We are finding that the main problem with Marconi equipment dating from the 1950s is failure of the non-electrolytic capacitors, most of which were made by TCC. Continue reading “TCC capacitors”
Sync Pulse Generator mounting
The split-unit mobile SPG (Sync Pulse Generator) that we have is unfortunately missing both its mounting frames with the anti-vibration inserts.
Miscellaneous
There are always a number of “smaller things” that need to be done to move the project forward.
Fourth Picture and Waveform Monitor
We were intending that the left-most position of the four “forward” engineering positions – the one for the “Vision Engineer” should be equipped with a BD819A precision monitor and a separate waveform monitor.
Vision Mixer
Obtaining the correct vision mixer has been a long-term endeavour, but finally one has been found. The unit seen in previous pictures was of a similar design but not the correct one.
Precision monitor for Engineering
We need some way of being able to view the pictures from the engineering area, so we decided to move the precision monitor from its original position next to the three camera control units to a separate installation next to the work desk – the space will be filled with another picture and waveform monitor later.
