Re: Tek 2465B Calibrator issues
I'm unconvinced it could check the measurement accuracy in one sense, since I assume the cursors and calibration signal are derived from the same source.
It could be used to check the X linearity and

Re: Tek 2465B Calibrator issues
Hi Marcial,
Have a look at W2AEW's YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiqd3GLTluk2s_IBt7p_LjA search there for 'compensation' and watch the probe compensation videos. This

Re: TEK 475 voltage issues.
Sorry, there was a resistor with 104V on it and this resistor was touching
the groundplane of the PCB.

Re: TEK 475 voltage issues.
On mine, I had a fault where the 104 was dragging down the 110v
The 104v was shorting/arcing to the ground plane of the pcb as it was
touching and over the years the paint on the R wore off?. I

Re: Advice sought on 7934 vs 7904A mainframe
The 7934 is somewhat rare (much rarer than the 7834), and is a fine storage scope. Like all Tek's
"multimode" storage scopes, bistable is useless (ridiculously low contrast), but in variable

Re: Advice sought on 7934 vs 7904A mainframe
The 7934 is the best Tek storage mainframe. It's quite usable as a
general purpose scope in non-storage mode, but obviously it is not as
bright as a 7904 or 7904A.
Both the 7934 and 7904A have fans

Re: I wonder if there is much interest in vacuum tube oscilloscopes such as the 500 series
It seems like most people here would actually use a scope. The other side would be those of us that don’t have scopes to use, but to restore and preserve. I only use a scope to fix a different

Well, there's the 400 series, of which I had some, and still have
468s. I have a Telequipment D75 which was well loved at one time (and
put aside for other, more sophisticated equipment).

Hi,
As a relatively recent member, I'm unlikely to ever own or have space
for a tube Tek, but I'm thrilled to know that people are keeping them
alive. As many as possible, I hope.
Please keep

It's probably just temporary; at least I hope it is.? I've limited myself to the 7K series and earlier, omitting the portables.? Have to draw the line somewhere!

Hi John,
I suspect that it's just a matter of what's going at the moment. I have seen a number of older scopes being worked on and written about here, over time.
I have a 575 that I intend to use,

Re: Tek 2465B Calibrator issues
The point of this on the 2465s is that it allows the user to validate the
time base accuracy on the spot. For this purpose, the poor rise and fall of
the calibrator are unimportant, as you just line

Re: Tek 2465B Calibrator issues
I don't like the "calibrator" output on the 24x5 series: the period changes according to the timebase so that there is always 5 cycles on the display. At high sweep speeds (i.e. much faster
