Re: A note on PC boards, double and single sided.
Brad, I have had horses for over 40 years and I don't remember going around and smelling warm horse s*hit, have stepped in some and shoveled a lot. Leon Robinson ?K5JLR

Re: SC-502 transistor
So I replaced Q855 with a BD239C and Q860 (it was blown) with a 2N2369 (it is the equivalent of the original 2N5769). But no oscillation in the HV supply. All the LVs seem OK. Any suggestion? By the

Re: 500 series Calibration
?Disclaimers: (a) I own 545, 535A, and 547 but not 545B; and (b) my only 545B manual is the scan from BAMA whose last change is for S/N 2290 and A and B TRIGGER schematic pages drawn by CMD dated 565.

Re: Tek 466 and a noob's lack of experience...
The 466 is a very nice, fast-storing analog storage 'scope. It's well worth restoring. Please make sure that brightness (once you get there) isn't too high. These CRT's are much more sensitive to

Re: Tek 7904 In Pulse Mode Related to C1511 on LV Regulator
The purpose of C1511 is to compensate for the stray capacitance that you have from Q1508B base to ground. This is why a typical value would be for example 10 to 47pF and not 0.1uF. G?ran

Re: 500 series Calibration
Hi Christopher, Fundamentally, I believe it is because there are a lot of other circuits controlled by the many poles of switch 10B (DC, AC, AC LF REJECT, AUTO). Check out Schematic #4 and #5's SW10B

Re: Intermittent power on problems with 2465B
I had an intermittent power switch on my 2465. I seem to remember this manifested roughly as OP describes, e.g. sometimes it would start, and sometimes it wouldn't. Got worse over time. I remember the

Re: Details on 015-0670-00 Feed-Through Adapter for AM503B?
Hi Jared, I was one of the designers of the AM503A, AM503B, AM5030 and newer TCPA300/400 products. Let me dig through my parts bins to see if I have one (I think I bought some from RAMs way back?) or
