I also see other models, some older and not so old.  I had my eye ...

 I want to cause static or interference on a line that leads from
the wall to a callmaster IV made by Lucent. These are phones used in
call-centers...  The line has eight wires and I think it is the same as
a computer data line??  There is no other power source to the Lucent

I'm trying to get my hands on a manual for the Philips PM 5134

Hi to all you guys.
I recently bought, (on ebay), a BLACKSTAR JUPITER 500 Function Generator 0.1Hz
500kHz
but there was no manual with it.

I don't have any HP user or service manuals, but I suspect they are

Could someone please help me locate a voltmeter, low cost, that will
detect a voltage pulse less than 120ms in length and about 120mV (give
or take 30mV) amplitude?  All I really need it to do is flash an LED
when a pulse is detected.  I do not need to know the voltage, period,

I need to find a source to buy the Bus and coaxial (4 coaxial version)
interconnection cables for my HP 8567A Spextrum Analyzer. Any one know

(10-15 yrs?) discontinued. It used a paper strip to record events, and was
just a plug-in-the-wall and leave it alone device in a blue metal case (I
think...).
