DAC Hybrid for Racal 1992 counter (part number 17-1035)

[David C. Partridge]

I'm trying to buy one of these from Racal, but it appears likely that they
may not have any.

Does anyone have a 1991 or 1992 counter that is not working for other
reasons and from which they would be willing to remove this hybrid to allow
me to repair my counter.

Obviously I'm prepared to pay a reasonable price and cover delivery charges.

Thanks

EADS Test and Services (new name for Racal Instruments) in the UK have the
DAC hybrid and the all the reed relays in stock.

Their web-site is: www.eads-ts.com

I ordered a new DAC and one of each type of reed relay to meet a Minimum
Order Value of GBP75 plus VAT.

Fitting the new DAC resolved all the problems. The counter now passes all
the SF tests and will now correctly auto-trigger etc..

So if you have a 1991 or 1992 that needs parts and you don't have a spares
unit it may be worth talking to them, as this may be cheaper than buying a
used one on eBay (for example).
