Re: tek 577 non linear behavior in both vertical and horizontal deflection amplifiers


 

Rogerio,
Beamfinder switch is a sore spot in a LOT of tek gear. Clean and lubricate if you even suspect a problem with it. On the 576 the "cal zero and invert" switch pack is a realy soar spot and caluses lots of bizarre issues with the trace.

Thank you for teh replies.
My board is the new model (670-4126-00).
I have measured all the resistors, but without desoldering one leg and they all seem ok.

I am suspicious of S1125 (beam finder), which should be NC, connecting the -30V to the circuit.
If it is open, R1125 will be inserted in series with the -30V supply, limiting the current to both sections to keep trace in view.

It seemed that I could obtain a linear behavior of the circuit yesterday, but it was very late at night and I have to try again.
I will post my findings after more testing.
