hi Al,
It was put in the post box on Bank Holiday Monday, the next collection was due at 17:30hrs on Tues.
It was sent 1st class. it should have arrived Wednesday.??
The address label was cut/pasted and printed from your email to me, so no mess up in the addressing.
My initials and Post Code marked on the back of the Jiffy bag, chips in black a/s foam with a plastic wrap around.
Is there anyway you can chase it from your end.??
I have 2 of the original 4 left on the shelf, if push comes to shove.
EDIT:
Spoke to the postal service, there is no way to check the whereabouts of the letter.
They suggest that we give it a few more days.
Sorry if you thought I was questioning your posting.
I never thought for a minute that you hadn't done as you said, it's probably our post at this end where the problem lies.
Some days we get no post at all, other days we get lots, sometimes its even addressed to us! hehehe
Seriously we have swap meets on the street to give each other our post. We have complained many times to the GPO (now they call it Post Office Counters) must sound more 21st century or something eh? Pity the service isn't!
Anyway mate I will ask all the usual neigbours again in the morning, see if anyone has a package that they think is bomb parts!
Thanks mate, I really appreciate everything you've done for me and wish you would want something from me for a change.
Is there anything you need or have ever thought of getting that I could send you? I just feel that I need to repay you for all the things you have sent me.
There must be some parts or something you need? If not then do you have a Paypal account I could send some money to perhaps? Or a favourite charity that you donate to, could send them something maybe?
BTW Saturday post came and went, and the neighbours didn't get my mail either so I am assuming the post has done its usual trick with my ICs, they will be in Botsana or maybe the Upper Amazonian jungle by now!

The postman did his usual again too this morning, besides not getting a signiature for yours, he also misplaced another one of mine and a neighbour just delivered it! Its the dual FET!
So Keep your fingers crossed mate!
BTW do you recommend I fit the 592s before the fet or vice versa or at the same time?

I would try the NE592 first in the trace amp you think is working OK.
It is possible that only one Y amp FET/NE592 is blown, you may get lucky with the other Y amp....
At the point you get both NE592'a in situ, I would check the NE592's input and output pin voltages, lets know.
Be sure to centre the external Y1 and Y2 shift pots, you may later on have to tweak the internal shift pots.
I think you should make formal complaint to the PO about your postie.
hi,
Good news.
Use a scope probe plugged in Y1 input and poke the prod into the 'probe test hole' near the right handside TIME knob
See that you can switch the Y1 VOLTS/CM gain up/down,,,, do the same for Y2.
Yes Eric, I can adjust both traces! I have noticed however that though I can adjust them to go well below the bottom of the screen, I can't get them to reach the top so maybe this means a pot or two need adjusting or is this normal for the traces?

hi,
If you look at the Y1/2 circuit I posted in red/blue you will see an internal Y shift, one for each channel.
Turn the external Y shift to its centre of rotation and then adjust the internal Y1/2 shifts to put the traces in the centre.
As another Y1 Y1 test, turn the VOLT/CM to 5mV put your finger on the probe lead point, dont touch 0V, so you should show a 50HZ sine wave on both traces. The reason for not touchung 0V is that you get a good mains pick up
....no shocks involved...
ericgibbs;
Did you do the probe hole test.?????[/QUOTE said:
Hi Eric,
Yes I did he probe test, whichever probe I use will deflect around 3v higher when touched to the test hole, but not a square wave, just a straight trace.
I'm guessing mine doesn't have a Square wave output, I will have to read through the service manual again to check.
