Re: Restoring HP 1740A scope, strange waveforms seen, assistance please?

The signal is being differentiated, as if it is being coupled through a small value capacitor.? I would first look at the attenuator switch contacts on those particular v/div settings for an open or high resistance.? In other words dirty switch contacts.

Hi all, I've been a member for a while but lurking in the background while working on the scope and looking out for any discussions about a 1740A taking place.


I now have the scope in a running condition after replacing 2 faulty transistors and now while testing the scope with the 1V test connection I discover that channel B works as expected but channel A works OK up to 0.2V on the volts/div switch, moving to 0.5V and upwards the trace goes odd.?


I was wondering if anyone could point me to the area that I need to be looking at on channel A to cure the problem. I have uploaded photos of? both channels with the settings on 0.5V and 1V so you can see the problem?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me.
