OT(?) : HP1630D Logic Analyser

Maybe I should visit Brazil and buy a new CRT. :-) I use it for a number of reasons: I have it and it works; I am familiar with it and it works; it's the same vintage as the systems on which I use it; and *it works*. The tube still has some life to it, but before everyone throws away their "useless," podless 1630s, I figured I should fish for spares.... -- Ian ________________________________________ From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Alexandre Souza - Listas [pu1bzz.listas at gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2011 4:08 PM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Re: OT(?) : HP1630D Logic Analyser Do you still use it, Ian? It would be cheaper (and WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better to use, since is a newer instrument with more support and tools) to get a 16500A/B/C (C recommended). CRTs are incredibily expensive in USA. In Brazil they are so cheap... Since this is a monochrome tube, you can use mostly any monochrome tube that fits its place, incluiding B/W televisions and old computer monitors. Been there, done that.
