Re: Help needed with no trace no beamfinder on 465 (not b)


 

Perfect Keith.
This clearly shows that Q1416 is always in saturation and that CR1416 never conducts (is even reverse biased).
Hence I think the fault is not in the regulator circuits.
You might measure the average collector current of Q1418 with an ammeter in series with the fuse. For a good Q1418 I expect some 0.2 - 0.3 A. Note that Tek's spec of current gain 20 is for large collector current, 3 A. The absolute and differential gain decrease dramatically when collector current increases. At small current a gain of 100-150 is well possible.
When the collector current is in the range I mentioned then I expect a fault further on. Though the Ft of Q1418 might have suffered for some reason and this transistor is the culprit. The 2N3055 may also have been replaced by a PO, who knows. It seems that not all 2N3055 makes/types work satisfactory in this application. But your HV did work before and failed suddenly.

Thank you Albert. I put the scope in dc coupling and centered it. Needed to
adjust the scope to .5V/div in order to keep the same gain for comparison.

Here are the waveforms:

/g/TekScopes/photo/49286/9?p=Name,,,20,1,0,0

Collector is a hair more than emitter, base is a little more than twice the dc
bias, as you say about 0.65V.

Is that the correct way?
