Hey, its perfectly OK to disagree with me, but in this case, you are also
disagreeing with Tektronix since it is in the Tek microfiche where I read
about the power supply problem. Yes, I suspect Tek probably assumes power
hungry plugins will be used along with the 7A16P. There probably will be no
overload with only two plugins installed in a 4 hole mainframe, for example.

I did not know about the front panel lockout since I have never tried to power
up my 7A16P in a 7K mainframe. Interesting . . .

... but the 7B92A SN B070000&up has no tunnel diodes anymore.

Hi,
Would the person that responded back to my message
concerning the communication options for the TEK 2230
please respond again. I can't seem to find your
message.
Thank you,
Vince

I hate to disagree with Stan, but my experience with 7A16Ps is that if you
install them in a non-programmable mainframe, they power up OK, but the
front panel is locked out. From looking at the schematic, it appears
possible to force them to local mode, but I haven't tried that yet.

I didn't see any way to reduce the +5V loading, but in my experience, that
is not an issue. (Maybe if you put 2 of them in one mainframe along with
some other +5V hungry plugins?)

BTW, the 7A16P is used with the 7612D as well as the 7912s.

Thanks all, for your replies to my question...

Kind regards,

Hi Bob,

There is some possible incompatibility using the 7A16P in a normal 7K
mainframe such as the 7704A. The 7A16P was specifically made to be used with
the 7912AD digitizer and is programmable (that's what the "P" on 7A16P
means). Anyway, I have read a note that says the additional circuitry for
implementing programmability in the 7A16P may overload one or more of the
7704A's power supplies causing some unpredictable results in all the other
circuits powered by them. You might try it with caution. You might get
lucky and not cause any permanent damage and it might even work for you.

There is probably a way to disable some of that extra circuitry in the 7A16P
without damaging it as a nonprogrammable amplifier and reducing the power
supply load to an acceptable level. I have not looked into that yet. Future
project . . .

As I recall, the reason Tek would not recommend a 7B53 as a timebase for a
7704 is that it will not sweep fast enough to take full advantage of the
7704's 200 MHz bandpass. Other than that, I believe it will work just fine.
An even simpler, and probably cheaper, timebase would be a 7B50 or 7B50A with
does not have the delayed sweep feature. You could even use a 7B51 that is
normally used with a 7B50 to provide delayed sweep but can be used as a simple
timebase without a 7B50. I only suggest the 7B50, 7B50A, and 7B51 because
they might be more available and cheaper than the 7B53/A alternatives. There
was also an earlier version of the 7B53 called the 7B52 which would work as
well . . .

I really need to get on with finishing my second book . . .

Hi all, :)

A couple of times recently there have been mentions of people who hold some
stocks of Tek parts for sale for replacements. (e.g. pots, transistors,
tubes etc).

After a recent rebuild (hopefully the last) of this computer, I have
unfortunately lost the message/s containing this information, and I may need
some parts for a friend's 454.

It seems that it might be a nice idea if there was a list of these people or
organisations, either posted semi-regularly to the list, or on a web site

Does this list have a "parent" website? Or is there a list of relevant

Can anyone help...?

Seconded - before I acquired 7B87, later -92As via a package deal: a
7B53 in my 7854 (400 MHz nom) scope worked fine. At fastest sweeps,
with a known ~700 pS risetime pulse - yes, you can see some combo of
delay-line (absent or mismatched?) aberrations on trace start; IIRC
maybe an almost double-pulse clearly "not happening".

Yes, that's what I was talking about... I know it's written up in one of
the manuals or catalogs, but I can't seem to locate it at the moment.
I guess I'm just picky :-) On the other hand, 7B8xs are pretty cheap.

(Still.. it's fun to see the readout say, "500 pSec" on the -92s -
and realize it's even true within 3-5% !!

Most of them will give a solid trigger on a 1GHz signal - a tribute to the
power of tunnel diodes.

needs to remember is: Stay away from <10 nS/DIV - it isn't 'sposed
to be linear down there.. Audio is almost DC. And as Dean observes,
the built-in dual timebase gets you delayed sweep w/o wasting a
compartment.

The pot/switch for the CAL/VAR volts on Ch1 of my 2230
is disfunctional and there is no detent.
Manual says 311-2218-00 Tek part number, but it
describes it as an Allen bradley 10K pot with a
DPST,etc.
Sounds off the shelf but can't be sure until I dive
into it. According to the manual it sounds like a
MAJOR job. Does anyone really no if is a standard POT?

Help appreciated

I have a 7704A mainframe that is in need of repair...

Also I am in need of a horizontal sweep module.

For mostly audio frequencies a 7B53(A) would be the right choice for
the time base plug in.

The 7B53/7B53A is not recommended for use in the 7704/7704A. I don't
remember why, but I think it was a good reason. The original poster needs
to find a 7B70+7B71, 7B80+7B85, or 7B92/7B92A.

Good Evening

I have a 7704A mainframe that is in need of repair. I turned it on
this morning after not having been powered up for about 2 years.

The

trace was moving around erratically. Then I heard a sizzling sound
(never a good sound) and immediately turned it off but not before a
whisp of smoke emerged from the bottom of the scope.

I live in the Atlanta metro area and would like to find a company or
individual who is able to repair it.

Also I am in need of a horizontal sweep module. I'm not sure what
model I am looking for. This scope will be primarily used for audio
frequency applications. Any hints or suggestions would be very
helpful.

The modules I have are 2 7A26 and 1 7A16P that is also in need of
repair.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Often the Tantals for Supply Decoupling having a short.
The Chokes which are located before them then usualy smoke.
(at least in the last week i have repaired a 7A26 with such a failure)

For mostly audio frequencies a 7B53(A) would be the right choice for

Bill, if you don't mind knobs that aren't perfect, I have enough used
ones to set up. They may be cracked, have a soldering iron ding,
have some paint rubbed off, but they're serviceable. When I was on
the bench at Tek, we were always replacing knobs for cosmetic reasons
and I never threw the old ones away.
