Any LabVIEW drivers for it? 🙂


We could throw it on the passenger seat of this truck. Does that qualify?

 

(LabVIEW IS the driver, right? 🐵

If you want to be kind to the old man scope, think about some capacitor forming before you give full power.

There are some good instructions in the web on how to power up old tube (radio) equipment after a long retirement.

Yes, please do this, the sound of an old capacitor blowing up is memorable, but not something you want in an old treasure!

<sea Story> 

as if you were not expecting oneSmiley Wink

 

The SPS-10 surface search radar has seen active duty since WWII.  Serial#1 was introduced to me at "ET"A school Great Lakes circa 1987,  it rolled of the line without a single transistor in it....They bright boys at AT&T had not yet invented the transistor.  Co-oincedentally Serial#2 was installed on my first ship (USS San Bernardino- LST 1189)

Frequent conversations went simillar to...

 

Some officer at Oh-dark-thirty in the A.M.: "The Radar is down"

Me: Coffee.....

Some officer at Oh-dark-thirty in the A.M.: Here's the Radar equipment room Petty Officer Bohrer.

Me"  OK, Turn off the overheads will you sir? (Room lighting is allways refered to as "The Overheads" aboard)

Some officer at Oh-dark-thirty in the A.M.:" Are you still asleep?

Me:  NO! Equipment is down and the tube without glowing filliments is the likely problem! Now please kill the lights so I can find the broken vacuum.

 

<It happened more than once>  Some day I might tell you all about the time I was brought to Captain's
Mast for telling some Jr. Officer "I have almost troubleshot the Automatic Frequency Control problem.  Its either the phantastron or the reflex klystron"

 

(The Reflex Klystron's probe needed to be extented to solve)  <They do wear>   The Jr. Officer thought I was being "Glib" and wrote me up for stating the technical truth.

I had to look up that phantastron 😄

The wikipedia link to ph3sampleman.pdf (?) is dead, but I found

That sentence instantly made me think of the turbo entabulator and I drew the same conclusion as the Jr. officer.
