Re: Why U800 is such a big problem in Tek Scopes
Whoops forgot. Walter Shawlee used to batch up failed U800 chips and send them away for repair. I don¡¯t know if he still does it. Our friend in Greece sometimes has the IC for sale on his ebay.

Re: Why U800 is such a big problem in Tek Scopes
Very good points Dennis. I would like to add a couple of thoughts. First, I agree that this is an overheating problem. I do not have experience with all 24xx models, but I have repaired a few 2465B

Why U800 is such a big problem in Tek Scopes
I don't pay much attention to the portable scopes that are a very big portion of TekScopes posts. I have no idea which portables use it but I can pass along a tip that will improve your chances of

Re: Fan direction on TEK485
The 7854 (and maybe other 7000 series scopes) draws air in through strategically placed perforations in the covers (top and sides but mostly bottom) and blows it all out the back. There are no

Mea Culpa! It appears I was the culprit. Life is flying by too fast. I forget what I wrote just a day earlier. Dennis

Re: 7000 series carrying handles - how strong are they?
I think the rust problem in the 500 series handles was the reason why Tek went to stainless. Years ago I picked up some older (and much lighter) HP meters that had a similar problem with rot but did

Re: Thoughts on TDS744A
There's quite a bit of confusion around about the capacitor problems on the TDS500, TDS600, and TDS700 series of scopes. The scopes that had all those leaky caps on the acquisition board are: TDS500
