Hi all,

a good friend of mine in IT9 (Sicily) has a very nice General Microwave
Bolometer model 476. By mistake he applied too much power and ...
voila' ... the "476 head" failed.
He has now at least 8dB error. He would like to repair replacing the
TFT element that now has 180 value versus the expected 150 ohm.

The Head is model 42040A ok for up to 20GHz.

Thanks for your help
