Front cover for 2225 ?
I am looking for a front "clip-on" cover for a Tek2225 but they seem as rare as hens teeth - but it occurred to me that a cover from another scope in the 22xx range may fit. Can anyone suggest a

Re: 7623A Storage problem
I have had some further observations, not good, I'm afraid. I thought that I would leave the scope in "store" mode and see if any improvement happened. It didn't. When I powered down, left it a while

Re: 465B Horizontal Trace Issues - Help requested
Hi Gary, The very first thing you need to do is to measure the low voltage test points for DC level and ripple. They are marked on the board. These scopes usually have bad electrolytic capacitors and

Thanks Shailendra, Cleaning the pots will be the first thing i do when i open it up again. My go-to is Deoxit-5.

Re: 465B Horizontal Trace Issues - Help requested
I have faced a similar problem on my 465B. In my case, horizontal sweep used to shrink and expand at random. There was no linearity issue, as calibrator square wave looked uniform across the width of

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
A fairly robust way of buffering would use a fast PNP transistor and a fast NPN transistor with the bases connected together and the emitters connected together; PNP collector goes to the Vcc supply;

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
John, A bipolar or JFET buffer is quite feasible but the collector (drain) load resistor has to be quite a small value. With the semiconductor turned off the resistor has to charge up 4 gate input

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
Its probably a bit academic since I have ordered replacement parts, but funnily enough I was just wondering whether a transistor (or JFET) could be used to buffer the output and reduce stress on the

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
If you don't want to wait that long, you can temporarily add a NPN switching transistor as a simple pulse inverter. Input via 1k to the base, 10k between base and emitter, emitter to ground. Pull up

satbeginner, that is a good point, thank you, but yes, just to confirm 5V and GND were present at the oscillator and the 74S112 chips when I ran the tests. Just another update on the crystal saga (the

465B Horizontal Trace Issues - Help requested
I have a 465B/DM44 that is new to me that I think has issues. I am a relative newby to scopes, but this one does not seem right. There is "compression" of the horizontal trace, but it varies.

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
Roger, saw both of those. Decided to go for 74S112's as per original design. These were NOS and 10 pieces for a fiver and local to me. Interesting that your crystal holds its voltage with a 390¦¸ load

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
You may want to check the other variants of the "74" class, such as ACT, and ACHT.? Note that the T = TTL compatibility on the inputs, but TTL to CMOS (straight) does not.? 2.4 volts minimum output
