Fluke 9000A mystery adapter (for me at least ;-)
by John Robertson 20 Feb '18

20 Feb '18

I have a pod module here called "Z8 I/F ADAPTER" Fluke #9000-200/AB. It has no cable to the base, just a 40 pin CPU cable. Inside is a couple of RAM chips, and some Fluke hybrid interface ICs. Any guesses? John :-#)#

Does anyone happen to know if these are available online somewhere? I have them and I'm just wondering if I should scan them in. The two I have are: 1) 90 Series uP Board Tester - User's Manual 2) Quicktools for the IBM PC - User's Manual Matt _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist

Dataman 48Pro+ Universal ISP Programmer

I saved enough money in my Videogame piggy bank to buy one of these a few months ago. Mainly because I was tired of using the big and bulky Data I/O 29b and always coming short of an occasional adapter that I needed. I just wanted something that fits in my desk that I can check IC's with and burn any eprom I needed. I have to say, their support team is a big plus. I asked them to add the 82S114/82S115 proms to their list - which are pretty uncommon. I just needed to send them a couple samples and some datasheets and they did it. I was able to test and burn some Atari Drag Race proms this morning. I also asked them to add 2101A/9101A rams so that I could go through and test my stash. It will also test 2114's but sometimes there are some brands that fail such as the Toshiba TMM314's - so I asked them to add those and they did. You certainly get what you pay for. :) The only bummer is you do need an expensive ($200) adapter for 2708's or TMS2716 eproms - so I keep my Data I/O at bay for those.

100uF 20V Wet Tantalum Substitute?
by Bill Karkula 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

I acquired an HP1740A scope and all is well except this one capacitor described as 100uF 20V +/- 10% wet tantalum which has leaked and the electrolyte crystallized located on the timebase board. Do I need to replace it exactly or is there a newer type of capacitor that can be used as a substitute with better than or equal to characteristics of a wet tantalum? I looked around and the wet tantalums are very pricey. I know capacitor technology has come a long way and maybe someone can help save me the research. Thank You, Bill _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/

Repairing Fluke 9010a Tape Decks
by Matthew Rossiter 23 Apr '09

23 Apr '09

Has anyone ever seriously gone through and tried repairing these? There seems to be two main problems. 1) The Playwheel gets dented as a result of being pressed next to the capstan for years. Thanks to Art Mallet, I was able to get one replacement playwheel. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to replace the rubber ring since replacement playwheels are no longer available. I might try some O-rings from here http://www.mcmaster.com/#as568a-o-rings/=1koq0o unless someone knows a tape cassette specialist that carries something similar to the Fluke 9010a Tape deck. Question: Has anyone ever tried a workaround for the bad playwheel problem? 2) The second problem seems to be the LED / Phototransistor sensor pair that signals the end of tape (Clear Leader). In both tape decks I have, I've had to replace the 2n3906 transistor at Q5 that turns the Clear Leader signal on and off. I've replaced the phototransistor and the IR LED, but it still isn't signalling the end of tape properly. Question: Has anyone ever replaced the LED and Phototransistor and gotten it to work? I know they need to be matched. What part numbers did you get? I have a bunch of video game related tapes I want to record to a file and share. Thanks! Matt PS. Here is a condensed version of the Fluke 9010a Service manual that deals primarily with the Tape Deck. http://games.rossiters.com/manuals/fluke/Fluke-9010a-Tape-Deck.pdf _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist(a)flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/TestEquipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/
