Hey Rick,models public on ShapeWays: ShapeWays wants $5 a piece, which seems pretty dear. I wonder if modeling sets of these strung on a runner would make them less expensive each. I believe the originals were independently injection molded, and printing these on a runner would leave a blemish where the runner had to be cut off. Also note that I've never printed these, so YMMV. If you want to play with the model, then here's a Fusion 360 link: . This is converted from the original FreeCad model, which means the construction details of the bodies has been lost.

Re: 7834 reduced scan
--I haven't checked but I am assuming the 7834 reduced scan is the same as the 7934. It works by doubling the cathode voltage on the CRT so that the deflection sensitivity in X and are each reduced by a factor of two. In normal scan you would have had a substantial overscan that you can confirm with the horizontal position control on the timebase. I don't --suppose your timebase is in X10 expansion is it?

Re: Tektronix 2430A Questions
Yeah, Labview is easy to get a project started but not so easy to support.? We have a ton of Labview code at work, and it's a nightmare to change anything.? Trying to use Matlab from now on.Probably I will try Python to control my instruments in my garage lab at some point.Good luck!Jim FSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

It works pretty good, but I don¡¯t have time anymore to hobby a scope. I would have loved this scope 20 years ago. If anyone is interested PM me an offer.

Re: 2465 Ch 1 probe not switching to 10x
If the replacement attenuator works acceptably, I¡¯ll use it. If not, I¡¯ll pull the bnc from the new one and use my existing attenuator. Appreciate the suggestion re the possible source, though.
When I got this scope, for free, about two months ago, the ch 1 bnc was covered with duct tape and the statement that channel 1 didn¡¯t work. Since then, I have visually inspected all of the caps, blown out the dust, verified the lvps voltages as correct and determined that the channel 1 issue seems to be cured by chilling U600. I suspect an intermittent terminal on U600 and will clean those contacts. All channels now work correctly, and the calibration seems pretty good still. Just working on the probe sensor ring and planning a future re capping right now. This forum has been a great resource for me. Thanks again for the offer re the bnc. Greg |
Re: TEK 468 no power

Just follow the AC in and check for it at each obvious point, if it gets to the main transformer, follow it on the secondary side to the full wave bridges, and so on.

I have a Tek 468 scope my son in law bought for me for fathers day last year. It has been working fine until 2 day ago when I pushed the power button and nothing happened. Both fuses are fine I have 121.5 volts on the line side of the IEC connector, the same on both sides of the fuse and J108. No voltage anywhere else. I'm not a scope guy and have never tried to repair one. I would like to know if there is a known common point of failure I should check for first. Looking at the schematic shouldn't I see some voltage on J110 with the power switch closed? Hope this makes sense. I will try to post a picture of circuit. |

Hey Greg,

I replaced the BNCs on my 2467 a couple of years ago. See message /g/TekScopes/message/115057 for the kind gentleman who sourced replacement BNCs for me at a very reasonable price. Maybe he has more of those. I'd think the precise attenuation ratios of your attenuators get baked into the calibration, so you'll likely stay closer by replacing the BNCs than the entire attenuator. If your scope hasn't been calibrated in the last couple of decades or so, it may not make for a hill of beans, though :). Siggi On Fri, Nov 16, 2018 at 5:14 PM Greg <gcdco@...> wrote:

Re: 2465 Ch 1 probe not switching to 10x
Ok, it appears that the bnc jack on the channel 1 attenuators is bad. The connection to the probe ring was loose and intermittent. The bnc jacks alone are not available for any reasonable price, so I picked up another attenuator.
Btw, the component numbers you referred to were for the 2465b. My 2465 has the same circuit with different component numbers. Thanks again for the pointers. Greg |
Re: TEK 468 no power
Hi..ok and ok....then that should be a relatively straight forward chase(?), same as with a valve-amp....no voltage at transformer = break. Are their any 'conditioner' inductors on the line side of the transformer?
Is the main switch also switching .the neutral? Is the neutral actually only a 'phantom' A broken neutral can show continuity but fail under load. Check active and neutral at the outlet....I realise this sounds 'derr' but it can happen that the neutral is supplanted by a long path to earth. In the two cases I have experienced it over 50 years, it was a loose neutral connection at the incoming mains and a loose wire at the MEN link ....however if the rest of the house is all ok...it could be the GPO (outlet) a check is only 30 seconds.for a certainty and a firm starting point . I think another chap sent you circuits. -- Jack |

Step 2 - the fuse.? Step 3 - the power cord.? Step 3 - the line voltage selector.

You should measure contnuity across the prongs of the power plug, maybe 10 - 15 Ohms. Bob On Friday, November 16, 2018, 11:56:43 AM PST, Robin_Birch <robinb@...> wrote:
