  • Another Hewlet Packard did I ever say i kind of love this brand..
    a super nice powersupply 0-6A 2.5A and 2 x 0-20V 0.5A trackable, with a bit funny variable tracking feature. self oscillations pulse on +20V output after load drop, only mine do this ? my unit ? or design error ?
    NEWS : See the follow up video for more information. Design error found and solved.

    I use auto generated subs, I go thru them my self, but i am far from perfect at finding all errors, so if you find errors worth fixing, please comment (or PM) with the TIME in the video you saw the error, i will be happy to fix it. This also apply to the Danish version.

    Thanks for your T&T videos! 2 things - serial very often is YYWW on HP starting in 1960 - 3642 would be 96 week 42 - I have 3 of this model, the plugs are notorious !! for having the screw-post-thread on the banana plugs crack, so this is likely why they were changed

      That or it was owned by some overzealous school where a safety idiot has determined that ALL banana jacks on every piece of equipment have to be the shrouded kind .... ask me how I know ;)

      @@Sine1040 I think that is very much true :-) how ever i kind of like the original more slim banana types more, but they are fragile like kim say

    Some older Ensoniq keyboards like the Mirage and ESQ-1 used asymmetric supplies for their analog side circuitry. Still something you can use a true dual-output supply with but that's at least one use case for testing.

    Hey man, just wanted to say I really appreciate how your filming has improved. Nice and stable now, no more motion sickness for me. Love the content. Thanks so much.

      thanks a lot, it is the same cam, but i try much harder to hold it steady, its anti shake keeps going off, due to too close,
      I also appriciate comments of any kind.

      I think especially in the opening part of the video you had it on a stand.
      I'm extra interested in this one as I want to roll my own (low voltage) supply.

    Lovely little power supply, very compact for a linear bench psu, though shame it doesn't have variable current limiting. Does the phase control pre-regulator use SCRs? Those designs can cause a lot of RF to be generated.

    Hi Thomas, I send you the Schematics at your Email, in case you dont have it along with some Service Bulletins that eventually address the Oscillating issue.
    Cheers, Konstantin

      what thanks a lot, I am happy to hear they figured out about this terrible design mistake, I like to see how far my solution is from theirs :-)
