Re: Ludlum model 3 issues
Did you find something that made it start working? Does it go beyond 750 V?

Re: Ludlum model 3 issues
Sarmad, I spent a bit of time today trying to understand the Model 3 circuits. It seems that the Mod 3 manual on the Ludlum page I linked earlier has schematics and board layouts that don't match yours. I assume the doc is for a newer version. One significant difference is the shape of the board tha...

Re: Help with HV adjustable power supplies for radiation detectors.
John,
Any chance you could find and share a link (Mouser or etc.) to the kind of supply you are talking about?
Or details of the manufacturer/model.

Re: Ludlum model 3 issues
Richard, not sure your easy answer is correct. I've never had a Ludlum Model 3 so have zero direct knowledge but here's a version of that pic that I modified. Lud3 pic.jpg So I added two outlines of possible connections on the board, one is orange, one is green. You propose an inline set of connecti...

Re: Edwards TAG controller
I'm not an expert but I did a little looking at documents and your original post doesn't make sense to me. The EXDC doesn't seem to be a turbo pump but rather a control module that attaches directly to one of several ETX... turbo pumps. If you have an EXDC mounted on the side of an ETX turbo, it loo...

Re: Solderless Grid Design with Shaft Coupler
Your work on this grid is really good, I congratulate you. I'm thinking, though, that you seem to have a small cylindrical chamber. Maybe a cylindrical grid like one of Doug Coulter's designs might be appropriate to also try. Here's one I made. grid example.jpg Needs a lathe to make, though. End pie...

Re: Finding The Trailhead
Richard,
Your post starts with PTFA and continues to use that (acronym?). In this thread I have not found a definition.
From context it seems to be some organization or group. For the record here, what exactly is PTFA?

Re: Reverse engineering a big old smoke detector
Ah, I'm with you now. It hadn't registered with me that you had an F5B and it was a different design.
The pics you shared are great, especially with the blue glow of where the alpha is.
Thanks for sharing that.

Re: Reverse engineering a big old smoke detector
A bit of follow-up. I connected with Geo and he hasn't actually had any direct experience with these old smoke detectors. So I guess what I got from him was second hand. On Prutchi's page that I shared a link to, he did have some reference in a link near the end of his page but that site is now gone...
