[Hallicrafters] Inductance measurements - new topic?

[David C. Hallam]

Sometimes you just want to say "enough is enough"  First I had to repair my
old Solar capacitor checker when a tube shorted and smoked the voltage
control pot.  I found out there was no line fuse in it.  I suppose back when
this thing was made nothing ever shorted.  When I replaced the pot I put in
a line fuse.

Then my HP 410B VTVM decide to start acting funny and I found that the
filter capacitor had given up.  Now the trace on my scope wants to jump
around and go crazy when I put my hand near it.

It's getting bad when you have to spend more time repairing the test
equipment than you do using it.

Hi guys,
    Maybe that's how we're supposed to exercise, at least build muscles.
I wish they'd at least wait a little longer than when I just get them
re-installed in the cabinet before they decide to burn a pilot lamp, etc.
    I do know that they are very jealous, if you use one for too long a
time, the others that don't get used are jealous and decide to get even by
requiring you to work on them b4 you can use them.  Same kinda thing.
