Re: 485 super weak brightness control
Note that checking the leakage of those diodes is important, just a DVM diode check doesn't discover problems. It looks like the behavior of your 485 is different in different settings. As the first

Hi Ozan, Try to find in the Files section a document called (I believe) "Repair tips for 22XX power supplies" I'm not at home now, so I can not look for a direct link right now, but the document made

Re: Interesting Tek Documentary
Hi: I've seen parts of it (or maybe the whole thing) before on YouTube. The Museum has some films... and from time to time some other YouTube channels post these old films. I'm not sure what OPB has

Re: Tek 2225 that wont power up after a knock :-(
Shorted Q913 could cause what you saw. However, did you measure it in place or after disconnecting from the circuit? All component information is in the service manual. Section 8-9 (Page 113 in the

I have identified that Q913 is short circuit between E,B&C and I also suspect Q923, but until I get them out that's as far as I've got. I cannot see any bulging caps or burnt components, damaged

I resolved the problem. My confusion was cased by the Tek 070-1304-00 August 1974 manual for the TM501 found on TEKWIKI. This earlier manual shows Q10 on the left and Q12 on the right. The later
