  My Solartron 7150plus has just gone up in a puff of smoke - I was watching
the meter, then I looked away for a few seconds and it started hissing and
grey smoke started pouring out the back (around the mains connector).
  Does anyone have a copy of the service manual for this ...

  Can anyone suggest where I can obtain a copy of the user manual for a
very ancient Micronta 4001 metal detector that was sold in the UK many
years ago by Tandy stores?
 Yes, I know it's out of the Ark but at least it'll be useful for

Hi, I hope I'm not posting to the wrong group.
I have a pretty standard touchtone desk phone and want to install a small
LED light the would come on whenever anyone is on one of the other phones in
the house.

If someone has satellite or cable TV in 2 rooms, and has a wireless
remote in one of them anyway ( 1 box feeds 2 rooms that way ), and
they want to send the signal from that box into a third room
without having to hire someone to run cable in the crawl space,

Hi to all:
I have a full working complete WILTRON (now ANRITSU) model 640 RF
Network Analyser for 1-1500MHz measurements. Condition is very good and
fully working with the SWR autotester and a detector!

Can any body provide me the technical details (drawings) for repairing
faulty Oscilloscope (Hung Chang 5506 60MHz)
Regard

I'm looking for a low cost (live) line tracer (110v 20A). We used to
have one that, I think, was an  rf signal tracer. (A friend had one and
I used it briefly). I'm looking to trace wires in bx and emt in
apartment buildings.

for wireless microphones: is using 176.2MHz legal in the UK or is this
frequency already allocated elsewhere?
I tried googling around - I found some tables here and there about available
frequencies but I couldn't find any info on this particular frequency.

  On the subject site W7NI advertises a CD version of the 1975
Tektronix catalogue. Unfortunately he hasn't replied to an email
of mine, and as the last site update is March '04, I wonder if he
is still trading? Any pointers to similar CD would be much

Can anyone tell me how to set the TM501 line voltage to 220VAC?
