80E04 sampling module - fair price?
Hi all,
After my TDS8000 eBay bargain turned out to be a nicely working unit, I¡¯m now looking for the expensive part, a Tektronix 80E04 sampling head.
I know those modules are for sale on sites

Re: Solder - Tin/Silver or Tin/Lead/Silver?
I have used lead free solder with success on the ceramic strips. The solder used was Kester 24-7068-1402 Sn96.5 Ag3.0 Cu0.5. My current understanding is the issue is not the lead it is the LACK of

DSA Histograms
Hi,
I am playing around with the DSA 602A and I am rather confused by histograms. I could create them, but I cannot imagine a way to make them useful (the manual does not say what they are

Re: unable to adjust 7904 focus amplifier
For the archives: the transistors finally arrived, and replacing Q1769 fixed the 7904 autofocus issue, allowing me to complete all the steps in the Z-axis service procedure. Ironically, the readout

Hello all,
Many thanks for the tips
Was not so, bad nor encrusted, just a soft brush and gently blowing, then isopropyl alcohol. About ESD the scope was grounded, damp and rainy weather.

Re: 7000 ESD Safe dust cleaning?
Forgot to mention - in real anti-static work environments it's common to have grounding leads or other conductors to keep any air or vacuum nozzles from charging. You can do that too easily enough, if

Re: 7000 ESD Safe dust cleaning?
Check the dust with your fingers before going through a lot of effort. On most old gear I've seen, there is a "loose" dust coating that wipes or blows off easily, but underneath there's a gritty hard

Re: Substitute parts for 12au6s on 575 curve tracer
The bigger deal is the doubled current draw. I reckon it -highly- unlikely that a 300mA draw might kill a secondary but I'd be checking things to be sure.

Re: Substitute parts for 12au6s on 575 curve tracer
Bill,
The heaters of the (8) 12AU6s are in series to the 100V supply. A 6V type will not work in this case.

Re: Substitute parts for 12au6s on 575 curve tracer
A 6AU6 is identical to a 12AU6 so why not sub in the 6 volt version and drop 6v across a zener or a resistor. It being a constant current load, either will work.
