How rare/common is the fancy shielding on a scope? I don't travel with a scope so it's never been an issue for me.   A friend just got his first scope, some sort of mid 1980s Kenwood. He emailed kenwood in japan and they send a scan of the manual. Sort of jealous of it in fact.

Such scopes must be sited well away from the work bench and other items of test gear.   Or else the trace shimmers horribly at 50/60 Hz. Major scam, IMO.     ..... Phil

Was able to find one for $10. But I decided to first open up the control panel and take a look.   Inside was a printed manual with schematic, timing diagrams, diagnostics for some of the controls, etc. Additionally, in tiny print a schematic was pasted to the inside rear of the control panel.   Turned out the wall socket, which I should have checked first, was dead and the washing machine was fine.

It goes on and on about all the places the solder connections will crack. It's sort of sad actually. The guide is clearly written to satisfy quick and dirty warranty repairs.

Since the laptop is charging the battery while it is turned off, and I didn't want to wait for the battery to come to full charge, I simply removed the battery where possible:   Acer Chromebook 14 PS only 0 watts PS with laptop turned off 0 watts   HP Pavilion dv8263dl PS only 0 watts PS with laptop turned off 3 watts HP Pavilion dv6-1253cl PS only 0 watts PS with laptop turned off 0 watts     -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

I haven't seen those in years. I forgot about Philmore making them.
