Hi Tom. I live in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Not sure if there are any Tek

gurus in this region of the country, but would appreciate a mentor. This high voltage stuff is scary business for someone with no formal training. Where are you located? Maybe someone on the list lives near you and can help you learn this stuff. Regards ----- Original Message -----

Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2014 9:17 AM Subject: [TekScopes] Re: Tek 465B woes Thanks to everyone who has emailed the list with suggestions for me to try to cure my ailing scope. I have a copy of the service manual and have taken a look at the various schematics. To say I'm intimated is an understatement. Just looking at the voltages coming out of this unit scares me. I am just starting out on this electronics hobby path, and spend my time playing with low voltage DC circuits. To be honest, I'm not even sure how to go about checking the voltage within the unit, and forget about techniques to determine ripple on the supply. I have trouble really understanding what is going on in a typical RC circuit, and that's just running off a nine-volt battery. I'm afraid this one is over my head. It's a shame as I really like the scope, and I'm finally in a position with my family life that I can start fiddling with it. The scope had been in storage for about a year as I focused on my family and work. Again, thanks to everyone who gave some practical suggestions. I will file them away. And if I can't find someone who has experience with these scopes and who can take a look at it, then, one day, when I feel more confident playing with high-voltage equipment, I might drag it out and see about repairing it. OK, back to my lurking status. Kevin On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 12:34 PM, 'Tom Miller' tmiller11147@... [TekScopes] <TekScopes@...> wrote:
