does anyone know how i can get a hold a tek 2221 tek
service manual.

thanks,
sid

The 1L20 manual is available for rental from W.J. Ford:

Hi Andrew,

You are right about the 1L20 being used in the 555. It can also be used in any
other 530/540/550 mainframe.

There are a lot of places to look for manuals if your request here does not
turn one up for you. You might try eBay. Another possibility is to take a
look at the list of manual suppliers on my web page at:

Thank you Dean. As soon as my manual arrives I will
look into this. I thought the fan was maybe a 12vdc
fan.

just put the motor on the dead spot and then pull
the driver chip and
reinstall it "backwards". It has a symmetrical
pinout, and if one of
the transistors in the driver chip is bad, you'll
have moved it to a
different spot in the switching sequence, the motor
will no longer be
on a dead spot with the reversed chip and will
probably start up when
power is applied. If the dead spot is still in the
same place, then
you can blame the motor.

And Rich, the 475 has had several reliability mods
over it's life,
and if you have a lower serial number, it may need
some of them.
The -8v P/S should have a new rectifier that's much
larger than the
others (i.e., it's NOT a 152-0488-00) and will be
laying down rather
than standing up in order to clear the case.

There's also a bluish 1% resistor (with the scope
upside-down as you
look on the main board with the front panel facing
you, it's along
the left edge maybe 2 or 3 inches from the front)
that overheats,
turns brownish and changes value, goofing up the
timebases. If
there's a black resistor in that spot, the mod has
already been
made. Otherwise, it needs replaced with a
higher-power resistor.

And the one mod that may concern you most is down
near the hole where
the horizontal deflection plate leads go down to the
jug. An
unmodified scope has a silver-colored, axial-lead,
tantalum, 1000?F
capacitor just to the front of the hole. If it's
there, get rid of
it, for it's underrated in voltage and will cause a
jittering
problem. A modified scope usually has a
physically-larger, black
aluminum electrolytic with a higher voltage rating
installed in it's
place.

Hi,

I am looking for a manual for a Tektronix 1L20 Spectrum Analyzer plug-in. I
believe it is used with the 555 Scope?

Andrew

I recently picked up a 475 that has intermittent horizontal jitter and
a noisy fan. Does anyone have any ideas about the jitter? The fan
looks like it could be a challenge to replace. I am shopping around
for a manual and I have had the case open to clean around the hv area,
though it was very clean inside. Thank you.

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 . . .

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...

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

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.
