Re: Cleaning corrosion from Leaking Batteries
IIRC NiCd uses a NaOH (sodium hydroxide) electrolyte which is definitely basic.

Re: Cleaning corrosion from Leaking Batteries
Opps I forgot to mention that NiCd discharges should be acid (vs. alkaline batteries that will discharge basic) .. Therefore I would 'think' that CLR would not be your first choice (it might be for

Re: Oh No, I need the T912 CRT pin out?
Thanks. In my small panic I did not think of the ohm meter, I have the cable that should bring me to +/- 1 pin and I can see the ohm meter should allow me do figure the rest Thanks John _____ From:

Re: Cleaning corrosion from Leaking Batteries
That should not mater because after you use the CLR, you should follow up with a good wash with a mild soap (dawn) and hot water. Then rinse with distilled water or 91 % alcohol. Blow it off then a

Re: Oh No, I need the T912 CRT pin out?
You should be able to see where the filament leads are. On most Tek CRT tubes that would be pin 1 and 14. Confirm with the cathode to pin 2 and the 1st grid to pin 3. Please verify this by looking at

Cleaning corrosion from Leaking Batteries
I'm looking for a solution to cleaning up and restoring to usable condition printed circuit boards and their electronic components that were subjected to the electrolyte from a leaking NiCd battery.

Oh No, I need the T912 CRT pin out?
I have a T912 that had heavy use and was not working that I was given. I fixed a number of transistors and got a trace working but still had some intermittent problems. For practice, I decided to give

Re: Manual or schematic available for the High Amplitude PulseGenerator?
Interesting. Does it say "WARNING 80V on Center Conductor" above the SMA like it does on the GR874 ones? Does it look like there was a larger hole for a GR874 where the SMA is? Dennis

A note for the archive. Telonic Berkley, makers of the RF Attenuators often fitted to the 7L12/13/14 SA still exist. For anyone with a (partially) duff attenuator they can supply replacement chip

Tarnex is the best I have found if you want to be quick and consistent. I think the amount of metal loss is trivial. Rinse and neutralization are key. Most all of the ¡®wives tale¡¯ methods of

Re: Tek 2465b display drifting up and down
Thanks for the advice. All four channels looked reasonable and I didn't notice any non-linearity, but I only spent a few minutes with the scope. I'll get methodical next. I did notice some crosstalk

Re: Tek 2465b display drifting up and down
I would start looking on schematic 6 since the vertical drift affects everything. If it is a failure in U600 or U400 then there is not much to be done but there are other possible. The channel switch

Re: 2456B whole display moved up on the CRT
Have you made any progress on this issue? I just received a 2465b today and it does the same thing after warming up for a while. Good luck! -Scott

If you can get to all of it, a pencil eraser actually works pretty well. It would be tougher to get around the base, though.

Tek 2465b display drifting up and down
I just received a 2465b and it seemed fine on my initial check. However, after leaving it on for several minutes, the readout and display started to drift up and down. At times, the top of the readout
