Simpson 260 series 8

[[email protected]]

I have a Simpson 260 series 8 meter with two burned resistors. Simpson
will not provide a schematic for these anymore citing some BS safety
requirement. I would have to send it to them for repair. Of course I
would! Does anyone have this model who could please look at the
section of the board I would identify in question and tell me what
resistors are in those positions? I would sincerely appreciate any
help with this. Thanks, Lenny

I've been there but there's no schematics for the series 8 though.

I'm not familiar with these meters but there is the schematic for
Simpson 260 Series 8 - VOM 260-8xi 1969 Edition

Is that not the same?

There are quite a few Simpson manuals here:
ftp://bama.sbc.edu/downloads/simpson/

Unfortunately the following is only a user manual:
ftp://bama.sbc.edu/downloads/simpson/260-8/

FWIW, I notice that the 260 Series 5 has resistor strings that are
similar to those in the 260-8xi.

If you could tell us the values of other resistors in the same string,
then perhaps we could work out the values of the burnt ones.

I've written to Simpson and included a diagram of the board which
shows the burnt resistors. We'll see if they respond favorably. I'll
let you know. Thanks, Lenny.
