Re: Replacing a 7000 MF Rear Interface Connector: IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?
There's a trick to removing contacts, most of which is traditional.? Remove one at a time, and then pull them out while heating the pin from the back.? I use a Metcal desoldering gun. The non

Re: 485 super weak brightness control
Couple of years back I was planning to go to Prague during an Europe trip but timing didn't work out. Hopefully soon when travel is safe again. Since our timings are off here are more considerations

Re: 485 super weak brightness control
I'm in Prague, Czech Republic, Central Europe Yes it is I can see it clearly jump when I engage the switch (push in/out) It's was 49.something and low ripple, I will do more accurate evaluation

I am close to San Francisco, California (more precisely in Silicon Valley area). Just to make sure: Is variable setting of time/div in "cal" position? You may want to exercise it few times to make

Re: Replacing a 7000 MF Rear Interface Connector: IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?
Dennis, it is possible to remove those connectors, but it would be a PITA. I've removed large connectors from certain boards with my Hako solder flow/rework machine, but usually for salvaging parts

As far as I know, my 106 has its original case. This is what it looks like: https://photos.app.goo.gl/uJ2kG29mVRwKTq4F8

Re: Type 106
It is probably the wrong case I guess. But it seems to fit it quite perfectly. I wonder what case that would¡¯ve been off from originally.... Hmmmm.

Re: SC502 looking for a replacement of dual 6-pin FET in input stage DON'T TRY THIS
There isn't anything particularly demanding about the SC502 -- it's a 15MHz scope, and the pair of matched FETs just reduces the offset and drift. Space is tight, so there can be mechanical

Re: SMB Adaptor (again)
If you have brand new SMBs, they should be tight at first, but will gradually loosen up with use. They are not built for lots of plug-un-plug operations, and after many times, you may wish they were

Re: Replacing a 7000 MF Rear Interface Connector: IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?
I just got my 3d printer. That is one of the parts that I hope to replicate. It does not seem like it would be too hard from a photo then just extrude out the length of the part. Eric wrote:

Re: SC502 looking for a replacement of dual 6-pin FET in input stage DON'T TRY THIS
Are the Tek dual FETs that special in this application? I don't know anything about the SC502, so I'm just asking, because I have a Heathkit IM104 FETVOM I built circa 1970 that has a dual FET in it.

Re: Replacing a 7000 MF Rear Interface Connector: IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?
I had connectors that weren't making good contact and I think I bent a couple of fingers finally (this was a long time ago). So I bought a backplane from Deane Kidd and swapped them. It looked like a

Re: Type 106
Also, it comes in a rather unusual (to me) case, which does appear to be stock. /g/TekScopes/album?id=261997 That certainly looks like a Tek case, but it might not be the correct one

Re: SMB Adaptor (again)
My SMB-to-BNC cables have Radiall (top quality) plugs and they are a pretty tight fit as well. Much tighter (subjectively) than an average GR874 plug, and with a click, of course. Raymond
