Wanted: Side frame for HP 4815A Vector Impedance Meter - Page 1

content: My 'spring cleanup' continues. Currently I'm putting back together a HP 4815A vector impedance meter that's been sitting around in pieces since about 2005. Bought from USA, it arrived with shipping damage. One side frame had the handle broken off. I'd found a replacement side frame, taken the unit apart to replace it, then had a priority interrupt. The 4815A lay around in pieces (in bags) ever since.Now putting it back together for mounting in mynew 'to repair queue' rack, I discovered that the *other* side frame is bent too. Only a little, but it's diecast alloy, and you can guess what happened when I tried to straighten it. I thought heating up the bent part then trying slow force via a jig and G-clamp miiiiight work, but no. It cracked.So, does anyone have a scrapped piece of HP 'old style frame' gear with a 4U (177mm, 7" H) side frame? See pic.I'm also looking for:- A pair of rackmount brackets to suit that frame. See bracket profile pic.- A card service extender for the 4815A.

content: Hmm, crickets.I'm quite surprised to fail in ebay & net searching for the rack brackets. Ones for these old HP diecast side-frame instruments seem to be non-existent. I need the 4U (177mm, 7" H) size.Brackets kit PN: 5070-0766 ( 5020-0710 LH, 5020-0711 RH )The side frame is PN 04815-20560 (L & R same)For now I put the old frame back on, ignoring the crack. At least it looks straight and will do for the moment. It's the brackets I need most.Found a similar side frame on ebay:http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Agilent-08660-20076-Frame-Side-/351070652395?hash=item51bd7107eb:g:5dIAAOxywFhTclJ4HP 08660-20076 Frame, SideBut it's slightly different. Might or might not fit.I powered the 4815A up last night, after fixing one visibly obvious board fault (leaked capacitor.) Of course it's far from working, but it's alive. Will start a new thread in Repair.Edit to add: Scratch the need for brackets. I found some longer ones, and can machine them down to size.

content: CLOSED:https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/(help-please)-data-check-1880-scanscope/I am in need of a used scope. I have never owned one before. My parents plan on getting me one for Christmas, as well as a soldering station. I figured the EEVBlog Forums would be the best place to start.I do not want something too old to be useful, but at the same time, I do not want something too new to be affordable. If there is a used budget digital scope that would be better than an analog one, I am all for it. We do not have a set budget at the moment, but under 100USD is probably where the maximum will end up. It does not need to be super fancy, but I do not want a "Steaming Pile of Dog Turd" from China, either. I have done various computer repairs, such as a motherboard and graphics card. I managed to repair both of them, but doing it with a scope would have taken me far less time. I am willing to do a bit of clean up/repair if it is something that can be done without the assistance of another scope or calibration equipment (such as a blown power supply regulator, missing knobs, etc)If you have found an ebay link that would meet my requirements, or have one you would like to sell, please contact me. Thanks.Merry Christmas everyone!

content: There are several threads going at the moment,addressing the same situation.In my opinion,the USB 'scopes & the like are things to avoid.For some strange reason,early DSOs on eBay are very expensive.These are usually lacking if you need to look at reasonably high frequency signals at long time/div settings.The classic case is looking at analog field rate video signals,where the sample rate reduction causes an unreadable display.They are OK,if used within their limitations--but as I said,they are being sold at silly prices.Analog Oscilloscopes will do most things you will need to do,& do them better than theoldDSOs.Don't get sucked into paying big money---you should be able to pick up a good analog for around $100.The better modern DSOs,even thereasonablyinexpensive ones, (Rigol DS1054z,etc) have all the useful points of the older ones,but few of their shortcomings.They come in at a long way over your budget,though.

And calibrated boards from secondhand equipment dealers for a few hundred.I will not set any value for an acceptable offer. Since I probably will pay some 20+ USD for trackable shipping, I won't reflect on going much down. If they sold (as in the links above for some 160-170 plus shipping in october), I guess the board will sell (sooner or) later. If not, I'll just keep it (even if I have decided that hunting PPM's has taken too much of my time already, so I regress to live with the accuracy I can get from the LM399s in my old HP/Agilent 34401A and 34970A).But that's me - there will always be a new volt-nut rookie born. And the board doesn't lose anything from being stored until the new owner comes along.

The casing is a bit worn but not broken. The optics are clean and it works perfectly.The 4x lens has scratches at the bottom glass but they're not visible on the image. The 8x lens is new.Halogen lamps are replaced with brighter LEDs and the fan is disconnected.Price is 600,- Euro including shipping in the EU (I'm in Germany).

I picked it up a few months back at an auction in a box of random test gear, but I've never really needed it so I'm passing it on. It comes with a set of very short crocodile test leads. The previous owner obviously didn't use it much either, because it's still snow white and looks like new. I've tested all functions and it all works as expected and is suprisingly accurate.Asking €28 + postage + paypal fees.

Amazing price for top quality 32x32 RGB LED arrays - Page 1

content: These are so awesome.Discovered this seller and ordered 1, then ordered 3 more, then 13 morehttp://www.aliexpress.com/item//32390612494.html(he has other sizes available with varying pixel density/shape)32x32 pixel RGB arrays for US$16I'm building a large 2x8 (256x64) led array.I think they are probably removed from an upgraded installation, but still. US$16 is dirt cheap for a professional quality RGB led array module.For the on board electronics they have a 1/8 row enable and a shift register which you clock in the RGB on/off states and latch. Then you move to the next row and so on. Only one row can be on at once.The module is divided into 4 serial segments, you clock 2 segments at once followed by the other 2 before it leaves the out-port for the next module.There's no color mix control on the module, you have to do that yourself. An ATMega@20mhz can easily drive 4 of them in series with basic mixing for 8 colors. There's just enough sram on a mega328p for 32x128 frame buffer and 256 byte line buffer.Faster mcu, like STM32F4, is needed for proper color mixing or a bigger array. Or a FPGA for doing 30fps full video display.

All original accessories and packing.Not sure there is anything else to say. I have this item listed locally as well, so it may suddenly be unavailable if I get another offerhere.I'll ship for a little as I can, as long as there is tracking and insurance on the box. I'll even try to double box for protection.
