There?s an amazing amount of rumour and innuendo that goes on about the ETO amplifier for GE medical systems, the legendary 8877 problems, and ETO?s loss of the contract. It?s now been almost 10 year
Thanks for helping dispel the false rumors about ETO and 8877's. The most unfortunate thing in all of this is the amateur radio fraternity has been receiving (and some people actually believe) incor

Dave: Thank you for sharing some meaningful data to help counteract some of the local QRM. It also helps to support the notion that much of the data that is being passed off as fact in these parts, b
I started to have this problem in 10th grade and the problem isn't going away. ** Interesting, Dave. I apparently assumed wrongly. My take on the issue is that GE knew more about the 8877 failure pr
It might be a good idea to hold off a bit on lighting up the victory cigar, Tom. ETO's loss of the GE Medical contract apparently had nothing to do with the timing of Eimac's 14-month 8877-heat dam

Items 1-4 in the top five list are obviously well-know, no further notes req'd. Where did #5 come from? I must have missed it in all the excitement. Please re-iterate. (Were metric ohms used for both
The problem is rooted in false claims, poor technical advice, poor circuit behavior descriptions, and general misinformation. Unless the correct information gets out, the problem will continue. We s
I have no idea what GE said to Dick E. The Eimac Letter: == "VARIAN ElMAC, 301 Industrial Way San Carlos California 94070 1 U.S.A. / Tel. (415) 592-1221 TWX 910 376-4893 February 18, 1986 Mr. Richar
I agree with you Dale. Let's move on to something more interesting. Bert A. This reminds me of a bloody barroom brawl. It's getting kind of ugly sorry to say and I'm not learning anything useful abou

What you always conveniently leave out is that in YOUR initial report to Eimac you said you "thought the tubes oscillated, and that overheated the grids". The response to YOUR claim you suspected th
No cramping here, I don't think Bert has any either. No, i have a better idea, why don't you filter the rest of us out. Fight on. Dale J. To: <amps@contesting.com>
** No. I said that I suspected that the 8875s had sustained a parasitic oscillation because both parasitic suppressor resistors had changed from 100-ohms to c. 400-ohms so quickly that no external c
I agree with you Gary. The floor is yours. 73 Bert Easiest way to "move on to something more interesting" is to post something more interesting! 73 Gary K4FMX ________________________________________
