Hi everyone,
Yesterday, while working with my Tektronix 2465, I suddenly heard a strange noise from inside, followed by a very unpleasant smell. There was no smoke, and the trace was still visible on the screen. I immediately turned it off and haven’t tried powering it on since.
I suspect it might be a Rifa capacitor gone bad, but I need to inspect the boards to be sure. After removing the cover, I realized that I can’t clearly see how to remove the A2 (Horizontal) and A3 (Vertical) boards.
My main question is: Can I remove the A2 and A3 boards without taking out the A1 (Main Interface) board first?
Or is there another trick to access them more easily?
Any tips or advice from those familiar with the 2465 would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
