Ref.: A recent thread asking for help about an HP 8640B sig. gen.

Just a quick "thank you" to the various members who helped me to clear the fog out of my mind when faced with what - at first - looked like a repair headache to clear. A repair was not necessary! :-]

Thanks to chriswood1900 for the Laskys Dolby B noise reducer. An interesting project!

Thanks to Dave (dazzlevision) for kindly selling me an original 1957 service manual and for his superb packaging.

Re: The Thanks Thread
 

My sincere thanks to everyone who helped me to unscramble a very strange and recent fault here about g-mail failure. Despite many years of experience with I.T. maintenance, that was probably the most bizarre and frustrating scenario that I can recall having to deal with. :devil: But it had a happy ending. :)

And a merry Christmas to you all! ;)

Re: The Thanks Thread
 

I very much appreciate the extensive assistance I received here in trying to fathom out why a Thomson TG585 v.7 4-port router would not work with my newly installed broadband fibre connection. In particular, a big 'Thank you' to Paul Sherwin who also outlined the differences in the hardware and comms. software between ADSL and VDSL.
Without recourse to this Forum I strongly suspect that I would never have discovered why and would, eventually and reluctantly, have given up and remained in perpetual ignorance. >((

Thank you, everyone.

Al.
