Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
John, I don't have any direct experience of the Tek 468 or the 8085 processor that it uses but I am fairly familiar with some of the other 8 bit micros, so this is gleaned from the 8085 manual: If

Re: 585A -- time base A linearity
Hmm. There's no single component that's used only on that setting. 0.5ms/div, 0.2, and 0.1 all use C160G/M, while all 5's from 50us/div to 0.5s/div use R160F, all 2's use R160E, and all 1's use R160D.

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
BTW, I should also mention that all the pins on the two ICs that I removed were very tarnished. I tried cleaning (very carefully since they seemed rather fragile) with both IPA and Servisol switch

Roger, that's a kind offer which I may take you up on. I will e-mail to ask particulars. However, first, here are the results of the test procedure on page 330: All voltages are within normal

Weird. Yeah, if I go online I have to click on "view quoted text" to see what you wrote... For some reason, your emails to the list appear as quoted text.

Miguel, thanks. This is what I suspected. I think unless anyone has a better suggestion I might buy one of these anyway but with all the cables, adapters and bits:

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
Page 328 of the Tek 468 Service Manual at KO4BB .com (linked to from Tek Wiki) shows how to isolate the analogue and digital portions of a 468 to verify that the analogue section works correctly

Thank you for the pointer to the TekWiki resource. I have found and downloaded the two ROM files. I do have an AVR programmer and a ZIF socket board that can take up to a 40pin DIL chip but I'm not

Re: 585A -- time base A linearity
I second that, especially since at 0.5 cm/div the high value 5 M of R160 is switched in. The cap voltage increases when the sweep goes further to the right.. Any leakage then causes nonlinearity.

Re: Tektronix 475
I now have it working properly, but still don¡¯t know what the original problem was. Maybe resocketing transistors and the CRT did some good. The Y output amplifier was bad, but I found a new one on

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
I believe the ROM images are on Tekwiki, I think that is where I got them when I needed them. You will most likely have trouble finding an original 24 pin Eprom, but I used (as i understand most do)

Re: 585A -- time base A linearity
That symptom could be caused by a leaky timing cap for that sweep setting. If it starts off at about the correct speed on the left, but slows down as it moves to the right (e.g., square waves get

585A -- time base A linearity

Thank you for the part numbers and checksums for the ROMs. Unfortunately I do not have an EEPROM programmer so am unable to verify the checksums or program new ones. I would need a bit of help

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
John, I have a 468 as well but have not used it in a very very long time. Unless a near impossible part to find part has burned out it should be repairable. Since this is a processor controlled scope,

Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
I recently acquired a Tektronix 468. When powered up (with digital mode turned off) it will occasionally display a good trace but usually there is no horizontal sweep. The time-base is working but the
