Re: Anybody need these Tek tubes?
Hi Walter. I could probably use the 5642's and 12AU6's for my pile of 500 series scopes. The 8136's - not sure what they're for but I'll check my manuals to see if they're used in anything I have.

Re: I found a nice 7CT1N :-)!
Hi Jose. The 7CT1N connector I was thinking of was a header with the three banana plugs in the back (to plug into the 7CT1N) a flat bottom (perpendicular to the back) a sloping front with room for two

Re: I found a nice 7CT1N :-)!
Jose and Dick, I have a 7CT1N as well as a manual :-) so I may be able to help. In a nutshell, the 7CT1N may be used in any (vertical or timebase) slot. There is a push button on the front panel which

Re: Who's up to some remote troubleshooting?
Hi Lynn, I have a service manual for the 7A26 and could scan any schematics part you need, if that helps. Regards, JOSE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 73 EB5AGV

Re: Who's up to some remote troubleshooting?
Thanks, Stan. That's sound reasoning. I thought about it early on but having never pulled or installed a Tek IC, I was reluctant to mess around with the good 7A26. Now that I've done a few, I don't

Re: On screen display and other CRT items....
Dear John, I think that overriding concern was preserving MCP, which even overshadowed concern for phosphor. It appears that brightness setting is significant factor in time out. I seem to remember

Anybody need these Tek tubes?
Recent comments about Tek matched tubes reminded me I had some stashed away, and sure enough after a look, I have these new boxed factory Tek tubes: matched pair: 6AK5 157-0063-00 individual tubes: 2

Re: On screen display and other CRT items....
I was initially surprised by the 40-80Kh number also. The difference I think is that in a scope the tube is not driven as often (duty factor) or as hard (especially white background applications) as a

Jose and Richard, When you start working on those 7D01, do not forget that cheap IC sockets were used in them. Reseating ICs does wanders for these plugs. I was burned by trying to find which IC is
