With the current economic times I see that repairs will be a larger portion of peoples interest and that how quickly we can fix older 8 or 16 bit equipment (think industrial controls) can help all of us cruise through the next couple of years...
I'm in that mode - attempting to resurrect an old HP 5420 Digital Signal Analyzer (aka spectrum analyzer, albeit low frequency) to save a couple of thou on the purchase of a used equivalent. I'm trying to find Vol IV of the documentation set that has the schematics for the beast as well an image of the control tape - the unit boots from an internal tape. The cassette bands have gone south, the cassette capstans have turned to goo, and it looks like the tapes themselves are failing. Any help or referrals will be welcomed.
