The Repair and Tinkering Place at WB5TKA
[ Home ] [ Ham Radio Is ] [ Interests ] [ Links ]

 

When time and motivation allow, some tinkering is done here in addition to needed equipment repairs. Included in the lineup are: HP 8640B signal generator (center top shelf); Elenco function/audio generator; Elenco 10 Hz to 1.3 GHz frequency counter; Tektronix 465 dual trace oscilloscope (upper right). To the left of the Yaesu FT-902DM transceiver, a variac and a Fluke 8062A multimeter. Just to the right of the transceiver is a L/C Meter IIB inductance/capacitance meter by Almost All Digital Electronics Corp. Also present but not visible is a Mercury Model 2000 dynamic mutual conductance tube tester. With some tube equipment here, that piece of test gear gets used a lot.

The recently acquired HP signal generator replaces an old - very old! - Knightkit signal generator seen at the upper left. Talk about a difference!

Anyone recognize the object hanging next to the clock? A classic. A Seagate ST-238R 32 MB hard drive which once was part of a computer here.
