Re: DM502 with problems
Colin, Some of the TM500 plugins had notoriously unreliable IC sockets. I would certainly remove the socketed ICs, clean pins and see if anything improves. Several people have commented that the

DM502 with problems
I have a DM502 which isn't working correctly. I have checked the power supply voltages at +5V, and +/- 12V and they are within spec. I have also adjusted the clock frequency to 20.48 kHz and that is

MCM68766 and MCM68764
Looking at the datasheets these devices appear the be the same, am I missing something, or was it just a case of the MCM68766 superseding the MCM68764? Thanks David

Success with Tek 602 XY's
Hi group Just a success story with a very minor repair and hint to others later: Today fixed two 602's with SAME fault (no spot, no HV) - fuse F217 had blown. Reason for blown fuse was C216 and/or

Showed up on the local Craigslist. I'm not the seller. I'd take it myself but I already have too many old Tek scopes.

Re: Slight;y OT CRT question
the (F) suffix for CRTs always indicates a Flat Face. a 5UP1 has a spherical face, but a 5UP1(F) is flat (these tubes only come from Japan, the US makers did not offer this variation). I have never

Re: 7854 POST fail, stuck at Step 2
The behaviour is decidedly odd, when it does POST correctly, the digital section works for a time then crashes so none of the mode controls work and the OSD disappears. Whilst researching, I found

Re: 7854 ROM replacement issues
It does appear not to be the ROMs after all, they all read and verify correctly for rthe -01 revision.

Re: Slight;y OT CRT question
Thanks Michael, Albert. Michael, the data sheets for this tube do indicate that there are different phosphor options available for different writing speeds so I think that the speed is defined by the

Re: Slight;y OT CRT question
At the CRT page Sphere often mentions flat face for 5xxx(F) tubes. In one case, 5UP1(F), the description explicitly states "Electrostatic CRT with flat face (F)". Albert

Re: SC502 Old Enough to Smoke?
Please don't use a Philips screwdriver on any Tektronix equipment - they are all Pozidriv head screws. There's a massive difference: the geometry of the heads and a Philips screwdriver will cam out

Re: SC502 Old Enough to Smoke?
I was hoping I'd be able to remove the Main board without removing the CRT, but the only destructions start with "CRT Replacement" My efforts are currently thwarted by the rear screw holding the

Re: Slight;y OT CRT question
I think that I read somewhere that this indicates the write speed of the phosphor. S for slow and F for fast. This may not be accurate. -- Michael Lynch Dardanelle, Arkansas

Re: TLA711 Benchtop controller schematic needed
Thanks, Egge. It's been over 3 years since I messed with the benchtop controller, so I don't recall the P/N I used to replace the original module. I'm not a fan of Dallas Semiconductor or Maxim

Re: Tek 475A transformer replacement
If you don't have any spare antennas, and the neighbors' cars don't have any either, then a good hobby shop has brass and aluminum stock, perhaps steel as well, of various fractional inch
