Re: 2230 PSU Replacement Component Choices
When I replace these resistors I replace the high value ones with two resistors of half the value in series to split the voltage drop. They seem to last longer that way.

Re: S-1 transient response problems
Thanks, Ed & dan. I will check R18 in particular. But I apparently have overthought the problem. It's mechanical, not electrical! I posted three pics in "Sampling with 3S2" (and set the order to most

Re: S-1 transient response problems
Hi Charles, I have had multiple S-1 and S-2 heads with transient responses that could not be leveled. In all but one case, the problem was caused by R18 that had drifted high by 100% - 150%. It also

Quick update: I was able to remove Q1197 from the +75V regulator circuit quite easily by loosening the power transformer and taking the rear panel off to go in through the fan opening. Threw that bad

Re: 485 super weak brightness control
What is the B sweep voltage level when there is no sweep? Both A and B sweep are expected to reset to +13V and should go down from that level when gate starts. When you say it doubles does it always

Re: Persuading a 7S12 to play nice with a 7934.
... or it was wrong in the Rev. 1985 manual? There the schematic says Q694 is NPN while the parts list says PNP. It's long ago that I ran into this. Albert

Re: Persuading a 7S12 to play nice with a 7934.
Hi Richard, W.r.t. to your final question: Which manual are you using? In my paper manual (rev. March 1984) the labels Q690 and Q694 at <7> are wrong (interchanged). The internet pdf (Rev. March 1985)

Re: 2230 PSU Replacement Component Choices
Hi Bert, Thanks for supplying your experience. Yes, I may be going overboard, but the long repair stories on the EEV Blog bring out the preventative engineer in me! The RIFAs capacitors in my input

Re: 485 super weak brightness control
I did lot of measurements and there are two steps where the gate timing goes wrong. These are associated with relay. I am trying to find some relays to buy but the guy in the UK I used before now

Re: S-1 transient response problems
I looked up the part and see there is no C-V curve, only the max C at 0 bias. So, that's the max C to expect. What you don't know then is what the actual C will be when biased up properly - it must be

Persuading a 7S12 to play nice with a 7934.
I've encountered a rather annoying issue when trying to use my 7S12 in tandem with other vertical and horizonal plugins in a 7934 mainframe. The dot blanking signal which drives the mainframe Z axis

Re: S-1 transient response problems
Thanks! Feel free to keep sharing your knowledge ;) I have never played with varactors so that C-V curve didn't even occur to me... so what happens to the junction capacitance under forward bias? But

Re: S-1 transient response problems
Charles, the reverse-biased capacitance of two diodes in series is not necessarily one-half of the nominal C (from the spec) of either one. The capacitance is nonlinear, and is maximum near zero bias.
