A month ago both of our HP 8673D signal generators went tits up, so we sent them to Agilent for repairs only to have them rejected... Agilent says they stopped supporting the 8673D in August 2004. So now we're scrambling trying to find a substitute or replacement, since we're shut down in that area... What does the USAF use in place of the 8673D? Anybody else notice dwindling support from Agilent on the older HP equipment? We're gonna be in a world of hurt if they stop supporting the 8902A!  :cry:
Scott,
I wanted to let let you know that we have repairing 8673 series generators for many of the government agencies and private sector companies. If you ever need any repair services just drop us a line or visit our website www.oplinksolutions.com. Also if possible try not to mix and match assemblies to make a good unit. This method might be a quick fix now but mightly prove costly when trying to repair later. I think you might be pleased with what our company can do you and the rest of the Forum. Have a great Day!

Thanks... Actually we did repair one outright without swapping subassemblies, the other one is waiting on parts. And we have two more on order through govliquidation.com.

Recently we ordered a spare Fluke 5220A transconductance amplifier through Testmart.com, but they got it from Teknet electronics, who must have originally got it from your company, because it has Oplink cal void and warranty stickers on it. (Maybe next time we'll contact you directly and cut out two layers of middlemen!) The unit was in great shape, and I verified the calibration, and all was in tolerance. I'll keep you in mind whenever we get the other 8673Ds in...

I bet I know some of the techs at Oplink. I used to work up that way for GE & then ElectroRent Corp.  in Duluth.
