Dick smiths in Rockdale plaza might have something if you're lucky.If I wanted cables like that I would go into the city but in a pinch Harvey Norman at Moore Park might be the go and beyond that there's the Jaycar's on Botany road Alexandria and the one at Caringbah.But if you're in Rockdale it's 20 minutes on the train to the city and places like cx computers and adelong behind the Queen Victoria building have this sort of cabling.

Wanted: Metcal Handpiece 13.56 MHz, broken or good - Page 1
Forum section: electronics / general

author: mamalala
author_rank: Unknown
timestamp: October 24, 2013, 07:11:34 pm
content: Hi all,i am looking for a broken (or working, if cheap enough) Metcal handpeice for the 13.56MHz system. That is, something like the MX-RM3E or later models.The reason is to have something that can be torn apart to analyze it further, so that in the end a DIY approach to make handpieces can be found. For example, there is a capacitor in it, but no information available as to what it's value is. Also, the used cable is unknown as far as impedance is concerned. Would be great to have something that could be torn apart, like a unit with a broken cable, to figure out those things, and, by extension, to analyze what the actual parameters are as far as RF parameters are concerned (like, instead of using the same cable impedance and handpiece capacitance, some other combination my be found that results in similar/same performance for DIY purposes).Sine i already came up with a DIY RF supply for that system, figuring out how to make a handpiece is the next logical step. But naturally i don't want to tear apart my working handpiece, nor do i want to spend 100 bucks on a new/used one to tear it apart.So, if anyone has something to offer in that regard, that would be great. Either here in this thread or by sending me an eMail or PM.Greetings,Chris

Fair price for DS1102E with damaged trigger knob - Page 1
Forum section: electronics / general

author: tom66
author_rank: Super Contributor
timestamp: October 26, 2013, 07:23:40 pm
content: The trigger knob on my DS1102E (genuine, original 100MHz model, ~£325 GBP new) broke off during use (cracked plastic shaft, possibly previous defect from shipping)... and Rigol won't cover it in warranty. It has 2 yrs left but any repair I do myself will void warranty/calibration.Otherwise, the scope works fine. If you are determined you can set trigger level using a screwdriver to turn the internal control. You WILL need to replace the rotary encoder inside the unit. (Not a simple matter of replacing just the knob unfortunately...) Encoder is available for less than £3 from Farnell.Open for offers on it as I was going to upgrade anyway. Will ship for £20.00 GBP within UK by 48hr courier or collection from my Leeds address. I'm not willing to send it overseas.I can include the two probes as accessories and the software CD.

My friend and I are both USF (Tampa, FL) EE students who are working on starting an engineering company. We have a few product prototypes thrown together (if you want to see themwww.sharkboxpower.com). These protos work in super small volume but getting to anything over 100 units we need entirely custom PCBs. We are really looking for someone who has been through the product development rat race to help us with some of the pitfalls. The system is a pretty simple bluetooth audio amplifier (TI chip amp-class D) and we have already gone though most of the component selection. The designs will be openly released to the public once we get going. If your interested in some contract work you can PM me your portfolio we have a few silent investors willing to help us pay for services. We would want everything done in Eagle as it is what we use in house. We know just enough to be dangerous. Help!

content: The UCC bit on the front is just a specific manufacturers code. When searching for a device, usually try dropping any front or trailing letters and see what results you get. In this case you'd find it's a jelly bean current mode SMPS controller. You wont need a specific brand name device.

content: Repaired. I was a little perplexed, because I've found a shorted 100V,5W zener, and the output was not the nominal +/- 17 V, but something like +/- 3V. Replacing the diode the output rose to +/- 36V, so I replaced the IC and some caps. It worked correctly, so I connected it to the main mixer PCB, and discovered that most of the op-amps were fried: all the TL074 (7 pieces), all the NE5532 (2 pieces). The strange thing is that all the TL072 were in good shape...After desoldering and replacing all the op-amps the mixer works again.The owner of the desk (a friend owner of an audio rental company) had carried it to my shop saying that it needed only a fuse-holder replacement (in effect the fuse holder was broken...) after it returned from a loan.Best regard and thanks to everyone

timestamp: October 08, 2013, 04:13:48 am
content: Few function generators under a few k$ will do square waves up to 50 MHz. In general you would be looking at dedicated pulse generators for this. For high-frequency sinewaves you'd use an RF signal or sweep generator. A function generator is kind of a jack of all trades, master of none. HP made some hybrid pulse/function generators (eg. 8111) that might come close to meeting that spec.
