Re: Slightly OT: How can I dissolve Potting Compound?
MEK is not MEKP... and MEK is not known to be toxic to the liver. Acetone is not as "bad" (whatever that means) as MEK... and acetone is present in the human body, and disposed by it, during normal

Re: Odd 2247A problem, looking for insight
Let's see, 62 ohm resistor (that feels like a 1/10 watt just to start), input capacitance of some sort (20 pf, but you'd think that wouldn't be much), feed the scope RF.? 27 Mhz, 20pf gives about 294

Re: Spectrum analyzer Tektronix 7L13 on mainframe Tektronix 7603
Thank you so much Jim, therefore your 52.5 MHz crystal cannot be used to convert the TR503 to TR502. Patience I will try to find a TR502. I thank you for the help you have given me. --Cheers Attilio

Re: I built a TM500 mainframe tester, and updated the design. Someone might find this useful?
I see no significant advantage to a group purchase of the wafer switch for this tester. DigiKey has 100+ available and the discount for a quantity purchase is not that much. Further, it is likely that

Colin, I don't know a cost yet for the board set and I am not sure I can get an accurate estimate of shipping to the UK. My experience shipping to Europe is that it cost a *lot* more than our domestic

Re: Odd 2247A problem, looking for insight
Walter, I suppose it is possible that U112 has beefy input protection (diode clamps to the supplies?) that might survive enough current to burn a small 62 ohm resistor. At maximum sensitivity the

Odd 2247A problem, looking for insight
I have a nice looking Tek 2247A scope here that has been sitting on the shelf for a while, due to a bad Channel i input. the signal is a horribly attenuated and differentiated replica of the actual

Greetings Attilio - I did some research on the 502, and the xtal that tek used. It is a SC cut 3d overtone series resonant crystal in a TO-5 transistor package. Bliley Crystal in the US still might

If you want to kill your liver, soak your hands in MEK. Acetone and lacquer thinner are just as bad. All can be very destructive on components. A considerable time ago when I was frequently reverse

Re: Slightly OT: How can I dissolve Potting Compound?
I would second all of the suggestions to obtain a new supply... But, for forensic purposes, and because it has not yet been mentioned, I have heard of Methylene Chloride being used in de-potting.

Re: A question from the unwashed relative to: I built a TM500 mainframe tester...
Wouldn't my idea of bringing the connections separately to the front panel solve this? Continuity between each end of each 25 VAC winding could be tested without the mainframe being powered up. Colin.
