HP 5326B missing HP badge
I recently picked up a HP 5326B Counter/DVM/Timer. Working condition but a bit of a sorry state, I'm slowly cleaning it up and making it presentable.
One of the things that was missing is the HP badge, apparently these things quite often fall of and go missing so it's not unusual. I was able to salvage one from another scrap HP instrument I've got, but I'm not sure it's the right one for this unit. Pictures attached I've got a feeling the correct badge for this model is much thinner. |

Yes, that's the correct badge.

Thanks Peter, I was looking at a HP 3335A which is of a similar vintage. And that has an almost flat HP badge stuck in the same position as the 5326B

That the right one, I've had them fall off when they arrive and had to search the box for the logo.
Be careful if cleaning, to avoid the lettering dissolving off that plastic panel too. David |

Re: HP 5326B missing HP badge
You've just reminded me that in the attic I've got an HP (Kobe, Japan division) capacitance meter combined with bias supply... an actual purpose-made varactor tester. Was working before someone stored it in an outside shed for a year.
femtofarad resolution and bias to several tens of volts. Can also measure bigerCs and reform electrolytics! David

The only Yokogawa made capacitor meter I have is the 4350A, it's all analog, lowest range is 1uF, also has a bias supply, which a previous user fried with the external bias connection.
