"The stabistor was the crucial invention which first
made possible the stabbing of others over the internet..."
This morning I was watching a fellow repair a vintage Hewlett-Packard instrument and the word "stabistor" came up. Now, I got into electronics in the 1970s, I'm retired now, and I've never heard of a stabistor.
A quick search turned up this Stack Exchange post from someone else who had never heard of one:
https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/636786/what-is-exactly-a-stabistor-how-does-it-work-and-how-is-it-constructed
What is a stabistor?
And that's pretty much it, in case you ever find yourself troubleshooting an HP 6826A, which by the way, is a fascinating instrument. For more on that, here's the video I was watching:
