Re: Introducing myself and my Tek 465 Project
That part is used in several early 7000-series time bases.plugins could be had for a few $$. Thanks for the info - i may even buy a whole timebase to part out in the worst case. You may want to check the circuits around the IC before replacing becauseit could be the victim of a failure, not the source. Yes, i will be sure the surrounding circuits are perfect before plugging in new. Thanks! |

The scorching hot IC is part number 155-0049-01 and called a 'sweep generator.'That part is used in several early 7000-series time bases. 7B50A and 7B53A are examples. A while ago, while still available, these plugins could be had for a few $$.

Re: 2465B U400 Availability?
I own a 2465 which exhibited non-linear vertical traces for Ch1 and Ch 2.Thanks for that info, Mac. I based my response on what I remember of the (all too frequent) messages of vertical compression, from the middle increasing towards the top of the screen, for channels 1 and 2 only, as seen on this forum. Did I miss your issue here? Raymond |
Re: a sick 576 (and it's owner) needs help
If I follow you correctly the 1,2,5 part gain changes but the decade function provided by changing the current sense resistor doesn't. That is switched by the b section of sw400 which is the wafer switch on the back of the cam switch.. Is that moving when you change vert sens?

Re: Introducing myself and my Tek 465 Project
A cheap USB oscilloscope will work to check ripple however so will a What sweep IC are you referring to?Thanks for the tip on ripple and testing with a voltmeter. I found that as an option after some digging later but didn't know if it would be accurate enough to make diagnosis. The scorching hot IC is part number 155-0049-01 and called a 'sweep generator.' Here's one source but it seems to be unavailable from there and out of stock on another site here: I believe it's U870 in the manual and someone with a similar issue mentioned it here: I've confirmed a dead -8 volts at the regulator so my next steps are to test and likely replace the rectifier.But it's hard to keep up my enthusiasm on careful part swapping if that IC is unobtanium. I'd be fine fixing the power supply and waiting out availability but disappointing when the part cross reference sheet has only 4 components that don't have a common replacement! Thanks for your help! I can tell after a half a day the brainpower in this group is great and even if I have to put this Tek project on hold I'm sure I'll get a working one soon. |
Re: 465B Focus Troubleshooting
I have a collection of scopes, about 1/2 are Tek. This last weekend was very wet and humid. I fired up one of my 'brand X' (100 MHz) scopes to work on a preamp and was surprised to see the focus was very blurred. Could not get it sharp. Turned it off, suspecting problems.

Went back out today and since the weather had turned warm and dry, the scope focus sharpened up nicely.... First time I've seen that. Scope has a plastic dust cover on it. FWIW ron N4UE -----Original Message-----

Re: 2465B U400 Availability?
I own a 2465 which exhibited non-linear vertical traces for Ch1 and Ch 2.? I traced the problem to failed -8 Volts from the LVPS.? In particular, 1101.? I recapped and all was well.? Still using the scope.

Re: 5440 low-voltage power supply
Gentlemen,
Thank you for the help ! I did some more signal tracing and found a poor/bad connection of the z-amp to the high voltage supply. I have attached two test reports -"horz-output-20us" and "horz-output-.1s." I think this output is correct. I may be generating more problems then I am fixing. After I fixed the z-amp output I did not get a trace, when the beam finder depressed there was a trace on the left to about the center, with a shorter trace above. (Originally, I had a centered trace covering about 1/3 of the screen, so something changed.) I had to take a break and powered down when I came back and powered up, I got no trace at all with the beam finder depressed. No smoke , no unusual sound , no visual I could find. The "Troubleshooting Your Oscilloscope" Asks to check the the HV oscillator, I have no idea as to how to check the HV oscillator. My test equipment can only handle 1000v. I did check the filament voltage and it was 6.3v. I am very reluctant to do much on the HV board. I do have an older HV board and CRT. I think I am playing a game of Whack'um. No what?

It (the grid bias) is still worth messing with. It is not difficult to set correctly if it is misadjusted. |

Disconnecting the vertical CRT leads will reveal if this is the case. The trace brightens up very quickly and no dips that I can see. It starts to widen just a little when turned all the way up ( I de-focused the trace and did that very quickly. Turning the intensity up high makes my skin crawl. ~shivers~ ) I'm not sure yet if I would try that. You say precharge resistor? In parallel with the HV capacitor? The only other gear on the bench is the leader scope and my Keithley DMM. Also I did power on the scope in a different room when I first got it. I Disconnected the vertical CRT leads and the trace curved a little but it showed no difference in thickness. The vertical pins on the CRT look a little crusty to my eye. I'm going to double check for noise on the LV connections to the CRT and then check the physical connections. |
Re: Dosemu to run TekMate, FAS and the like
Hey y'all,
so I'm starting to play around with this. It's trivial to expose IO ports at dosemu, and the NI-PCIIA card is documented to pieces < www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/320045.pdf>. There's even a whole section on how the cards are supposed to be acceptance tested, listing register writes and test reads, which should make it easy to test the virtual board implementation. The bus protocol is quite well described at < >, but what I'm having trouble with is wrapping my head around the internal state of the NEC uPd7210, how it relates to the bus state, and how it's used to actually communicate with other GPIB devices. It would be nice to have a sample of the beast to play with and compare to, but I haven't found any reasonable suppliers for it. Anyone?

TEK 1502
Clive Redfern
Hello TEK 1502 experts.
The slow ramp does not seem to function.With the logic boar connected?there is a slow trace on switch on, as though the print switch was pressed, which does not repeat/ fly-back.When the print switch is pressed, then a slow trace is initiated?- again without fly back.The default, slow ramp generated, trace is not available. ... only the more complicated, logic board generated, trace. With logic board disconnected and the print switch re-routed, as described in?my (August 1982) ?instruction manual, a slow trace is available only on switch on, it does not repeat when the switch is pressed. The instruction manual does not give detailed (scope type) data relative to the test points available on board A3, vert amp/ slow ramp - which is a pig to get at. The board does not have pluggable semi conductors. All voltages are correct.Everything else appears to function. So before I attempt major surgery, is there something I have missed that gives me a fix? Clive [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
Re: 2465B U400 Availability?
Cal labs are pretty thorough.? My advice for checking voltages is that a new U400 could fail if the circuit has severe problems.? I always check the circuit before installing a new part unless the part is plentiful and cheap.

I've only played around with it briefly, but I'm pretty sure both cursors move smoothly. Everything seems to be pointing to U400 but have not checked voltages yet. Previous owner had taken it to a cal lab and the paperwork came back from there stating U400 is bad. I don't know if a cal lab would have checked voltages, though. Will know more soon.
