Someone asked me in an email if I could put a link. I wish I knew how. I don't think I can link to a pic that I've posted. Go to the picture you've posted, open it in your browser. In the address field of the browser window (which changes to where you are), select and highlight the complete address. Go back to your email and paste that in. That's one way to do it. I am new again to Tekscopes. I don't know how. But you will find almost 20 good pics of a P6202 Fet probe that will hopefully help me or someone else in future deal with a damaged tip socket.
The socket seems to have a U tab that straddles the end of the PCB. It is probably hard soldered in a jig. Likely the socket is closed at the bottom to prevent wicking. These sockets are indeed closed at the bottom. They're meant to be put into a PC board and soldered in to lower the profile of whatever chip (or part) is inserted into them. The small teflon? washer is slightly loose on the body of the socket but doesn't come off. I can see what I think is the FET and a couple of surface mount resistors? one of which is adjacent to the solder pad for the tip socket. The teflon washer is likely meant to keep the probe tip from grounding out against the outer probe body.
Pics show an object, probably a broken off piece of wire, round in a square hole. Too small and too deep to grab.
I don't know how to deal with this.
One would be to replace the socket. Another would be to remove the socket, go to a room without much in it, grasp the socket firmly (but gently) with pliers, and then bang the pliers sharply against a block of wood. If the obstruction goes away, you're lucky. A question is to ask if you are sure that the socket is obstructed. It has to have a set of contacts in it. Take a sewing needle or pin of the right diameter (I measured 0.030 on the tip of my P6202), and see if it is obstructed. The needle should bottom out gently. if a simulated probe tip fits in, there may not be an obstruction. I'm rather puzzled how something could break inside the socket. I've seen many broken tips, but they all die at the junction of the external tip and the replaceable body. If you can't clear it out, and you're willing to take a chance, I have a few sockets that a probe tip will slide into. You'd have to be willing to remove the socket and replace it, though. Harvey

Re: 7S12 with S-4 and S-53 troubleshooting
Hi Nenad,
I did, I uploaded a photo here:
/g/TekScopes/photo/89504/0?p=Created,,,20,2,0,0
this was taken with SCAN at approx. 21h position, so that "Morse code" could be seen.
Your photo reminded me of a modification I made in my 7S12. See here and surrounding messages: /g/TekScopes/message/96331I'm not sure your "morse code" problem is related to it and also not whether it's related to the unit not showing waveforms. W.r.t. sensitivity for DC input (did you try?) I forgot that the setting of S901 "Correction Memory Switch", see page 2-5, is important. For now the best way is to set the switch in the rear (OFF) position (as long as you don't have a pulse generator head). Here is one more attempt to show that the preamplifier responds to the strobe pulses. With a DMM attached to the front panel Vertical Out connector you can see that Memory is slowly drifting when no strobe pulses are generated. You can set the S-53 for free running when Level is roughly midway and Stability cw, and stop and start free running by slight rotation of the Level knob. You don't need any signal for this and you can try it at different Offset levels. During free running the DMM will reflect the vertical position of the visible trace, and will listen to variations in Offset. When you turn off free running, the trace gets blanked but the DMM still shows the trace position. You will see the DMM reading slowly drifting away in some direction. When you turn free running on again, the DMM reading will immediately jump back to the normal value. The trace should reappear immediately at the previous vertical position. If you don't want to wait for drift you can change Offset while free running is off; the trace should immediately be at the new position when you turn free running on again. Albert

Well, The copy I ordered did actually arrive in the UK today, clearly not the one in the photo but nice condition albeit without the dust jacket.
It's the 3rd printing 1966 and, from writing on the flyleaf was previously owned by a 'James Brey on Jan 15, 1968' and subsequently by a 'David Cambell' - It would be neat if they are anywhere around here!

Re: Time for an inventory or size really does matter
Speaking of basement shops- last summer I went to a local garage sale in a house that was built around the turn of the (last) century.? It had lots of "old house weirdness", but the strangest thing were the joists under house: riveted steel girders!? The basement was fairly large and there were only two center supports.? The ceiling height would have been about nine feet.? I'd never seen anything like that before.

Re: Complete List of Concept Series and Measurements Concepts Books
Hi Dave,
It was the Transducers Book that Tek excerpted the last two chapters and appendices into a separate "booklet". I think the booklet was intended to be a sort of application note on the use of transducers.
It was not the strain gauge book which I was not even aware of. I still suspect that the contents of the Strain Gauge book became a key part of the Transducers book.

The concepts books (more of a pamphlet) about strain gauges is only 72

I would NOT be surprised to find that it was expanded and then became
one or both of the "Transducers" books.

Re: 7S12 with S-4 and S-53 troubleshooting
Hi Albert, thanks for your help and effort. There could be interference with Readout blanking of the trace. First of all try with Readout turned off please. I did, I uploaded a photo here: /g/TekScopes/photo/89504/0?p=Created,,,20,2,0,0 this was taken with SCAN at approx. 21h position, so that "Morse code" could be seen. If you set the range multiplier to long (X10) you might see the trace move up and down when you rotate Time-Distance. No effect. On X10 setting the whole trace gets a bit brighter. At X1 and X.1 it's the same. Time/div has no effect on the trace. You could also remove the cable to the S-53 input and set the S-53 for free running. I did not even know that S-53 could do a free run. But indeed I can get the free running trace by setting STABILITY fully CW and LEVEL to the side where +/- switch is set to. The trace is identical to what I get when triggering. My current aim is to confirm whether this 7S12 behaves as it should, good or bad sampling head. Best Regards, Nenad

Re: 7S12 with S-4 and S-53 troubleshooting
You won't see a signal from the preamplifier when there are no input
changes between sample moments So if 7S12 is not "processing" the trigger from S-53, then S-4 may always
be sampling the "same" spot in time, hence no signal (if I understood this
correctly).
Hi Nenad, This is not what I meant. After each sampling event the 7S12 memory and vertical screen position are updated to reflect the new input signal voltage. At the same time the whole sampling gate circuitry voltage values are updated such that the bridge follows the input signal voltage. If at the next sampling event the input signal is still the same then the bridge voltages remain the same. When the input signal changed meanwhile then a new correction to the bridge voltage is needed. This will happen because the preamplifier detects the change in the form of a short pulse sent to the 7S12 for further processing. The pulse gets larger when the input change is larger, for instance at the jumps of a square wave. In many applications the horizontal dot distance is short enough to show a smooth trace at the screen. Then the separate corrections in vertical distance are very small. There is much more explanation in the 7S11 manual. The time base 7T11(A) is much more complicated than the time base counterpart of the 7S12. The 7T11(A) can also do random sampling. Albert
