Re: 0.25R resistor in calibrator ground
My guess would be to save the calibrator from a backed signal (feeding an external signal into the calibrator, AC or DC). Don Bitters

Re: 0.25R resistor in calibrator ground
?Exactly. High-gain plugins (Type B, D, etc) were seeing hum on the calibrator. The resistor made the bottom ranges usable. In the 535 Mod Summary, it's Mod #1412, effective S/N 5001. Dave Wise My

Re: TEK465 Horizontal trace
I found a set of 4 on eBay that are supposed to be NOS and tested good: https://www.ebay.com/itm/313344479069 These match what's called out in the SN<250K service manual: 152-0125-00, 4.7mA, 15pF. Not

?Dave P, that bottom view of a TO-72 is only epoxy sealing the annular joint between header and can. If that's a Silicon transistor, most likely the can is full of inert gas and the die is passivated

Re: TEK465 Horizontal trace
Dave, I've had a search through the CDPC (Common Design Parts Catalog) for the tunnel diodes (Tek PN 151-0386-00) in the 465. The service manual says that they are selected from 1N3718, but the Tek

Re: Persuading a 7S12 to play nice with a 7934.
Yes, the intensity modulation of the 7A26 trace by the dot-blanking leakage is only noticeable when looking at a signal which is related in frequency to the 7S12 sweep. In my example, I'm looking at

0.25R resistor in calibrator ground
