Re: Batteries in 7S14 plug-in
The photovoltaic MOSFET approach would work of course. Current is more than enough but regulation is compulsary at >13 V open circuit. The sampler diodes in reverse bias hardly allow any current

Re: Tek 465B woes
That's what I figured. I will look in my junk box for an old power supply
or some other electronics gizmo for the 100 v cap. Assuming I find one in
the next day or so, I am now trying to determine the

Re: Batteries in 7S14 plug-in
Another possibility on the photovoltaic approach is Vishay's LH1262 photovoltaic MOSFET drivers. It has two photovoltaic generators in a DIP or SOIC package. You can get a minimum of 2.6uA each

Kevin,
Don't try a 470 uF 35V cap. unless you're looking forward to an early firecracker party a few seconds or minutes after switching on...

Re: Tek 465B woes
Kevin,
All PC Power supplies contain at least one large electrolytic cap. with several 100 Volts of working voltage and at least several 100's uF capacitance. That will do the job. It doesn't matter

Re: Tek 465B woes
Thanks for the offer Tom. I can, of course, go to mouser, but I'm not too
keen on paying shipping for such a small part, especially if I will have to
go back to that well for additional parts. I will

Re: Tek 465B woes
Eureka. I found it. Thanks Raymond. It must get confusing helping so many
people out with different scope problems. I did in fact find C4439 in the
service manual. Now I have to find a 100 v cap. I

Re: Batteries in 7S14 plug-in
The difference of 0.1 volts is insignificant as far as risk to the sampling gate
diodes but as Raymond points out, zinc-air batteries are a poor choice because
of their short life once activated.

Re: Batteries in 7S14 plug-in
I wouldn't consider zinc-air batteries a good choice for this purpose. Zinc-air batteries have a relatively long shelf life unopened but once opened (activated), they discharge rather quickly, even

Re: Tek 465B woes
Hi Kevin,
Raymond is absolutely correct, I did use the wrong schematic. The cap I suspect is bad is C-4439.
And I agree with his comment about what to try.
If you really can't find a cap easily, let

Batteries in 7S14 plug-in
I wish I could direct this question to the engineer who designed the

Re: Tek 465B woes
Hi Kevin,
1. I think that Tom made a mistake here. C1512 is the correct ref. for a 465. In a 465B, it's C4439.
In my 465B manual, it's at the top of the Power Supply schematics (page 12), right

Re: Tek 465B woes
What's the serial # of your scope?
Easiest way is to remove one leg from the circuit and make a direct measurement of it, both capacitance if your DMM does it, and also ohm it out. An ESR meter

I would leave the +55 V alone for the moment. A small deviation is unimportant and any adjustment might necessitate a recalibration of the 'scope.

AM503B battery dead - calibration lost?
Hi everyone.
My AM503B shows error 355 for some days now - NVRAM error.

Does this mean the calibration is
