Hi
I just got my 2090 Nicolet scope working. I'd picked it
up for $30. It had a shorted tantalum that
took out the regulator, power transistor and
current limit resistor. I suspect the current limit
resistor over heated and increased in resistance.
This may have wiped out the regulator that
wiped out the power transistor.
Or, some such combination. I'd never used
one of these DSO's but had to fiddle some time to
figure it out. I've got most of it figured out.
Understanding the execute button was a
revilation.
It does funny things if you open the disk door
and don't have a disk in it but that is kind of
expected.
It uses a pile of 2111's for storage. I'd expected
to see problems there but so far, it looks OK.
I don't see any missing or additional data on
the screen.
Even though it is not a 100Mhz scope, it should
work fine with my analog computer.
It has the full dual differencial front end ( 206
not the 204 ). It is more than I need but cool
to have the diffencial inputs.
If anyone has an operators manual of a mantainance
manual, I'd love to get a copy. There is someone
on eBay selling a mantainance manual for $150
( ArrrrrH! ).
Dwight
