Re: TG501 2ns & 1ns operation
I only buy tools from Germany, Japan, USA and Taiwan (ROC), (in no particular order). I have Snap-On tools that are in excess of 50 years old and still being used daily. Tools from China, India and

I found a seller that combines shipping, so the total for three ceramic drivers was $5.10 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000440746585.html

Re: TG501 2ns & 1ns operation
I'm lucky in this regard that I live in Japan, so obtaining Japanese tools is somewhat unavoidable. :) Even when I was living in Australia, I would seek out Japanese and German tools. When working on

Re: TG501 2ns & 1ns operation
I like my trimming screwdrivers as stubby as possible, because of their small rotational elasticity. It helps overcome the trimmer's friction, providing higher precision control. A ceramic stem works

Re: TG501 2ns & 1ns operation
Jared, Thanks for the pics. I suspect at some point I'll pick up a modern DSO that can handle frequencies above 500MHz, just so I can capture such signals. The "signal" that was causing me concern

Re: TG501 2ns & 1ns operation
Jared, I was able to find these two brands on AMAZON. Vessel makes a great set of JIS Screwdrivers as well, invaluable when working on Japanese equipment. I also found some very high quality, German

Mike, Great advice that needs to be repeated. "Troubleshooting Your Oscilloscope: Getting Down to Basics" is a cornerstone of the repair process. I was fortunate to find this early on, when

Re: TG501 2ns & 1ns operation
Both Vessel and Engineer brands are very good Japanese brands I have a bunch of tools from both brands. You can find them everywhere here in Japan, not sure about other countries though.. For

Re: TG501 2ns & 1ns operation
Or Vessel ceramic screwdrivers from Japan.? I used them in the early 2000's to adjust inductors in an oscillator.? Way easier than using a regular metal screwdriver; the oscillator drifted off

Re: TG501 2ns & 1ns operation
Dave, I bought a set of ceramic screwdrivers about a year ago, from Amazon. The best thing I can say about them is that they were inexpensive. They are also very cheap. They do, however, get the job

Re: TG501 2ns & 1ns operation
The schematic depiction of switches in Tek schematics isn't always clear to me. Yes, I was clear on the 5, 2, and 1 ns circuits - really the 5ns and 1/2ns circuits, and that K450 switches between

Re: TG501 2ns & 1ns operation
I'm not sure if you realize that 2ns and 1ns aren't generated by the 5ns+ circuits; they are separated by K450-S1, which selects either all 5ns+ signals or both the 1ns and 2ns signals. The fact that

Re: TG501 2ns & 1ns operation
Nope, not intended nor expected. But I don't expect to see the MARKER OUT output to be putting out anything while in 1ns mode. The 1ns output on the 1ns ONLY BNC is otherwise fine - as good as my
