Re: probes for vacuum tubes scopes
Hi Jim. To be frank, it seems a bit premature to look for probe information when you don¡¯t have a scope, and maybe don¡¯t know what you are going to use it for exactly. It might be better to look

Re: 7904 strange problems
Ed,
My first thoughts after reading the descriptions are switch contact issues in the selector switches and or something in the routing logic that is on the back plane of the mainframe. If I remember

Re: probes for vacuum tubes scopes
A few things to consider when selecting probes:
Check the probe's compensation range against the input capacitance of the scope input.
For work in tube circuits check the max input voltage spec of

Hi Barry,
I'd be interested in buying the remaining V/Div knob(s). The ones I have have lost the silkscreened numbers (1/2/5/10 V etc...). Will pay a reasonable price + shipping to France, of

Re: probes for vacuum tubes scopes
I don't know of a reason to call the 535 best for audio work, but if so, I'd pair it with a 1A7 plug in for it's 10 uV/div sensitivity and variable bandwidth, 2nd choice 1A1 for 5 mV sensitivity with

Re: Solder - Tin/Silver or Tin/Lead/Silver?
I¡¯ve been using the WBT solder on all my Tek repairs and have had zero issues. But I bought my 1/2lb when it was $50 cheaper. And still have over half of it left.

Re: probes for vacuum tubes scopes
Hi Jim. Always glad to encounter someone using tube scopes in this day and age. I design and troubleshoot with tube scopes as well, although I often reach for the 2465A. Now it would be hard to find

Re: probes for vacuum tubes scopes
The handbook for the scope should tell you its input impedance which will tell you what probes it can use. Typical scopes have 1 megohm input but not all. Probes can provide voltage range extension

The Tek catalog from March 1967 is what you need. I've had one for years and its one of the best single references for the 500 series stuff that you will find. I see its available on Tekwiki -

probes for vacuum tubes scopes
Hi, everybody.
So at some point I will take the plunge into vacuum tube audio, and according to George Lydeck on this group, the Tek 535A is the best scope ever for tube audio work.? Now, I figured
