Re: Weird serial number on 7L14
This is interesting! I have a 3L5 with serial number J22. Would that also be a prototype? Bob Krassa AC?JL

WTB: v9.7 EPROMs for 495P memory board
Want to buy 495P v9.7 EPROMs which are installed on the A54 memory board. P/Ns 160-8316-00 and 160-8315-00. Or, complete working A54 board with these EPROMs installed. RIck K8EZB
Re: Tek 495P A54 Memory Board Repair
When you want to align and solder a new SOC IC, I apply a little solder to one corner pin, then position the new IC on the pads. Then I heat the pin over the pad with the solder. If it looks good, IO

Re: Tek 495P A54 Memory Board Repair
Pretty clear you're not helpless! For what it's worth, I find pulling a SOIC is simple with basic tools, I use solder wick along all the pins first then 'ping' each pin in turn by using a scalpel

Re: Tek 495P A54 Memory Board Repair
The SO style makes it both easier and more complicated. I use a metcal iron with a very specific desoldering tip for SO width packages. If you're not familiar with metcal, it's a very nice temperature

Re: Tek 495P A54 Memory Board Repair
Sergey, Thanks for your input on the Norway extenders. This is exactly the reason I am looking for someone who has been there and done that to repair my A54 memory board. Inside knowledge/experience

Re: Weird serial number on 7L14
The "B04" tag indicates it was a B-phase prototype build - fairly close to what went into production. These were used for final environmental, EMC, and other testing, and as demos for pre-introduction

Re: Tek 495P A54 Memory Board Repair
Quick note about those extenders from Norway Labs -- they are OK and work for repairs (I refurbish 492BP/494AP instruments on a regular basis and use those) but one should be very careful when putting

Re: 2215A LVPS repair
Keep in mind that the upper section has current limiting so it should be able to run, at least for several seconds, with a dead short across the 43VDC secton. I had a 2213A at one time that was a real

Re: Tek 495P A54 Memory Board Repair
John, Thanks for your reply. I'll check the DIP switches again. Thanks for the tips on removing these switches - will be helpful if I do the repairs myself. Norway Labs (http://www.norwaylabs.com/ )

Color match for 500 series knob
Hey all, Does anyone know of a paint which is a close match to the knob color on 500 series scopes? Vallejo Air "Dark Sea Grey," "Dark Grey Blue," or "Black Grey RLM66" seem like they might be close.

Re: Tek bits
Cool. Got a postal address/PO box I can send them to? I can probably scrounge up a few HV diodes too, as they suck for the intended use but would be fine to replace annoying vacuum rectifiers made of
