Re: 7B15, 7B10 questions
Hi Dennis: We have 2 7104s... and occasionally I see one for sale, and the picture of it usually shows it operating with the amber "limited viewing time" indicator illuminated. I'd only pay the prices

Re: Will this capacitor fail?
You should be fine. 20% above 200 volts would be 240 volts. BTW, the schematic shows the value C744 as 170 micro farad. George KD6NEW

Re: Need Help Troubleshooting Tektronix PS280
I would stick with what you have, maybe it's time to do a little service on it, sometimes you need a dual supply or even 3voltages it's rare though. I should have done more resurch on this before I

Re: Thoughts on TDS744A
The condensers you mention were a worldwide scourge. Many millions of them were made when an angry employee stole the electrolyte formula from one company and took it to another. The problem was the

Re: 2235A Vertical Trace Issue
The dim traces on the vertical part of a square wave is normal. This is due to the speed which they are "drawn" on the CRT face. The faster the rise time of the trace, the dimmer the trace will be.

Re: Thoughts on TDS744A
Hi Siggi, While the models I mention do have aluminum SMT electrolytics on the front panel, I have not seen any that were leaking. I suspect that the leaking caps on the older models were a quality

Re: General Radio 874 Connector, inner conductor "bendies"
The General Radio part of the IEC site has many old GR catalogs. They will help identify the connectors used and those available as parts. GR used a couple of variations of binding posts, mostly

Re: 7000 series carrying handles - how strong are they?
I've carried the 500s and 7000s, for long distances occasionally 1Km plus, and frequently carried them a couple of hundred meters.. and lots of times carried them 10 to 20 meters, from lab to lab,

Re: General Radio 874 Connector, inner conductor "bendies"
I found a 1001A that I though had a BNC output connector; but, it was an 874 to BNC adapter, inserted into the front panel 874. I have some GR units, mostly older than 1950, mostly audio, 600 ohm

2235A Vertical Trace Issue
I'm slowly going through my 2235A scope, replacing the Schaffner line filter and the RIFA capacitors on the Pre Regulator board. The RIFA caps were visibly crazed, so I'm glad I'm replacing them

Will this capacitor fail?
I have a Tektronix 577 curve tracer and I am recapping the power supply board that is located at the rear of the instrument. I am looking at replacing C744 which is a 250V 1700uF capacitor. I found a

Re: General Radio 874 Connector, inner conductor "bendies"
While it probably isn't "news" IET Labs still sells GR874 connectors along with other GR equipment that they still manufacture. https://www.ietlabs.com/

I have no knowledge of the particular component, I use a chemistry hot plate that I have roughly calibrated for pre heating, just dandy for certain surface boards where one leg of the component is

I usually use a Dremel tool with a cutting wheel. The filter takes a lot of vibration, unfortunately, and a respirator is needed unless you want to breathe a lot of lead particles. But it does get the

Re: Fan direction on TEK485
One reason for positive pressure cooling is that it reduces dust. Air is draw in through the filter which removes the dust (one hopes) and blows it through out the chassis. However, positive pressure
