Re: 577 D1 function won't turn off
Hi Dave, Was the replacement CRT a new CRT? If not new how do you know it was any good in the first place? Dennis Tillman W7PF <SNIP>

Re: 577 D1 function won't turn off
Dave, Yes, I believe that this is exactly what you are experiencing. According to the Service manual, replacing the CRT will require the Storage circuit to be adjusted to match the characteristics

Re: 577 D1 function won't turn off
I have a 577 D1 that came with the original but weak CRT installed and a replacement CRT in a box. Storage mode on the original weak CRT worked well, but the primary trace was almost too dim to see.

Re: 577 D1 function won't turn off
Hi DW, I have a 577 D1 which has similar behavior but not as bad as you described. There is an adjustment procedure in the service manual that will, in theory, bring the storage back into proper

Re: 577 D1 function won't turn off
I would certainly check that the store/non store switch is actually latching and unlatching properly. This may seem obvious, however, I have seen many of these type of switches that were gummed up

577 D1 function won't turn off
This 577 is a D1 version, the ability to temporary hold display information in a analog format which is actually quite neat. This feature appears to be fully function when I want to use it, the

Re: TDS 5104 back up battery
Matti, The only battery I know of in the TDS-5104 is the cmos back on the PC mother board. If you don't have the maintenance manuals from the TEK website get them. There's 1 screw on the top cover

Re: Changing Color
groups.io doesn't currently provide a way to change that, so you would have to use User CSS. Or maybe it would be worth asking groups.io to provide a high contrast setting.

Re: Tek 2467B Erratic Intensity controls
First, if the DAC output (J119,pin 13) moves smoothly when you turn the delta control, from about -1.25V to +1.25V, the DAC is likely ok. Second, if the -1.25V, and +1.36V, which can be found on most

Re: 7613 on Ebay
That 7613 seems quite overpriced to me. If all you want is to use a 7A22, and you already have a working scope, forget the 7000 series and buy an AM502 plugin and a TM500 mainframe. It will be

Re: need an engineers opinion
I believe that you are asking about ESR, but absent a quote from the post you are responding to, I can't be sure. If you are asking about ESR, of course it applies to all capacitors. Generally, all

Re: 7613 on Ebay
Hi Bruce, I agree with Trevor. Unless you need storage the 7603 is a better choice for many reasons: * It is the most common mainframe sold so there are lots of them available which means their price

Re: 5103N Comments, advice
Hi Hal and Raymond, Tantalum specifications clearly indicated that surge currents had to be avoided. It is rare in my experience that this was taken into account by engineers. Tek did observe this
