheap epoxy dipped parts. Tantalum failures are pretty rare in equipment that is run continuously.  

If need be we can pull the mil drawings as a group and compare them. I learned this lesson by proxy in the days I worked for a cable TV manufacturer and a tech made the mistake for a second time and got his pay docked the repair cost from HP. Fortunately, the parts cost was small.

. :-) The CRT was a little mil surplus 3p... But enough of that. Whats the chance of finding the article that would be a kick.

I thought that maybe .mil was under a DOS attack. Thanks for the second source. >> >> Le 9 juil. 2014 à 14:30, Brian Inglis a écrit : >> >>> On 2014-07-09 01:30, mike cook wrote: >>>> times out. Can I get it from anywhere else?

Last page in the 75 book is >> a description of MIL-STD-883B >> >> Interesting parts.. They aren't kidding when they say you need good power >> supply bypassing and decoupling.

Fellow solicitors, As you know the Local Tax Enabling Act authorizes up to a 3 mil tax for the purchase of fire equipment and other expenses relating to fire fighting.

Matt, Unfortunately you have one connector that is to true MIL-Specification that is the Amphenol female with the blue inserts in the shell. The other is an older shell with the same pin configuration made by BENDIX the black insert. There is an obvious difference as you show.
