Re: Pacific Measurements or Wavetek 1038 System
Hello Walter, I removed all pushbutton switches from the frontpanel board. I measured them and all are in an open state. I expected some to be stuck in the closed state, which would explain the not

Re: Tek485 - a quick question on disabling/bypassing power supply protection
Another approach that has served me well with this type of "ticking" power supply is to let it tick and use a storage scope to capture what's happening "during the tick" for evaluation. Sometimes you

Re: Pacific Measurements or Wavetek 1038 System
Hi, Wiltron also made a Scalar Network Analyzer (Model 640) and they used the entire Tek 5000 series mainframe for it. It looks like they used plugin chassis parts from Tek and put their own

Re: CRT Hood for 7000 series 'scopes?
Hi Sean, I stand corrected. Tek did make a simple viewing hood . The 016-0260-00 was a simple 3 sided folding viewing hood for the 577, 5000 series, and the 7000 series. I'm looking at a picture of

Great timing Walter. I replied to Hans off list and even mentioned you had commented regarding the switches. I was wondering also if Gigatronics had inherited Wavetek since I read somewhere else

Re: CRT Hood for 7000 series 'scopes?
That is probably the 016-0053-00 round hood for 5" round CRT scopes. There is a three sided folding one 016-0260-00, and a full light shield that you put your face against 016-0154-00 But you can look

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.
