Re: 468 still
I have both Tektronix Service manuals for the 486. Volume 2 is P/N 070-3516-00 and the latest revision is December 1982. On schematic #8 it shows +13.0V at the bases of Q958 and Q987A. Bear in mind that R971 connects to the +15V bus at one end, but then goes to chassis via R970 (the B sweep start pot) and R972. So, the voltage on the slider will vary according to the position of the slider of R970. If my arithmetic is correct this variation will be 12-13V, so your maximum 12V is low and your minimum 9V is also low. Maybe R970 has a dirty track?

Hi Chris,

Now I confirmed my remarks quoted below, using the 7T11A/7S11 combo in my 7854. Real time range .5 ms/div, speed 200 ps/div. In 7854 analog mode of course again I only see sparsely scattered dots. But after ACQ (acquire) I get a nice stored waveform, with correct edge and rise time, exactly as in the 7T11 equivalent time ranges. This works because ACQ continues acquiring until (almost) all horizontal positions in the stored waveform are filled. With 1024 points per waveform this took many seconds! BTW I used the square wave output of an FG504. One feature of this function generator is that rise and fall times can be selected. I chose 200 ps and 150 kHz repetition rate (quite arbitrarily, higher might be better to reduce jitter). The 200 ps transitions are still nearly linear with sharp corners at top and bottom, in stead of S-shaped. Very nice. Albert On Tue, Dec 18, 2018 at 04:36 PM, Albert Otten wrote:

Metalwork for 7854 power supply
I just acquired another 7854 (Wot? Not another 'scope?).
In its previous history someone has removed the bottom and side covers from the power supply (200-1262-00, 200-1906-00, 200,1263-01). I think these may be the same as 7834, 7934 and 7104. Does anyone have these parts available (ideally in Europe)? Or a spare 7854 PSU? Meantime I'll continue struggling to remove C154 which has leaked from the power supply (rusted screws). Dave |

with the one gem. It's not an unreasonable approach. I do agree that the "you have to take it all" approach can be off-putting to some, though for me, I've always been willing because I can then put pieces into the hands of people that need or can make good use of things and I have both the time and space to make this happen. If it's the 'all or nothing' there will be people that take the all. In that case and when the goal is to clear things out, that approach works too.

Re: 'Tek Spec' v 'Selected from' wrt RPR
From memory, and it has been a lot of years, but I believe this to be correct. Although a 151-0190-00 is a 2N3904, you don¡¯t know that a generic 2N3904 is a correct substitute. Tektronix may have tightened up one or more specifications for their use and that would be reflected in the Tektronix component specification for that part number. Or they might have loosened one or more specifications to allow multiple vendors under the same part number. As such, the engineers would need to consult the Tektronix component specification for the correct information. Revisions, such as -01 through -05 indicate changes in the specification which could be packaging (metal can, plastic DIP, crimped leads, tape & reel, etc.) or for other specifications were different.
Typically the -00 did indicate a generic part from the vendor, but different vendors could have different typical specification. The PISL (Purchased Information Source List) indicated which vendors parts were used. Sometimes a revision would indicate a specific vendor only if their parts worked better in the circuit or had some specific characteristic. I know I part numbered a specific vendor's part because it behaved better on power up and power down when used in a non-volatile memory circuit. The Common Parts Catalogs sometimes indicate the differences between revisions. 153- prefixes were matched, selected and paired sets of transistors and diodes from 151- and 152-. If selected, it meant that a key parameter had a tighter specification than any of the ¨CXX suffix parts. |

Re: 468 still
I have a mediocre PDF file of the 468 manual, Artek's manuals are highly recommended and Dave is extremely helpful, to the point of finding and scanning a missing page from an obscure manual that I purchased from him.
My mediocre copy seems to say +13.0V on the base of Q958. Have you noticed that C869 which has nearly 15V across it is rated only at 15V? Roger |

Re: 7T11 horizontal memory
Hi Chris,
Without quoting here all the previous stuff I like to visit these findings once more: In my opinion it's impossible to study these fast rise times in real time mode. The 7S11 sampling moments are quite random compared to the 7T11 sweep start moments. Suppose you have the "true" rising edge located somewhere on the sweep. The fraction of sweeps which show a sample dot on the rising edge is very small. So you see dots mostly at the bottom and the top line, and seldom an intermediate dot. Also the last dot in a sweep before the start of the edge is sampled most often quite some time before the start of the edge. Similarly the first dot after the edge is mostly much farther to the right on the screen. So was my observation at 500 ps/div at the 3rd ET range and 200 ps rise time. If you look at "some distance" then you might have the impression that the rise time is rather long. If you look at how far the bottom line dots appear to the right and the top line dots to the left, then you notice just a small time gap between those two, more realistic for the true rise time.
