[R-390] R 390a Front Panel WANTED DEAD NOT ALIVE

Wed Dec 28 21:28:38 EST 2011

Hi Group,

I need an 390A front panel that is DEAD NOT ALIVE.. I need one for some experimentation
that I am doing with a combination of powder coating and  letter painting. All of my panels are restorable and I don't want to test with them.

I need a panel with the letter engraves, not a silk screen version.  Please nothing that has the least chance of being restored.
Bullet holes, bent, warped, heavily moded, corners crushed, any panel that has at least part of the lettering on a flat surface.

Other panels similar to a 390 will be OK too.

I will pay postage and a small finders fee.

Let me know what you have.

73,
Glenn WA4AOS

I have seen instances of disk cap failures during mass production where
maybe the lead spacing was not ideal and the parts placing machine kind of
cracked the dipped part right where the lead goes into the capacitor body.
Some work fine while the board is on a test jig but fail after the solvent
bath or fail after system burn-in (our burn-in period was 10 days while the
device was in full operation). Maybe 1 in 20 telemetry packs would fail
after burn-in and get sent over to my department for one of my techs to
identify the specific component. Then I would try to look for trends and
root causes. The stack of paperwork on my desk would be from our repair
department where the techs would report on what components were bad on what
types of units.

I did catch some things that were bad... like that the plastic wrapped
tantalum capacitors that were part of the D/A converter circuit did not
like solvents so those had to be hand soldered after board cleaning.

The universe is moving to entropy where eventually everything will fail,
atoms will drift apart and the universe will be a cold, dark place. (only
happy thoughts for Christmas season <lol>).

I have yet to find any sort of never fail component. Some things may have
MTBF's of tens of thousands of hours.

I guess Ray's computer was highjacked. His last posting on the R-390 
list was in March 2011.

Oh, but the Higgs Bozon will save us all!

Or, finding them will.  Trouble is, thy are oh so, tiny - and elusive.

The Large Hadron Collider is the savior of civilization!

Send money. Send good wishes! Send Coherence!

Peace,
