Did a little creative editing. (Attachment Link) Is this a little more fitting?

A TE post for once. 3466A turned up. Doesn't appear to work properly! Looks like there's something up with the power supply. It has battery option which is as dead as a dodo and the power supply is sick. This is great. I fancied debugging something Edit: battery option removed and jumped. On mains I have discovered -2.6V rail at -1V and -7V rail at -2.6V. Further investigation taking place shortly.
Edit: OMG actually I found the problem. Some absolute melt has clearly replaced the (socketed!) AD536 but put the fucker in the wrong way round.

U300 True RMS converter is short Hp 1826-0421 which appears to be an AD536ADJ. Someone has one in the UK but I ain't paying £40 for it! Looks like this will be non True RMS!Edit: OMG actually I found the problem. Some absolute melt has clearly replaced the (socketed!) AD536 but put the fucker in the wrong way round. Fortunately the substrate diodes just conducted through the rails and the power supply limited. . I just turned it round the right way and the power supply is not limiting. Reassembling to see if it works now
If that's the case, then just leave it as it is and caption it "fill in the blank!"-Pat
Before repair ...After repair ...Works now.
Much better. Thanks!
Indeed. I would love to know exactly how that got like that. What was the person thinking? Were they thinking? Were they a person? Who knows? The whole world has gone insane

In addition....when the Type 114 shows up with it's scuffed and damaged case I'll be destroying that "patina" too. Perhaps you better dust off your credit card and save the TE from the likes of me. I love how serious you're taking this. It's preparation and practice for the real thing because you know some asshole is gonna object and try to call me out. See that rope? Go piss up it.

It works absolutely fine now. What a complete fucking muppet who did that. (SNIP) After repair Well that was the most "interesting" repair for a while
