I have been trying to repair an old Telequipment D32 oscilloscope and came across this video [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOeEbyIllcM[/url].

Can somebody identify what the type of capacitor is shown at around 13:31 of the video? What would be a good replacement, if needed? Mostly out of curiosity, actually. thanx.https://I have been trying to repair...eo? What would

Re: IBM L200p - 6736-HC9 - powering off and on

OK, coming back to this. Thanks for the reply. I had a hard time getting voltages during failure. The thing just would not fail. Eventually it started acting up again and I managed to get the following voltages on the power connector to the logic board. I give first the label on the board then the voltage during normal operation and then during failure.

12/18v, 18, 10
12/18v, 18, 10

Re: IBM Thinkvision 6736-HC9 No power

Has everyone given up on this? I have a similar condition, difference being that I loose power after working ok for several seconds to for ever.

well, seems, sadly, I am getting old.

Re: Multimeter cables suggest

Getting a point sharp probe, either buying one or grinding one may not be much trouble. What am interested in is how do you prevent your probes from wandering on the wrong pin or track or even worse shorting one on those hair style smd pins? Or do you all have surgeon precision handling?

Ok here is my first attempt to repair, or rather save from the recycle bin, a good monitor. Please do not shoot. I have a degree in electronics/computer interfacing but actually never used that knowledge (30 yeard old now) having gone into systems administration. Out of necessity not choice. SO I can understand muh of the theory but have very limited practical tech abilities.

This particular monitor, IBM L200p 6736-HC9, has been in service for around 8 years but is in good condition except that after powering on and working properly it suddenly looses power, front led goes off....

Re: What are these tapes?

On my first assighnment I operated a Digital PDP-11 that used such a tape drive and a sort of removable hard disk, kind of hybrid floppy drive, more than a foot in diameter and about 10mb if memory is still good. I still remember the noise from the motors and heat fans made when those suckers started. A small plane by todays standards ... Those were the days. 1986 these were still in operation.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

In trying to save an IBM L200p (6736-HC9) monitor from being dumped in the recycle bucket I came upon this thread: [url]https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=35158&highlight=6736-HC9[/url]. The rest is already history. I was amazed at the wealth og info.

Having done my BSc in electronics and computer interfacing I do have the theoritical background and some practical training. But that was almost 30 years ago. Life has taken me into other paths: Computer Systems Administration.
