I actually found one "AS-IS" for more than I wanted to pay, but less than most out there. Risks are fun! The deal is, it's lacking the power supply and some of the probe accessories. Looks like it needs a simple 9v 500mA wall wart, but no idea what the plug size is. I guess we'll see. If it works out, I'd be willing to rent it out. I'm wondering if I could just plug this into my distortion analyzer directly? I need to do some more research. If so, that's very sweet.

too bad you need actives, I have a great DIY two way that needs a home

My money is on horse #2. Fun times though .

Woah. Yeah, the plexi stuff, isn't that some sorta of safety standard? I remember reading about that somewhere, definitely before my time... If I had to choose, I'd rather use an isolation transformer than ground lift the scope, but again best not to propagate safety risks. But what I really want is a P5200 or someone to nick a circuit so I can DIY one The other option is of course matched HV probes. Tek used to (still does?) sell probes this way. Then you do the invert and sum trick across the two channels. Not as cool as the above though, and cannot really be used on PSUs where you want a floating measurement. Seriously though, ask Andy. He satisfied himself and whomever was working with him, so thats worth something I'd suspect.

Love the Markl modded A2s that I have. Haters gotta hate.

I think this is all pretty subjective. For example, you could ask Andy what he did, as he was the most recent person that would have comparable experience and equipment to what you might have. I really want a differential high voltage probe, namely a Tektronix P5200. That being siad, it's not like I've never floated the earth connection of my scope, I'm just not going to sit down and explain how to do something unsafe here...

I could be wrong, but I think Craig actually ended up removing capacitors, not adding them, when it was all said and done.

Reduced the port wine sauce too much (to an uneatable state), but the trout and mushrooms were good...

I've been looking for a dry pisco receipe and found a combo I like. 2 oz pisco 1/2 oz lime juice 1/2 oz R&W Apricot

This.

I'm considering selling a Tek TDS1012, contingent on another purchase. It's minty and has all the original documentation, accessories and box, etc. all of which are in excellent condition. I purchased it at Fry's. Includes two Tek probes as well. I was thinking $500 shipped. Thanks!

Cool! I'd look at both the power rails and the outputs at full power. I've found that you need a decent bandwidth scope to do this though. Post the traces once you get around to it

Fernet and Moxie 3 oz Moxie 2 oz Fernet Branca

Ace of Clubs (Esquire) 2 oz aged rum (the drink scales well, use something good) 0.5 oz Creme de cacao (white) 0.5 oz lime juice 0.5 oz simple sugar Shake the double strain! Garnish with aromatic bitters drizzles on top.

Aviation!

It's hard to infer AC ratings from DC ratings and vice-versa though, at least that is what I've found. Regardless, unmarked wire is a dice roll in my book.

well, they follow the silk on the PCB at least

You do realize that we're talking, what 1.7kV Vpp here?

Yup, nice performing chip. They even have four legged ones that look cool as well.

I'd recommend finding something labeled by Alpha or Belden. I don't trust wire unless it has a printed rating on the sleeve. Also, you can add heat shrink or teflon to the wire if you want to be extra certain.

Also, you could try swapping the two windings to see what happens...

Ah, my memory is fading I'd probably put it under a load and see what the voltage does. Also, check the voltage right after the first cap, check to make sure the ripple voltage isn't insane. Check the same after the regulator. Compare to the other rail.

I believe the On parts were recommended at some point in the thread, as the ones in the BOM that Kevin posted were not good. Check Inu's posts.

The Boulevardier 1.5 oz bourbon 1 oz Campari 1 oz Carpano Antica Not enough Antica in this thread. Good drink, but I'm ready to step up from the Russell's...

What part did you use on the positive rail? You might put it under load a bit to see what happens. Say, 50mA or so.
