Displayed signal becomes compressed when position is moved to the left

Re: Nuvistors.
It's not hum - the mainframe supplies regulated +75 DC for plugin heaters. It's Coarse Balance. The beautifully simple circuit Tek used is only possible with 8393's. Dave Wise

Re: 7T11 trace shifting left as time/div rotated.
Well - not quite fully clockwise, but almost. Now to the chase - I gave up on the calibration instructions on page 5-33 of the 7T11A manual, and went back to the original instructions in the the 7T11

Re: Tekscopes at the Computer History Museum
I also think he is right about the 8080. I do remember the 4004 and for a short time the 8008 chip sets. We were looking at them to use in an IFF transponder. In '84, I bought an 8080 chip for $200.

Re: 7603 no trace
David, More for you below. Hope it helps: I think you measured the "high" side of R860(the 130V supply line). Maybe I should have said measure the collector of Q860; this is the same as the base of

Re: Power supply problem with Tek 2220
Hi Francis, You are spot on. There is no stupid question. After I downloaded the 2230 (as directed by Tom) and compared with the 2220/2230. Immediately, I notice the difference. The 2220/2230 has a
