Ordered some parts for repair jobs:
- electrolytic caps for recapping the PS of my three HP 3456A
(Recapped one if them already with caps that I had on stock but ordered three complete sets of higher quality for all three.)
- Strain relief and good quality power cord for my new old 6824A PS/Amplifier
- Binding posts for two HP 6114As, the HP 6824A and a HP 6827A:
I've noticed that older HP binding posts happen to have either one of two deficits:
1. the depth is too short for modern plugs from mc, Stäubli or Hirschmann.

2. the inner diameter isn't max. 4.0mm but is nearly 4.2mm, so modern plugs just don't hold in there. They fall out literally.

This will ruin the originality of those instruments but I want to use them, not to look at them.

Grabbed some operational amplifiers, 555 timers and optocouplers from pollin cheaply - cheaply? I started filling my inline shopping basket with some strain reliefs and power cords for ~15€ end finally came out with ~100€.

Main Problem that all of us know: When will the parts be delivered? Will they be delivered before Easter?
