Re: DC balance pot on 575 curve tracer
Not sure if this problem is on the vertical or horizontal amp, but the trouble-shooting should be similar.
First, the balance pot: on early s/n's this was 5k, changed to 10k on s/n 6630 up . 100k

Re: Tektronix 454A Oscilloscope No Trace but Beam Finder works fine?
Yes that has been the only one so far. As soon as I replaced it, the ¡®scope then worked fine so I can say for sure it ¡®s bad.

Re: New method for 7K SMPS problem diagnosis
Well, at least it's alive. The power supplies are all up and it has a sharp bright blue trace, but obvious problems in the vertical system and readout so far. I'll have to work on it hopefully

Re: Tektronix 454A Oscilloscope No Trace but Beam Finder works fine?
Hi Jeff,
How did you determine that those transistors were bad? If you used one of those do-it-all component testers, check again with a DMM or curve tracer. The testers can break down the

Jeffrey,
A KSP10BU will replace the bad transistor. The pinout is BEC. This transistor will replace others as well. The 0367 is an example.

Re: 80E04 sampling module - fair price?
Well, those are expensive birds, mostly because of the hybrid frontends.
But you still can buy a non-functional one for $200 - $500.
A typical 8x00 series plugin contains a hybrid frontend where the

Re: 80E04 sampling module - fair price?
Well, one just sold on epay for approximately $5K. The '04 is a TDR

bandwidth is 12.5 GHz.
