Re: Tek485 - a quick question on disabling/bypassing power supply protection
Not that specific component failures on mine will address your issue, but about 17 years ago I replaced these shorted components. (Not all in the same incident) CR1534 killed beam C581 - 22uF killed

Re: CRT Hood for 7000 series 'scopes?
Yeah, that's the one shown in the old thread. I was thinking more along the lines of the hood shown on Mr. Carlson's 565 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3Jv2_pQ86o Does something

Re: Pacific Measurements or Wavetek 1038 System
1038-N10 Switches The switches on the N10 are a huge problem because the footprint and shaft do not match anything else. I was able to buy one box of replacement switches from Gigatronics (they

Re: Tek485 - a quick question on disabling/bypassing power supply protection
Thanks for the several cautions and suggestions. I did look for shorted caps as I had several tantalums go previously - but I replaced them all a couple of years ago and it had been running fine.

Re: Again a 7854 power supply beast to be repaired...
Hi Max, I checked that P83 can be left disconnected, like in many previous versions of power supplies. At the LV board there are resistors R76, R96 and R132 for this between the sense lines and the

Re: Tek485 - a quick question on disabling/bypassing power supply protection
Had similar problems years ago and the problem was those little tants going short. Rather hazy on the details now, but I remember how infuriating those power supply interlocking systems were. With

Re: CRT Hood for 7000 series 'scopes?
Listed in the 1970 catalogue (and probably others). USD 7.00 Apparently not only fits the 7000 series but also the 601, 602 and 528 Craig

Re: Tek485 - a quick question on disabling/bypassing power supply protection
Hi Lorenzo, don't disable the protection, it could damage your supply. Maybe you should disconnect the -5V regulator from its load and use a lab power-supply to provide the -5V to the loaad. Set the

Re: Tek485 - a quick question on disabling/bypassing power supply protection
If you really have a short circuit from -5V to ground (eg a failed tantalum capacitor) you don't need to power up the scope, it should be obvious with a resistance measurement. Schematic <17> shows

Re: CRT Hood for 7000 series 'scopes?
I have one of these. I got it off eBay and it seems no-one else was interested, as I got it for the starting price of 99 pence (UK). They seem to be very rare items and bears a part-number

Re: 7S12 with S-4 and S-53 troubleshooting
Hi Albert, You're probably right, I didn't analyze the feedback/offset circuit in fine detail. My conclusion about the offset was mostly based on what I observed while probing around the head. My 7S12

Re: 7L5 no video signal
Hi Ed, Did you try switching off digital storage? If there is a fault in it (and it's quite a complex circuit), it would interrupt the signal path. My unit was such a case (was working only with DS

CRT Hood for 7000 series 'scopes?
I found this old thread (/g/TekScopes/message/152935?p=,,,20,0,0,0::Created,,crt+hood+,20,2,0,28557610) that showed the "batman" style viewing hood. While I can see the utility of

Interesting bit of trivia - the Fairchild/Dumont 766 oscilloscope

O.K Albert, . I've found theDennis' documents you mentioned on how to build a complete dummy supply load for the 7104/7854 SMPS. I will buy the necessary resistors... :-/ BUT the document only
