HP 140A and 141A oscilloscope power supply issues
Hi folks, I'm in the process of attempting to repair two older oscilloscopes - one is an HP 140A and the other is an HP 141A (its storage tube "brother" version). My 140A frame has serial prefix 546

Re: Defective YTO 5086-7906 HP-8561E
Thanks for your replies, I will look for a repair service. Does anyone have a schematic for the small control board on top of the YTO assy ?

Re: HP8753C Source Pretune after YIG replacement
Yes, my conclusion also (unfortuantely). I did find a replacement YIG (not cheap) but I still have the original question regarding the pretune constants setup when I replace it.

Depending on the display, you may be able to find a commercial LED replacement. Harvey

Re: HP8753C Source Pretune after YIG replacement
yig is dead. The Yig in the 8753 part of the dreaded HP yigs that tend to fail. Find a new 5086-7934. Repair is only possible with a part that is not easy to source and you need a wirebonder best

Re: Convert monochrome 5454x scope to color
That makes sense. I would assume that at least early LCD panels used a CCFL lamp as a backlight. It may be possible to retrofit LEDs on such a unit.

Re: Convert monochrome 5454x scope to color
The display controller logic is completely different, no pads for replacing the CRT stuff with the components for the LCD. You could probably do a daughter board to add the logic, but you're going to

Re: HP8753C Source Pretune after YIG replacement
The voltages are OK but there is NO outut from the YIG. I see the 3.8 GHz signal (+10dbm) from the cavity oscillator but absolutely nothing from the YTO.? If it's no the YTO what else could it be?

Re: Convert monochrome 5454x scope to color
Hello Glen, Thanks for your suggestions. I google around since a while to try fixing this scope, and checked every element known to interfere with initialization. I replaced the battery by two AA

Re: Convert monochrome 5454x scope to color
Jean-claude, Did you check the voltage on the Lithium battery at the rear of the main board? A common problem with these oscilloscopes is that they will boot to a black screen when the battery is

Re: Convert monochrome 5454x scope to color
I haven¡¯t looked at the two boards side-by-side, but I don¡¯t believe the differences are ¡°significant¡±. They use the same ribbon cable to interface both the CRT in the A models as the LCD

Hello Bill E, I have a 54522 which has booting problems. It does not get out from initialisation, and i struggled a lot to to try fixing it, but without success. It's a CRT version, and the

Hmm don't see how that would be possible.? I suppose it could be done it you had an exact circuit diagram,?and the right colour CRT.

Re: Convert monochrome 5454x scope to color
I looked into this a while back. There are significant differences between the CRT and LCD versions, including different main pcbs. It seems the only practical path would be a hack that would convert

I have never seen a 5090B manual but did upload a scan of my 5090A manual to Mediafire some time ago and have just confirmed the link is still good.....

I generally try not to kibitz, but your comment about going through the adjustment procedure WITHOUT touching ANYTHING is ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON !! Quoting peter bunge <bunge.pjp@...>:

Convert monochrome 5454x scope to color
Has anyone converted a monochrome 54540 or 54542 oscilloscope to color. If so what is actually required to do the conversion?

Re: HP8753C Source Pretune after YIG replacement
Does replacing the YIG without adjusting anything bring the VNA back to life? If not it possibly isn't a bad YIG. [email protected]> wrote:
