Re: Cleaning corrosion from Leaking Batteries
My initial was correct as far as expected chemistry KOH and NaOH being relatively equivalent for the purposes of what I was trying to convey. My subsequent Opps was in error so therefore this is..

Tis/did. Thank you Rob

Re: Cleaning corrosion from Leaking Batteries
Yes, the KOH is very alkaline - but not very corrosive to copper unless it allows electrolysis current to flow when the circuit is active. I'd recommend neutralization with a dilute acid only if you

Re: [TekScopes2] Oil of Wintergreen
Hi. Do a search about 'Frog Lube'. I believe Wintergreen is used in it. It was developed for weapons use by a SEAL. It works very well on everything. Usual disclaimers apply...... ron

Re: Cleaning corrosion from Leaking Batteries
You are precisely correct. Yes, KOH is what they use. Please excuse the brain fart. Still, very basic. Regards

Re: Tektronix 2465 capacitors etc. - Going deeper!
There are two diodes off the +87, one to U800 and one to U950. Both devices are known to have issues. You might just lift one end of each diode and see if the 87 volts comes up. That will isolate

Re: Tektronix TM500 Extender Cable
Hi Dave, Oke you win. Because I have three original Extender Cables I haven't figured it out in the past. I will do this a.s.a.p. Please give me a moment (or two). Egge Siert

Re: 2246 Mod A - no trace
Update: I traced the issue to a bad ENable signal on the preamps which turned out to be a bad contact on the ribbon cable connector from the Processor board. I must have bumped the ribbon cable

Tektronix TM500 Extender Cable
After looking at the TM506 manual and the Rear Interface Databook, I am a little confused about the TM500 extender cable construction. The cable is clearly made up using 17 larger wires and 34 smaller

Re: [TekScopes2] Oil of Wintergreen
Care should be taken when using 100% solution of Oil of Wintergreen as it is toxic and it can enter the body through skin. A quick web search will turn up much toxicity data. Here is one instance from

Re: TM500/5000 Extender Cable Wire Gauges
It is on the Ebaman site, but not where one would expect to find it. Here is a direct URL: http://www.ebaman.com/index.php/remository/func-startdown/21634/ . Cheers, Dave

Re: Cleaning nickel-plated adapters and input connectors? Magic formula
only non residue (or very low residue) spray cleaners should be used on high frequency components! WD40 leaves a lot of residue, even if you don't see it.

Re: Cleaning nickel-plated adapters and input connectors? Magic formula
I've had good luck on cruddy BNC's with Radio Shack spray "tuner" cleaner. I'll bet WD-40 would work too. You can buy pipe cleaners that have some stiffer bristles embedded in the fluffy fabric. They

Re: TM500/5000 Extender Cable Wire Gauges
I've searched ebaman for this - but draw a blank for the p/no or extender as search terms. Craig

Re: TM500/5000 Extender Cable Wire Gauges
Hi Dave, Good point. I accidentally switched the last two. It is indeed 34/28 AWG. Egge Siert

Re: TM500/5000 Extender Cable Wire Gauges
The wire size specification is very interesting (multiple gauges and conductor counts in a single flat cable), so I went poking around and found a reasonably good photo of the extender assembly at

Howdy Rob, ? On the OT subject of electropolishing (steel in my case) I came across these two links: http://bbs.homeshopmachinist.net/archive/index.php/t-38026.html

Re: Type M01 'scope
Hi Dennis, Very nice this one of a kind. But the remark about a nightmare to build I cannot follow. In that era (till 1972) Tektronix also build the Type 556 (Dual Beam/Gun, Hybrid Design). I think a
