Re: 475A : excessive jitter on delayed sweep
Problem fixed. I replaced that suspect capacitor with a 4.7uF, 100V electrolytic, and now the delay time after which the B sweep starts is rock stable...
Now I have a suspect, which maybe somebody

Re: 7B71 time base jittering at 50ns/div, but not other speeds.
With "not at other speeds" you mean not at faster speeds either? Use enough brightness to judge that, since the jitter may not be evenly spread.
Related to what I said before about trigger level: Do

I wonder if those stand-off bushes used to space pots off front panels

Re: 7B71 time base jittering at 50ns/div, but not other speeds.
No, this is a symptom I am asking for help with. The jitter is constant at all trigger levels on 50ns/div, but not other speeds.

Oh yes, it is absolutely normal. The slope should be much steeper for measuring pulse widths or slopes: Consider the fact that with your setup a minimal difference in trigger voltage means a

Re: Tektronix P6202 FET voltage probe tip problem
To me, that would make sense if the wire went through to a contact
inside the socket.
The sockets I have are sealed at the bottom.
If they did it that way, then it makes sense. Not su

I have been thinking of where the wire may have originated, I looked at my 6202A and realized it might be the "feed through" wire to the replaceable tip.
If that is the case then the (working

OK, thanks for explaining that the different starting positions are as designed. Please look at this trace though:

Hi ...,
I just sent you the TDS600B software. This may work for you. I am not aware of the availability of the TDS600C software.

I do the same thing for repairing old electronics in general. If it is a sealed pot, unseal it. I just carefully drill a hole like you do Richard.

Re: 7B71 time base Timing Switch
Hi John,
There's nothing wrong with your 7B71. If anything, I am surprised at the speed of unblanking that I see, especially at 100 ns/div. Unblanking is when the beam, which has been suppressed

The trace starts at a level corresponding to the trigger level as the trigger level knob is turned.

Re: Absurdly simple way to get contact cleaner into some Tek pots
My foolproof method is to drill
