Re: A question from the unwashed relative to: I built a TM500 mainframe tester, and updated the design. Someone might find this useful?
A few things are missing from the descriptions. 1. There was a blank module available2. The modules could be user keyed for certain slots3. They could be interconnected unseen in the rear.4. There

Re: SC-502 transistor
FAN to you, too, Giovanni! I agree with Thomas that something rather generic, like the TIP31C that he mentioned, would probably work just fine. Even though it's an obsolete transistor, it still seems

If you might indulge a few inquiries... Did incorrect phasing damage the FG504? Is that something you did to the TM504?... or was it miswired at the factory... or during a "repair, someone else?" Do

Re: Grid Bias Adjustment on 475A
Chuck, Thanks for that as I did not feel qualified to make such a statement, based on my very limited knowledge of the subject. Appreciate that you have confirmed that I am not totally without a clue.

That and perhaps what he asserts is nonsense? The grid is most assuredly biased relative to the cathode on this, and probably any, CRT. -Chuck Harris Michael W. Lynch via groups.io wrote:

Re: Grid Bias Adjustment on 475A
David, This may be the source of confusion for those of us not as well versed in these issues. Regardless of your fine technical explanation, TEKTRONIX still calls R1375 "GRID BIAS" on the schematics.

I also would be interested in a set of boards if they aren't too pricey. A source of the mechanical parts is plug-ins for the 5000 series scopes e.g. 5103, 5440, which use exactly the same form factor

Re: Grid Bias Adjustment on 475A
Jeff, Can you measure the voltage drop across the diode? That is partially how I discovered the "bad" VR1374 on my 475. You should measure 82V across the diode. Here is my conversation with Chuck
