Re: TDS5xx Recap was TDS5xx upgrades/mods
Got the scope, and upon inspection it does in fact need a recap. Fortunately, I don¡¯t see much carnage. I know for the 24x5 series there is much debate on what series Nichicon or Panasonic caps to

H?kan, Do you have scans of the Wizards Workshop articles. They sound like an incredibly useful reference. Dave

Re: Looking for Rare Trace Rot/Trace Sep Pot for 556
Does either pot work ? I suspect the separation might be one of their fancy play pots, it moves one pot so much and then the other after like 7 degrees or so of rotation. The trace rotation can

Re: Transistor Full Documentary
Sorry, I only scanned it because I can't sit through something that long. I mean not only mentally, but physically. But, the transistor is one thing that the US does get credit for, period. That and

Re: 7854 readout does not conform to specification? (7L5 problem)
This problem was addressed In a WW (Wizards Workshop) article from 2-85 which said it was fixed by Mod 50646. It is only a change of one resistor value in the 7L5: Change R2340 on the Vertical Board

Parting out 465 (not B) and a 464
You may have read my previous thread on attempting to repair these, but that is not to be. I've decided to part these out. Probably too heavy/expensive to ship complete (for what you want to pay for

Hi Everybody, This one is for 7000 series readout experts, hope you're out there somewhere. I have a properly working late model 7854 that I'd like to use with my 7L5 (early serial with old digital

Re: Tek 465 no display
Yep Albert, Indeed, it was your post I was referring to... I wasn't sure though, if there was still a misunderstanding that the +55V was at fault. I see now what you mean... and indeed, the shorted

Re: What are these Tek parts for?
wow.. awesome . .thanks for providing that. Yes, would love some photos and do you know where I can go to get those parts? Or, am I really just subject to digging around the aftermarket?

Re: What are these Tek parts for?
I have a 7623A with option #8 (the front cover). The catch hooks on the scope itself also have a thicker metal stand-off under the hook. If you can't get the proper items, I can take some measurements

Re: TDS5xx upgrades/mods
Thanks for the info! About what I expected though. It seems like the letter scopes are much more popular, probably because of their hackability. I still think I got a good deal on this scope (Paid

Hi folks and thanks to all for the input, the video was really reassuring as the LED activity matched what I'm seeing. It also might tie in with the service guide description of what's going on in

Re: Tek 465 no display
Hello Russ, Glad to hear that the +15V PS woke up, and by consequence, the +5V and also, somewhat, the -8V (although this one is clearly on the lack). I have two comments... 1. I got confused by some
