Grrrrrrrr..  My HP16500C has a defective PS and my 4274A RLC bridge

had a major explosion inside. OMG, WHAT A MESS! All that black magic smoke!

I re-caped the bridge, it took me a day on the DIgikey site to find 
replacements.

I had to use substantially larger voltages to make them fit mechanically.

But that is a good thing.

cheers, Gerhard
