Re: Translating a post to English
I'd cut and paste the Spanish text into an online Spanish-to-English translator, or, if the text is on a website, as you indicate, use Google translator on that page.

Re: Did I discover a manual error in my SC502?
I see what you mean. In that case, I won't cloud the issue with any more suppositions. I'd be interested in seeing if you find any clarification on it.

Re: Did I discover a manual error in my SC502?
If that's the case, then it appears that agrees with CH1. The contacts are listed in 4123 order in the manual so it appears that is the position for CH1.

The one in the manual has 4 switch contacts because the first one is the power
contact that is omitted in the mode select section. The first contact appears
in the powersupply section. Ignore the 1st contact in the physical image. The
last 4 are the ones shown in the manual.

The manual shows four switch contacts but the switch in the picture appears to have five. That seems incorrect.

So my SC502's mode contact switch positions doesn't 100% match the ones in the
manual.
Ch1 switch config should be 01100 according to the manual. But for me, the
actual switch contact is 01001.
Can someone else with an SC502 verify that mine or the manual is correct?

Hi Glenn,
As to U241, the internal gates are just used as inverters by tying the inputs together, so NAND or NOR makes no difference here. Each is a drop-in replacement for the other in this case; no PCB layout changes required. I can't think of a good electrical reason to prefer one part to the other in mid-production -- they differ negligibly in prop delay, for example. Perhaps it was just what they could get at the time, or get at a good price, perhaps.

Hi Glenn,
Unfortunately, replacing the "74S..." series logic gates is almost always a lottery win.
In circuit design, normally, the 74S series is used due to the higher speed of its logic gates and therefore a very fast step response, you can try with an equivalent code of the 74LS series (low consumption S series), but sometimes they are not fast enough (low consumption means greater slowness), if after replacement you should encounter operating defects or a degradation of the instrument's characteristics, you should search on eBay for a logic gate from the old 74S series.
kind regards... Loris IW4AJR

Re: Tektronix 760 trace issue (it's enormous)
For anyone wondering, it's fixed and the problem was caused by bad resistors in the focus circuit.
R3-R4-R5 were all significantly out of spec. I replaced R1 and R2 while I was there.
I added a couple more photos to the album. Thanks for the guidance everyone.

Re: FS: Tektronix 7613 w/Horizontal plug-in in, and vertical plug-in
If you're not in the area you can have it shipped, though if it is shipped, I cannot guarantee it's operation upon arrival. I will do my best to pack it.

I have an old Tek Model 502 that is missing two of it's cover latches. These are the older latches that have a screw, anti-rotation washer, and plastic flat wingnut. One of them also needs a spacer washer but I can fabricate that. Would anyone have two of these animals out there? Willing to pay shipping and a nominal amount to get them.

I recently bought a FG503 at a hamfest that was in non working condition.
The serial number of this unit is in the high range.
The parts layout agrees with the low range parts layout.
The board does not appear to have been changed.
Would it be common to have this disagreement with serial numbers?
Another question is U241.
It is listed as 74S00 or 74S02 depending on serial number range.
Why would this part be changed?
The sockets are TI and I plan to change them to high quality sockets due to the problems reported with the TI sockets.
Any comments about the above before I dive into this unit?
Any words of wisdom?
Thanks
Glenn

Hi Kevin,
I would highly recommend that you try Craigslist for Scope carts. They come up fairly regularly and if you have an account with them you can set up alerts. Here is one (though it's not one of your desired models):

Re: RM564B non-working fan
It's interesting that the RM564B HAS a fan. My 564B doesn't have a fan, and a check of the 564 manual doesn't show a fan, even though it's full of hollow state heat sources. I guess I should keep in mind that rack mounted devices could not expect the open air ventilation that bench/cart mount scopes could expect. I wonder if Tek automatically added a fan to every rack mount device that had a power dissipation over some threshold.
Is your Rotron fan a 115 VAC fan? If so, It should be easy to find a replacement.
