Re: Tektronix 2230
Hi satbeginner Thanks for the response I saw that document. But I do not have a suitable power supply right now. I will try that later when I get a suitable power supply. Tell me one thing how

Re: 585A: things to look out for?

Re: OT: Strobe lights - just a suggestion, no discussion needed
Hi Ed, I viewed the pictures in the album and I'd be interested in seeing more about this. The GR units are certainly cool but if I could make my own for a few dollars, that'd probably satisfy my

Re: Tek 576 Curve tracer XY out
Dennis, Could you use a pair of 7A22 Differential amps instead of the 7A13? Or a single 7A13 for X and single 7A22 for Y? I know for sure that I have a pair of working 7A22s or at least one 7A13 and

Re: (OT) repair tools: Autotransformers/variacs
That patent has expired, but in any case I doubt that anyone is manufacturing variable autotransformers with tracks prepared as described in that patent. Certainly ISE is not ISE devices are Variacs
