Workshop Project #31 - HP1607A Logic Analyzer
This time on the bench: a very early logic analyzer. The HP 1600A model that I restored about a year ago (link below!) has a companion model: the 1607A. During the 1600's restoration, I learned that these can be combined to form a 32bit wide unit, so I just got to have one. Normally, I'd be happy with the 1600, since it doesn't need any external device for display, but the idea to combine two 16bit units for special jobs was too interesting to me.
I managed to get myself one - and also the pods for it! - on e-bay. It arrived shortly before the 1600 was done, but now I finally got around to pick up the project!
