I'm currently waiting for my HP 6114A power supply from the US.
Speaking of which, what's a good way to find other HP equipment of the era that have the same bar-style feet as the 6114A/6115A? That style of enclosure was used with equipment of different widths and, hence, would have different length feet.
My bargain-bin 6114A didn't come with feet.
Same problem here. My first 6114A came without feet. ![Sad :(](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/xsad.gif.pagespeed.ic.L3FGyzQrjB.png)
I saw some that were $25+shipping. For a similar cost, or slightly more, I'd rather get an entire parts unit of something less desirable, but having the same feet.
Oh, you found feet only?
Glad one! I haven't found sets of feet matching the 6114A/6115A yet.
Hence I looked for HP gear with enclosures of the type of the 6114A/6115A. Used old HP-catalogs for that. ![Wink ;)](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/xwink.gif.pagespeed.ic.cldandycH0.png)
But nothing really bargain-type-wise, since shipping over the pond makes that too expensive for me, over all. ![Sad :(](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/xsad.gif.pagespeed.ic.L3FGyzQrjB.png)
This is one of the many reasons I got into 3D Printing; I've already made up some sets of custom feet so I could rearrange my stereo equipment with hot, large-vented surround receiver on top of Blu-Ray player that's 120mm shallower and tidy up gaming gear with all its oddball profiles. The nicest part is that you can't even see the parts I made.
I intend to also make new back of bottom feet/cordwrap for the NASA 2465 when I recap it; they've dry-rotted like the ones from my 454.

Of course I'm not the first to have this idea;
Thingiverse has oodles of .stl files for Tektronix parts. And even if they don't have exactly what you need, with
over 4,000 different kinds of feet, there has to be SOMETHING in there close enough to start with that you can make it work.
Remember that many 3D printers can do MUCH finer detail work than what you see as examples; the default settings a lot of people use are pretty coarse, as they're optimized for a middle ground between speed and precision. Personally, I'd put up with a 3-hour print for something I'm going to handle all the time like a knob, for example. Or you can go the opposite route by printing quick then sanding and painting to make it shiny.
This is what I bought on EBay. Still in transit. Should be here tomorrow.
It looks very clean but has some physical damage. The "B" Trigger Level/Slope switch in the upper right is bent/broken. The DM44 has some damage. The case is missing the handle. All those issues I can fix in a jiffy with my parts mule. Hopefully the rest of it is more or less functional.
Awresome! Plus you can probably punt the "parts mule" down the road... IF you can make yourself let go of the misery it represents.

I was about to get all snarky too... but my 189 has finally been marked "shipped". No actual confirmation from the carrier that it's been received, but it appears they used USPS. Will probably arrive in a flat-rate Priority Mail carton which means I'll have paid $24 for $14 worth of shipping... but a $10 handling fee is not really unreasonable, especially if actual value insurance is part of that. meh.
Small project that's been in the que due to the recent 465 marathon. Re-cap of the Fluke 1900A Counter power supply.
(SNIP)
After. $15 USD for an axial 2500uf cap? I think not. Radial installed instead.
med6753, nice job, love the red glow of LEDs.
Truly and well-bodged!

Fuck those electrons; they can damn well go round a corner. Once the lid's back on WGAF?

Sherlock has his huge magnifying glass out and the others don't appear to have been touched, however the 2 in question, I'm not sure because I had remove them in order to test them but I can't say that I paid that much attention to the joints while desoldering them
That said C156 and 157 are 100% ceramics (47n @25v) as per BOM so I suspect that these 2 should also be the same. and C152 and 158 are dipped tants as per BOM
Hmmm... my money's on "undocumented feature" rather than foul play. That thing's of just the right age to have been made when tants were the "new hawtness"; capacity of an electrolytic in the size of a ceramic with super low (for the time) ESR. Then along came electrolysis altering the internal composition, and before you knew it there was "Ka-ZORCH!" and running & screaming...

Pretty good, looks like you'll have a job fitting it all in somewhere in your lab?
Well that's another problem. I don't think I have the space right now. I will probably temporarily improvise a new bench. So much cleanup and organisation to do in the workshop, i'm definitely due.
Oh, you poor bastard. My heart bleeds for you.

Yeah I remember that, here's the link to yesterdays wanton destruction, bastards, those cars were someones pride and joy.

EDIT.
I note that it took around 15 minutes for the first fire engine to arrive, seems that we are not alone in reducing the fire cover provided by governments, madness.
Or worse yet, as is usually the case with the economy/metro class of cars, they were somebody's very necessary means to work. And they were probably several thousand dollars upside-down on their loan, so insurance isn't going to cover but half of what it'll cost them to pay it off and replace.

Still... nobody died as a direct result. So still less harmful than any given day with our corrupt Congress in session.
