Re: Tektronix 494P 1st LO and Frequency failure(s)
(Un)fortunately enough, the frequency control section is one area that I've seldom/never had to work on, myself. Since you (Federico) have extender boards, I think I'd try applying a combination of

Re: Want : Tek576 collector knob (366-1007-00/-01) set screw hole height
Probably 0.4inch. "Common Design Parts Catalog MECHANICAL Catalog 2" helps a lot. Even the dimensions of the knob flutes are accurately described.

Re: Tektronix 494P 1st LO and Frequency failure(s)
While it may not matter for this application, the inductance of film resistors may be different depending on type, value and trimming method both from one resistor to another as well as to carbon

Carbon composition resistors have their place where where short duration, high energy pulses are involved. Film resistors just open up. Carbon composition resistors increase in value with age,

FWIW Allen-Bradley carbon composition resistors are identical with Ohmite.? For some reason AB marketed through Ohmite. Same with AB and Ohmite pots.They are about the best of the carbon comp

Re: Tektronix 494P 1st LO and Frequency failure(s)
I have repaired a 494 as well as a 2756. Apart from what KE5FX writes in his document there are a few other things to look out for. On several PCB's there are High Ohm carbon mass resistors made by

Re: Tek 576 CRT specifications, design, x-rays, ... alternatives
This subject has been discussed many times over the years. A short answer is that the technical aspects of the CRT are quite modest in terms of speed (and therefore operating voltages), and the only

Tektronix 494P 1st LO and Frequency failure(s)
Hi all, I'm new to this group, I'm italian, apologies for language errors ;-) I have a Tek 494P (fantastic!), but as you well know it is a ¡°time bomb¡±. I have repaired it many times, but now I am

Re: I got a working 2465B, looking for some advice.
I didn't want to mention any particular vendor/manufacturer. Nothing? ... at least nothing inexpensive... beats the tunnel diode pulse generator, for low level, very fast, very sharp pulses. Tekwiki

Re: I got a working 2465B, looking for some advice.
If you can get the model, you can get it 3-D printed, very cheaply... maybe even free shipping. Unless you find someone locally, with a parts mule... getting the 3-print might be cheaper than shipping

Re: Want : Tek576 collector knob (366-1007-00/-01) set screw hole height
From your picture I note that we have different knob styles. I only read 366-1124-00 in the manuals 070-0905-00/01 but "Tek_RPR_366-_Knobs_and_Pushbuttons" lists both 366-1007-00/01 and 366-1124-00

Re: Tek 576 CRT specifications, design, x-rays, ... alternatives
Another option is to increase the CRT filament voltage. The easy way is to set the mains voltage selector to LOW. Since the CRT filament is powered directly from the main power supply transformer,

Re: 7A13 overshoot
I Adam, I strongly suspect that you have a bad trimming capacitor (C163 or C187). They had influence on both + and - signal path. If there is no change at all when turning they, one strong possibility
