Re: Mod on horizontal plug-in 7B80
Thank you H?kan. I am so happy to see vital information. I wanted to know
the extent of the modifications. I do still wonder why Tektronix made the
Modification. I am happy to have extended horizontal sweep which can be
used in my 7104. Perhaps they did it as a special Mod for one particular
customer. There is only slight cost reduction in the manufacture, since the
slower sweep rates have been eliminated. If anyone knows of more "inside"
information about the rationale, please fill me in.

This is a tough one. I have a Tek Plug-In number 7B80. It is mod GB. I see no

This is what the mod manual insert says:
//
7B80
MOD GB
This manual insert describes MOD GB as it applies to the Tektronix Time
Base
plug-in unit. MOD GB increases X2 the horizontal preamplifier gain to
extend
the top sweep rate to 5 ns/div and to 0.5 ns/div, magnified. Rates slower
than 10 us/div have been deleted, limiting the TIME/DIV switch to 11
positions
and the front-panel HOLDOFF control has been deleted, and internal circuits
wired to provide minimum holdoff for all ranges.

Design a Rogowsky coil. With the right design you can go from about 200Hz to 5MHz. Needs a wideband
active integrator since a Rogowsky output is proportional to dI/di.

Ron, I find a digital scope handy for "stopping time", that is, looking at infrequent events and determining their relationship in time.? Glad I have an HP 54504A in addition to my Tek 5110N, 7603, and 7904 analog scopes.? Point is, a DSO can be useful even for analog/low-speed work.

Re: Russian Tunnel Diodes

very significant leading edge overshoot and ripple. To my weathered
eyes the peaking and ripple appears to be 20-30% of the pulse
amplitude. Leo supplied my (early revision BNC) pulser with a CSA803 screenshot showing measured rising edge aberrations of 9.4% P-P and falling edge aberrations of 3.6% P-P. This compares favorably with my S-52s and other tunnel diode pulsers. I believe he has improved the layout since that time.

Resurrection of a 494P...
I recently acquired a 494P on a flea market.
It had been left in an unheated shed for > 10 years having to
endure the scandinavian climate with cold and moist during
wintertime and heat during the summers. After it was salvaged,
it was turned on and there was a picture on the CRT for 10 seconds.
Then it died and was left for dead. After that it hit a flea market
and I baught it. At first for spare parts, but I decided to give it
a chance.
I started by replacing all electrolytics in the PSU as well as
all the MP capacitors and then also
giving it the treat of replacing the AllenBradley resistors
in the deflection apmlifiers according to KE5FX
When turned on, still no picture, so all HV supply parts was replaced.
I did not have any 2SC3333 som instead a BUX84 was used.
Voila: I got a nice steady picture on the screen.
Initially, it would not lock, and I also got error messages
about non consistent non-volatile memory error but they cleared
themselfes.
Now using spans narrower than 50 MHz the analyzer performs
excellently, but if I try wide spans, apart from my test signal,
there are random visble spurs that occurrs
all over the band in an erratic way.
Also the noise level jumps up and down.
I assume that this can be caused by long term drifts outside
any calibration performed in the past. If the behavior above
is due to a component failure, I would be glad if someone
pointed me in the right direction, where to look first.
If the problem is only related to drift/calibration, I will attempt
a recalibration.
I can go on replacing capacitors and so but if the problem
above is a result of a bad YTO, I doubt that I can find
a replacment unit that won't cost me a fortune.
After all, this is a 30+ year old instrument.

Re: TIP: Current Probes ...
The LEM sensors come complete with core, and I believe some even split open.
The Allegro sensors are just ICs that sit over a PCB trace without
magnetic circuit, I don't believe they are as good for what we want to
do.

Re: TIP: Current Probes ...
I checked on ebay and the cheapest adapter I could find was almost $20; not very sensitive (1 mV per Ampere) and no idea of bandwidth.
If anyone knows of a project to create a current probe I would be interested.
