Re: Again a 7854 power supply beast to be repaired...
If the +130v supply is good, check the voltage on Q173's base. It should be 82vdc. If it is low check C171 for leakage. If C171 is OK, check CR177, CR173, and Q173 for leakage and shorts. Then check

Re: Again a 7854 power supply beast to be repaired...
OK Harvey, I did as you suggested, putting a V and H plugin. Here the results: 1) Trace is moveable in both horizontal and vertical position. So I put the trace off-screen to avoid CRT damage. 2)

Re: Again a 7854 power supply beast to be repaired...
Oh dear - the dreaded one pin out problem. We've all done that at some point. I've got away with it until I did it on my 577 curve tracer and took out most of the silicon. Fixing it is a "work in

Re: Again a 7854 power supply beast to be repaired...
O.K. I checked power rails and found a short on -15V, pin 7 of P82 connector (sense). NOTE: some other people was attempted to repair this poor 7854, so...they left behind a disaster with no success.

Silicone will rip with mechanical stress. Epoxy is much stronger. Regards, Mark W7MLG wrote:

Re: [OT] Best glue to repair lifted trace?
I really don't understand this insistence on 'high temperature' epoxy, as I said, re-seat the connector and if it has no retention itself then clamp it or put a bit of epoxy away from the solder area

Re: Calibration and full checkout needed - Tek 7000 series
With the 76xx series you do need a dual timebase plugin, since there are only 3 slots. You're mixing up the letters. For 7000 series, the nomenclature goes as follows (not all inclusive) and there's

Re: [OT] Best glue to repair lifted trace?
That's the plan, unfortunately I can't find an acceptable source of high temperature resistant, electrically insulating epoxy in Austria. The closest is in Germany, but that's still 10 euro shipping.

Aha! okay, it looks like the power pins are surface mount so there must be something designed to help add mechanical retention to the PCB as well? Either way looks like a real easy thing to fix as it

Re: [OT] Best glue to repair lifted trace?
Glue it back - remove all debris first. After that I would reinforce the connections with a wire - solder onto existing traces. I'm thinking that there is a problem with the connector - why would it
