Test equipment blues

[today’s run: none]

I’ve got the test equipment blues.

I was working on rewinding a coil for the HBR receiver project.  I built a test setup to test the coil, it goes in the Beat Frequency Oscillator (BFO) section of the receiver.

I fired up the test thing and I turned on my oscilloscope to try to look at the waveform.  Uh oh.  The O-scope wouldn’t come on.  darn.

So I ordered some power supply capacitors, two orders because I messed up the first one.  And I’ve replaced almost all of the capacitors in the power supply.

But it still doesn’t work.

I actually had other things I wanted to work on.  But I think they are going to have to wait so I can get this ‘scope fixed.
