Tek 485 Scope, Very strange Z axis modulation query
Here¡¯s my story, Tek 485, a ham fest purchase, it was dirty and nonfunctional. It's a pretty common issue with ham fair test equipment. After cleanup of the 485, I found it had a shorted Tant in the

2465B focus at high brightness
My 2465B suffers from a miss-tracking of focus with intensity. When the intensity is turned up (75 to 100%) I have to re-adjust focus. When I do this the readout is out of focus (because it is a lower

Re: TDS420A capacitor rot and ACQ failure
I have been working on getting the schematics for the TDS 420/460 converted from production engineering schematics to a form which can be used without trying to create a manual. I have no background

Re: Tek Type 130 L-C Meter - confirming the meter capacitor 'error'...?
My caps were backwards as well. Looking at W140.com I see that they were added at SN 6040.

Re: Tektronix TDS744A power supply repair - part help needed
Hello Chris, I am afraid there is no reasonable way how to rewind the transformer. It is very small (just 3x3x3cm), has 6 independent windings and broken one is closest to the core. It is also

Re: Tek Type 130 L-C Meter - confirming the meter capacitor 'error'...?
It's quite hard to believe that every 130LC was drawn and assembled incorrectly, and not picked up during what appears to be one ofTek's longest runs of production. I do recall a piece of Marconi

Re: Tek 465M saga
Replying by memory, I believe it is correct.? In most cases, if the fuse that blows is the .250 mA fuse, check the tantalum caps nearby. The culprit mostly will be the HV block. There was another

Re: Tek Type 130 L-C Meter - confirming the meter capacitor 'error'...?
I don't recall for sure, but on my two 130s I think those caps were also reversed from the "proper" polarity, but it didn't seem to make much difference to operation. The net DC voltage on the meter

Re: Tektronix TDS744A power supply repair - part help needed
Hi, not what you want to hear, but have you considered re-winding it ? Either on the same or a similar former. If you're very lucky, the primary winding might be the outer one, or a separate former ?

Re: TEK 492 Spec Analyz advice, parts
Bad SMD? Not likely due to age. However, for the long term every board should be pulled (only one or two at a time) and inspected anyway, see. See

Re: TDS420A capacitor rot and ACQ failure
Just checked, and it does not. Different ACQ board altogether. I have a 540, and it is similar to that. Makes sense, same series.

Re: Tek Type 130 L-C Meter - confirming the meter capacitor 'error'...?
Same here, my caps were backwards. I also replaced a couple of the film caps there because they were DiFilm with high dielectric absorption which warped the low-scale reading. I found that polyester

Re: Chasing an analogue video signal - help
There are many ways to approach it. You should be able to do this with a 7904 + 7B92A in delayed trigger mode. You'll need to display a complete frame with the main sweep and display the scan

Re: 7904 pre-260000 PSU crackling
When I first got this 7904 it has been stored unused for years. I turned it on and the scope, with some plug-ins, entered tick-mode. I spent months trying to figure out what was wrong to no avail. I
