Re: 503 HV Transformer
Chuck,
I had the same fault as in Joel his 515A in one of my 502As.
It seems you checked filament voltages delivered by T601 and concluded that these were good. But the CRT winding fault is not a

Re: 503 HV Transformer
Hi Chuck,
I have seen the same failure in my 515A, and the cause was a failure of the EHT transformer resonating capacitor which became leaky after a few minutes. In the 503, this capacitor is C620

OK, I believe you are correct in determining that T601 is likely not the
problem.? I did not pay as much attention as I should have to your
original email where you already mentioned that

Re: 503 HV Transformer
I've pretty much verified that the LV supply (T601) is good. When the T602 voltages drop the +500V output from T601 doubler
stays constant, as do the filament voltages.

Re: FG503 questions
The data sheets are right.? There was an alternate reversal of in and out on some gates.? IIRC, the 7401 and 7402 have that reversal.? I've avoided the heck out of using those parts.

Better check the data sheet. On the 74S00 NAND, pins 1 & 2 are input, pin 3 output, on the 74S02 NOR, pins 2 & 3 are input, pin 1

Re: 503 HV Transformer
The voltage breakdown of the CRT heater winding, which can indeed be
resolved by installation of a new 6.3 VAC filament transformer, is a not
uncommon failure mode for many 500-series scopes.? But it

Re: 503 HV Transformer
The LV transformer is good, the filaments are sourced from that transformer except for the 8393 Nuvister vert input amps.
The HV transformer supplies the +250V, +85V, +100V, +12.6V, -100V & -3000V.?

503 HV Transformer
My memory isn’t good on this, but 30 years ago I had to wire in a separate filament transformer for the CRT. I don’t recall the symptoms that led me to this fix. I used a junk box filament

503 HV Transformer
I picked up a Tek 503 scope recently and decided to get it running. Found only one bad filter cap. But it appears the
HV transformer T620 (pn# 120-199) is bad, all the voltages out of it gradually

Line filter failure in AN/USM 488

I'd cut and paste the Spanish text into an online Spanish-to-English translator, or, if the text is on a website, as you indicate, use Google translator on that page.

Re: Did I discover a manual error in my SC502?
I see what you mean. In that case, I won't cloud the issue with any more suppositions. I'd be interested in seeing if you find any clarification on it.

Re: Did I discover a manual error in my SC502?
If that's the case, then it appears that agrees with CH1. The contacts are listed in 4123 order in the manual so it appears that is the position for CH1.
