Re: SC502 Trace Issues - Beginning and ending of trace connected.
You might want to see if the unblanking pulses are doing what they're supposed to.? (or blanking pulses).? In some older scopes, there are diodes that have gone bad.? Do be careful, since they may

Interesting that you mention intensity. The intensity adjustment does nothing. I am troubleshooting that now.

blanking problems.? You might want to check the CRT bias adjustments and similar voltages.? Turning down the intensity should make it vanish.? If not, then definitely blanking problems.

Re: Help with floppy drive
I solved the issue...
Digged out my oldest Apple laptop, a 3400c, from about the same era than the AM700 and still working with MacOS 8. Once I formatted a floppy in that laptop the AM700 was

Re: I've done it! Finally, a real Tektronix book!
Is the 456 a typo in the table of contents?
I think the issue you'll have is someone else recently done a very similar book and gave it away for free.

Re: about those vintage ceramic terminal strips...
Silver solder is still made and some RoHS lead free may qualify. See AIM
We designed the 500 kHz Metcal SP-200 solder station in 1990, constant current resonant supply.

Re: Tek "CONSOLE PORT" TDS 5/6/7xx Oscilloscope Debug Card RS-232
I've thought about emulating the MC68681 for a 'proper' console debug card, but didn't need it bad enough. Not sure if it would be possible to meet timing requirements with a microcontroller, but it

Re: about those vintage ceramic terminal strips...
3% appears to be optimum.
Here is a table of soft silver alloys:

Re: F.S.: Tek "CONSOLE PORT" TDS 5/6/7xx Oscilloscope Debug Card RS-232
I have a spare one I can sell you, shipped from Japan. It's small so shipping shouldn't be too bad as it can be sent as a 'small packet'.

Hi Albert,
I can certainly try that. I'm almost to the point of just living with this. I've had the boards off and back on all too many times for this little bit of annoyance but I would still love

Re: 7704A - Readout Stretches Vertically
I've been through checking most of that but there is certainly the possibility of something I haven't checked. I get proper waveforms for the timer chip (U33433). I could always try swapping U3480

Re: What caused this on electrolytics in 422?
This mold happens on plastic knobs also. I take a heat gun to the knobs and the mold just disappears.
