mail you. It's a good writeup. The big fun comes in replacing the cap. The PCB is easy to damage. It's probably easiest to disassemble things a bit so you can cut the offending cap off at the board level, then desolder the terminals. The can is a big heat sink and if you desolder it intact, there's a tendency to use too much heat which lifts a PCB pad or two (although it can be done). I'm probably getting ahead of things here, but as Tom mentioned, if you replace the cap, you'll have to jumper the 3 negative terminals on the PCB; Tek used the can as a jumper. When I do this, I use a little adapter PCB that lets me plug in a snap cap and matches the pinout of the old cap. Totally unnecessary, but it makes for a nice repair. You can tell that lots of people have dealt with this problem, so don't be shy about asking questions. Paul On Thu, Dec 04, 2014 at 02:41:42PM -0500, 'Tom Miller' tmiller11147@... [TekScopes] wrote:
There is a file in the files section called Tek 465 Power Supply Capacitor Replacement Guide.pdf that might help you find what you need. Since the yahoo boobs went to neo, I am unable to open the file, so good luck. --
