Re: scanned: Common Parts Design Catalog #1 + Agilent/hp users group

 

Kurt & Pete,

Thank you so much. It takes a village to keep old Tektronix CRT stuff alive. Glad to warm myself by this village fire.

Kindest regards,

George

475 CRT

 

I am offering these to the members first before Ebay. I am parting out three 475's so have three good CRT's for offer have tested them all come on have a trace and trace moves with vert. and horizontal position controls.
These were damaged or incomplete scopes missing vertical side and other parts also bunch of broken knobs.
Also have the HV stuff if needed plus CRT tunnel stuff. Have two A9 main boards look in good condition and main transformers some case stuff, delay coil etc.
Asking $65.00 for each plus shipping, ask about other stuff on price. These are real clean look very nice.

Re: Machinable Potting Material ???

 

Paul,
Devcon makes two metal filled epoxies which would probably not make great potting material because of conductivity. They are outstanding repair materials however. The original one is Devcon A. It is steel filled epoxy putty and is very similar to JB Weld. The two Devcon F compounds are aluminum filled epoxy. The original Devcon F is just like Devcon A except for the aluminum content. However, Devcon F-2 is POURABLE! It would probably work well for what you intend. I was told years ago that these materials were 80% metal although I do not know how they do it. I had a cracked injection mold years ago which we needed to get some parts out of before it went out for repair. High temp Devcon saved our butts!

Very valueable, must be a lot of work those hundreds of pages. And al text-searchable.
Thanx for both of you, Ren¨¦

Re: tektronix 214 option 94/ Li-Ion fork

 

Hi Miguel,
What modifications did you make to the charger circuit to adjust it for the
different charging requirements (current limits, voltage cutoff point, etc)
of Li batteries compared to NiCd batteries.

Can you do a test with the scope on (two traces on the screen) with a fully
charged set of batteries and see how long it lasts.

Asunto: Re: [TekScopes] tektronix 214 option 94/ Li-Ion fork

I wouldn't pick to much on Li-Ion chemistry. There are a lot of deployed
chemistries and construction methods. Some have problems some don't,
just like NiCd & NiMH. I've seen plenty of NiCD rotting in their
electronics. Neither Ni has much shelf life, yet I have seen some Li
devices wake up after a year on the shelf.
Realistically, all these chemistries have quirky charging and
discharging requirements. But if I am designing new hardware for the
masses, it is highly unlikely I would be successful selecting NiCd
chemistry. Yes, Li-Ion needs a different charging means, but there chips
and PCBs for that. Yes, they can balloon and catch fire sometimes. That
is a manufacturing QC issue.

Given the choice between a coin NiCd and a postage stamp Li-Ion for a
little rechargeable gizmo device, I'd pick the Li battery every time.
The coin Ni-Cd is soooo Palm-Pilot era!!!!!

Not in normal use, no. Unfortunately, there's a lot of them where
someone just took the probes anyway, they do plug in, but it's
internal.

Ask me how I found this out...

Re: 7L13, more exact frequency readout

 

Hi again

Now I have done quite a few measurements with my 7L13. I just used a
know frequency source to tune it into the frequency I am searching for
and then I do the measurement. This works well enough for my zero span
measurements with resolution of 300kHz.

I did buy a frequency meter for up to 5.8GHz and tried to correlate
the frequency of the YIG oscillator with the voltage between pin 6 of
U2110 and ground with a more precise voltage measurement than the
frequency readout contains.

Regarding phase locking of LO1. According to the manual, the span is
done in the following way:
= 5MHz/div: Main coil of the YIG
2MHz/div to 100kHz/div: FM-coil
<=50kHz/div: The phase lock loop of LO2, and then the LO1 can be phase locked.

I found out that the plugin need through calibration since the center
frequency moves quite a lot with changing span.

But the nice thing is that I think I have solved the EMC problem the
setup was supposed to help solving and my 7L13 is very helpful in my
EMC precompliance toolset.

Gudjon

Tek 545 Scope, with tubes, seems intact, but listed as "for parts only" on eBay $100

 

hi,

Spotted on eBay: Tek 545 with tubes for parts... $100 located in: Crimora, Virginia,



Don't see a scope trace in the photos, but perhaps intensity adj. low, or HV trans. issue ?

Anyway, all those tubes, seems reasonable.

Re: Concentric A and B time-base knobs/interlocking

 

Indeed and almost too easy to fix! It turned out that the coaxial wire going to the ext Z-axis BNC had come adrift. Re-soldered and now z-modulation is functioning, but still no bright-up on "A INTEN" and odd behaviour of "B DLY'D" scans, so back to the task of replacing the timing board with that from the parts-donor.
I'm looking forward to having this in a state where I can do a full calibration.
Colin.

Re: Machinable Potting Material ???

 

Just try a Helicoil first,

I just fixed some stripped bakelite knobs from a 1920's radio using 4BA Helicoils - worked great!

Greetings,

I remember reading someplace about a machinable potting material that is easily flowed into a mold. I've tried JB Weld, but it doesn't flow well. It has a tendency to leave void areas. I want to drill a new set screw hole and hand tap it for 4-40 set screw.
I remember seeing some discussion on potting material on one of the groups I read, so I'm asking for help. Any advice will be appreciated. I will also post this to some of the other groups I read.
