Re: 485 as a business dependent daily driver?
Ondrej, I have seen an intermittent problem with the Ch1 & Ch2 BNC input connectors. I think it is where the center pin connects to the PCB.It wasn't my scope but a scope at work, I don't know if they

Re: 485 as a business dependent daily driver?
What does your business need? Two benefits of the 485 are not having calibration constants stored in a fragile ROM, and having a proper 50ohm input (not 50ohm//15pF).

Re: Spectrum analyzer Tektronix 7L13 on mainframe Tektronix 7603
Hi Attilio, It's important to understand the limitations of a noise source used as a substitute for a tracking gen. Depending on what you plan to measure, a noise source may be just fine, or it may be

485 as a business dependent daily driver?
Hi folks, I scored 485 with few missing knobs and very blurry trace. It was for about $30 so I didn't expect much from it. I have 2445B as a main scope I rely on for my everyday work as a vintage

That is a great write up indeed! if one follows this with the instructions in the manual, it should be a piece of cake.

Re: Spectrum analyzer Tektronix 7L13 on mainframe Tektronix 7603
The eBay ad is a mess but the device is decent, well worth it but won't do wonders for $20. It's a white noise source, just a plain Zener diode hooked to a wideband amplifier. Reference (average)

Thanks Toby and Barry, I'm becoming partial to Nichicon, not because I think their documentation is better, but I am becoming more familiar with it. And their capacitor series. I've found their Series

Re: Yet another 'replacing carbon resistors with metal film' question....
AHA! Yes PG502 is a fine unit, the back term 50 Ohm is handy. I have several, neither has ever has any problem. For scope cal, the really fast rise pulses are from PG506 and Leo Bodnar's 40 pS pulser

Regarding snap caps, the leads are bent into a crook so as to allow inserting processes to push the leads into the PCB holes and grip the cap in place until soldered. Otherwise, they're like their
