Re: 2215A LVPS repair [Solved]
Hi Leo, Thanks for the progress report, It's good to see that your 2215A repairs so far have gone well! In studying your photos, it looks like you have one of those dreaded "Schaffner" brand AC inlet

Re: 453 trouble
Yes and no. The ground lead for the probe, when properly attached, minimizes ringing on the signal. The long lead from chassis to chassis will not. For low frequency signals (especially sine waves),

Re: 453 trouble
Yes, for best frequency response the ground lead should be short and the area between it and the probe minimal. You may see ringing and other strange stuff with your separate ground lead. Probably OK

Well, after a week on vacation, I replaced the old 18,000 uF, 16 V C821 with a new 22,000 uF, 25 V job that was the same diameter but less than half the length. I knew I was going to be out of town,

Re: Resurrecting a 475 - Request for Guidance
Hi John, It's good to hear that you are making progress on your 475. Those large capacitors for the low voltage supplies in the aluminum cans often fail internally and do not show any bulging or other

Re: 2465B Replace Aluminum Electrolytics with Tantalum
Tantalums are really good when used properly. 1) ESR / ripple current rating MUST not be exceeded, creates internal self heating that will lead to internal shorts. 2) Use them for high frequency, low

Re: 422 AC power socket
Agree with Jeff for 422 AC, just look around hardware and you might find one to fit without trimming. I trimmed a couple extension cords for mine.
