Re: HP200CD oscillator


 

I recently dealt with that in a Tektronix 7A26 plugin.? Not relishing the idea of winding a wire of such small gauge around a small part like a resistor body, I opted to use axial chokes and a small-value resistor in soldered in parallel.? It wasn't as pretty or elegant as I'd hoped, but it works.

Thanks,

In Tektronix (and I'd assume HP as well), some of the power supply decoupling networks were made of fine wire wound on a convenient resistor (say 10 ohms).? They're easy to repair, just match the wire gauge, and wind.? One or two extra turns will not make too much of a difference in a decoupling network.

OK, I replaced the Black Cat capacitors C8 & C9, both could hold 0.5uf but had an ESR of around 12 Ohms ? seems high?. Anyway, after replacing them I have a working 200CD after adjusting the amplitude as it appeared to be clipping.

However, several of the voltages are still off and R30 is still scorching hot.

I removed the little PCB that holds C8/C9 (what a task that was) and the associated circuitry after noticing this is where the voltages are definitely different one side to the next suggesting something may be an issue. L2/L3 voltages were substantially different. I pulled L2/L3 and L2 is an open circuit, I can see the tiny wire has broken at one end. So, question is what modern component could I use to replace both L2/L3 ? Again, my lack of understanding is showing but can I use an axial choke ? I am actually wondering if I could repair the wire somehow also.
