The computer previously advertised here is now in the shop, being
checked out. It has a DC input problem (which was previously
mentioned, also!) that I'm attempting to track down. Results
(hopefully) by Monday.
I'm hoping that it is a function of the charging circuit. I believe
what is happening is that the batteries are so old, they are drawing
tremendous current on power up, and this is shutting the whole unit
down. At least that's my hope, because that's easy to remedy (I've
already had an offer for a new NiMH battery on the list -- thanks,
I'll be in touch privately next week).
I'm still looking to sell for around $500, or trade for equal value
(either HF QRP or QRO equipment, or a nice dual-trace 40MHz or so
scope).
In any event, I had some nibbles on the frequency counter and the
VTVM, but no takers, so I've decided to keep them. The meter
housing cover (clear plastic) is broken on the side, and I'd like to
get it replaced. Any ideas on sources? The meter itself was
manufactured by Dixon, somewhere in Colorado.
Here endeth the update ...
