Re: in-circuit capacitor testing (ESR tester) -- ideas appreciated.
I use an IET DE-5000 LCR meter. Mine has both tweezers and Kelvin clips (i installed these to replace the alligator clips that came with it). It will test ESR at 100kHz and capcitance at 100/120/1k Hz

Re: Replace/Repair TM 500 Module Side Panel Latch
Shapeways shipping to UK has got stupid expensive lately. I need to find a UK based 3D printer that will SLA print in nylon. PS If I do find someone, will you make the models available for DL? Thanks

Re: Replace/Repair TM 500 Module Side Panel Latch
I modeled these up and put them on Shapeways, and I understand some people have had success with those. You can buy prints, or you can download the models and print them yourself. Here are the links,

Re: Replace/Repair TM 500 Module Side Panel Latch
There are existing 3D models for these. I'm not sure where I got mine, probably Thingiverse or Tinkercad, but I've printed a bucn of them and they work. I'm happy to supply either the models via email

Re: Looking for data on 9-pin Vacuum time delay relays used in old Tek-scopes
I looked tonight at Nebraska Sales & Surplus. They have them. the 555 driving a relay looks more and more attractive. https://www.surplussales.com/Relays/RETimeD-5.html

I did this review of 3 easily available units. It is still valid today. http://www.condoraudio.com/wp-content/uploads/Reviews/How-to-Choose-an-ESR-meter.pdf https://www.evbesrmeter.pt/

Re: Binding Post Thumb/Head Nut Replacements
I have added another picture to the album (/g/TekScopes/album?id=266234) showing all six candidates I have tried for replacing missing thumb nuts on 500-series scopes and plug-ins.

Re: Looking for data on 9-pin Vacuum time delay relays used in old Tek-scopes
right. I was thinking about a 555 timer chip driving a relay. places like surplus sales of nebraska, or perhaps sphere might have the originals. --rick chinn

Hi George, Yes, I will admit that is my bench. In terms of the 465 videos. The vertical section will post on Friday. And I hope to be recording the Horizontal and time base this weekend. That should

Re: Recreating an old board for the 7854
That was a miss label. Q500 and Q510 are the same part number it is 2 discrete transistors. I have it updated. Zen

Re: in-circuit capacitor testing (ESR tester) -- ideas appreciated.
I use an Extech LCR200 for in-circuit testing. It computes the overall impedance at your specified frequency. Just make sure you COMPLETELY discharge the capacitors using a 25K high wattage power

Everything you ever wanted to know about ESR and various designs: http://kripton2035.free.fr/esr-repository.html I built one of those designs and it was very helpful. There's also an ESR adapter for

Re: Replace/Repair TM 500 Module Side Panel Latch
Both my PS 503A modules have clip-in side panels. And as to the side panels being perforated or not, my assumption for which ones are perforated and which are not is it is heat-related, but this is

You can use Python scripts to generate the Kicad footprints for the PCB edge connectors. I've done it for my TM500/5000 and 7000 series extender projects. https://github.com/anotherlin/tek_tm_ext
