Re: Polish out scratches in blue filter
Rob
开云体育I have not responded until now. I do/have used toothpaste as well to finish (not gels but regular tooth paste) with good results. However, I have now started using the headlight de-oxide products from the auto part store. I don’t have a recommended brand as I have used a couple and both worked well. ? I did however see the comment that plastic polishes don’t work on the particular blue filter mentioned. That said, I have used the de-oxide for head lights on all colors for the 7000 series ones I work on with no issues for any colors and excellent results. ? Finally as a kid my mother used a product called Glass Wax. I have been looking for some as my thoughts are it would make a great finisher/sealer. ? I suppose that is my biggest reason for finally responding. After whatever method people use to remove scratches. Are any applying a sealer of any kind and if yes what are you using?

Re: 7B92A triggering to 1.05GHz

My message was related to my earlier question on this forum (original post) about the reasons for and consequences of replacing the tunnel diodes in earlier 7B92A's with these hybrids. It seems I found (part of) the answer myself. I was a bit surprised to see it! I haven't got a faster timebase but I think I have quite a good 7904+7A19 combination, since the combined -3dB bandwidth seems to be at least around 580MHz, and good flatness. I'll do more accurate testing soon with rise/fall-time measurements. I don't know Ernest. Sounds interesting, I'll go looking for him. Delft isn't far away from where I work and live.

Re: 7B92A with tunnel diodes vs. version without
I just recently acquired and repaired an SG503 that was suffering from
bad TI sockets. I do not have anything suitable to test triggering above its 250Mhz maximum frequency. Did your non-tunnel diode based 7B92A timebases have lower trigger sensitivity with the same setup?

WOW! I will have to try that myself and try it with a 7B10 which should be as good. Dennis Tillman PS: Do you know Ernest Lans in Delft? He has a big collection of Tek 7000 and a laboratory of other precision electronic instruments as well. -----Original Message-----

I would guess (and could appreciate) lower cost, higher reliability? with tunnel diodes or do they contain more traditional circuits and if so,I wonder whether the circuits in these hybrids still contain circuits are there any functional differences? i could imagine that the maximum signal that the unit will trigger on would be lower than the tunnel diode-equipped version.

You might want to check out the cleaning/polishing stuff used for aircraft canopies.

Re: Help with R7903 needed, some success...
Albert
Hi Keith,

Time to update the title of this thread? Nice success, but how do "you" manage to have a 'scope with so many problems! :=) Wavy readout is common. How pronounced depends on sweep frequency. You can minimize this (see cal proc somewhere) but don't expect miracles of that. Readout centering can be adjusted also. Your readout misses the decimal scaling, Time Slot TS-1. The -15V time slot pulse TS-1 should appear at interface contacts B33 of all bays, but the fault could be in a logic circuit further on. It's a good idea to read the readout theory first! Albert Good News! We now have a working CRT and R7903! |
Re: Help with R7903 needed, some success...
Wow. Good deal. I suspect I learned as much from you fixing your
oscilloscope as you did or at least enough to continue work on my functioning 7834. On Sun, 15 Jul 2012 16:57:31 -0000, "keithostertag" <keitho@...> wrote: Good News!

I'm going to need a source for some of the push-button switches on the front panel.Something similar may have happened to my 7854. The vertical gain in the CRT amplifier was screwed up and as it got worse, the readout was adjusted to compensate without fixing the actual problem. When that was no longer possible, I suspect it sat in storage for lack of will, ability, or funds to repair. I know even _less_ about logic circuits than I do analog circuits, so fixing this Readout problem will be very interesting. I am reading the manual...I would start by looking for a missing time slot pulse while paying particular attention to slot 1. Does the readout show the inverted and uncalibrated functions correctly? |
321A No swweep
Hi This is my first post.
I wish to thank every members for sharing their experiences. Recently i bought a very nice 321A , evolution of 321, the first battery operated Tek scope. Mister June 1971 on the TeK calendar: Very nice little scope with it's leather case, paper doc, one X100 probe. BUT …. no sweep exactly as described in these 2 posts: Q135 and Q145 locked good testing them with ohmmeter, and …. a curve tracer after snipped'em out. In spite of that, i replaced both of them with 2N2369,and the scope came back to live Without the last post of Julian i'm not sure i would have replaced them so quickly BR Pierre |

Good News! We now have a working CRT and R7903!
The Short story: After replacing one resistor the screen came alive. After some adjustments there are two items remaining with this project that I need help with: 1. The readouts only gives one numeral. For instance, .5uS, 5uS, and 50uS all display as 5uS. Similarly, .5V, 5mV, and 50mV all say 5mV. Same for all settings, and regardless which plugins I use. The 10X multiplier makes no difference in the Readout display, though it does make it a little "wavy", like a slight vibration. Also, the Readouts are positioned a little low on the screen, so that the lower ones are half-obscured off the bottom of CRT frame. 2.) I'm going to need a source for some of the push-button switches on the front panel. The longer story (for those interested): I was following Albert's suggestion to check the continuity around P1675 when I found pin 3 to TP1883 measured around 5Meg ohms. When I went to touch one side of R1880 in order to lift it, it literally fell apart into two clean pieces. No burn or stress marks of any kind- and nothing else on that board was found bad. After replacing R1880 the CRT came right up, and I went through both the PS cal as well as the z-axis cal. The are a few sections of the z-axis cal that I can't do (I guess) since I don't have a marker generator. (?) I want to say that after all these weeks of working on this project I was immensely happy and relieved to see that first trace appear! My guess is that this R7903 had been sitting unused (due to its broken condition) for many years before it got to me. Many caps needed to be replaced on several boards, mostly the PS. Of course I would not have been able to do this without your help and instruction, and I am grateful for your patience and perseverance. Really a good example of group effort! I know even _less_ about logic circuits than I do analog circuits, so fixing this Readout problem will be very interesting. I am reading the manual... Your thoughts on how to approach the Readout problem? Thanks, Keith Ostertag |
Re: Restoring 9A1 plugins: need a foto
开云体育hello Albert, this both resistors are 1,5k so it may be still the same then in the 3A1.

I found the 9A1 now in Stan's book and in the 1964 catalog. Being designed for the 506, the plugin has BW 23 MHz (as opposed to 10 MHz for 3A1).

Step #1: get the manual downloaded from the BAMA mirror site and check the power supplies.

It seems that you mixed up two ICs. At my B058082 PCB, U722 is a round case CA3130, while U842 is a DIL labeled 0067-02 (741 in another unit). Both are correctly marked at the PCB and both are correctly shown in the PCB layout pictures and in the parts list. Albert Put in an offer and got a good looking 7B80 TB from ePay. Seller said untested. Unusually for me it seemed to work fine too, but when doing a CAL check found sweep slightly out and front panel "Sweep Cal" having no effect. Downloaded manual (070-1959-00) shows a 741 op-amp buffering the sweep cal pot input to the time base with a variety of catching diodes and resistors twixt this control and pin 3 of the op amp. |
