Re: 495 mixer beam leads replaced with C2 diode pack
That's a pretty slick repair. You sure your name isn't McGyver instead of spinroyd? ;-) Well done! Mark

Re: 2430A firmware rev?
Found this page: <http://www.keithley.com/base_download?dassetid=55762> It's rather confusing. Are these Tek scope models? Or Kiethley instrument models? Is the "C32" a firmware rev? Is it really

495 mixer beam leads replaced with C2 diode pack
see the Photo under 495 showing how i replaced the diodes using a C2 diode pack at a fraction of the cost of the aftermarket mixer and it performs much better.

Front cover for TDS420?
Anyone have a front cover for this scope they'd like to let go of? Please, no web references (ie, e-pain, et. al). Only inquiring of list members' resources. Please contact me off-list. Thanks, Dave

Re: trying to chase down a cursor and a focus problem on a 2465
Is problem #1 happening to both the cursors? Or can you move one of them the full extent? The d-t and d pots are dual units and scanned by the dac on A5. They are phased 180 degrees apart. If this

Re: trying to chase down a cursor and a focus problem on a 2465
One more thing on the cursor problem - it could also be that something just runs out of dynamic range and can only go so far - right where the cursor stops advancing. If you follow the signals

Re: trying to chase down a cursor and a focus problem on a 2465
Since you have two identical scopes, you can try swapping A5 or other modules, if it's not too complicated or risky - that would narrow down the problem areas. Just keep track of which goes with which

Re: trying to chase down a cursor and a focus problem on a 2465
As far as problem #2, are the traces and cursors also only in focus at the top or bottom of the screen? It seems odd that the readout would be affected that way but not the traces and cursors. I would

Re: trying to chase down a cursor and a focus problem on a 2465
This is a plain vanilla 2465, no A or B. The A5 display board (and the entire scope) is all through hole construction. So it doesn't have those leaky SMD tantalums. Not saying there aren't bad caps

Re: [TekScopes2] pcb software
When you have multiple identical gates in a logic chip, to simplify routing you swap them around on the PCB and the schematic gets updated. Also, for programmable logic, it's a must. If you have 1500+

In a line and circle drawing program like PCB, you can put an arc of angle like your switch has as a reference, then make text at an angle, then position on the mark. A 30 or 22 degree arc needs use
