Re: To Beeswax or not to Beeswax: that is the question.
G.E. is no longer into it... and Glyptol is now a brand (for at least a couple decades)... and like a famous de-oxidising snake oil (not really for snakes: either the plumbing kind... or the reptile

Re: 7603 horizontal performance
I guess that depends on what you call "work well". You just won't see (part of) the triggering edge but otherwise, the image is fine. Apart from it possibly being a nice exercise, I don't see the

Re: 7603 horizontal performance
The fastest sweep the 7603 is "specified for" is 5ns/div which is obtainable with a 7B53A set the highest sweep (.05us/div) with the x10 multiplier engaged. I'm amazed you find the 7B85 or 7B87 work

Re: Restoring CRT emission?
I found this online - a reprint of an article apparently from Antiqueradios.com on rejuvenating vacuum tubes. There is a fair bit of discussion on cathodes and their emitting

Re: How to troubleshoot a faulty 7B50 timebase
thank you. I can find a sweep at the base of the Q784 (output driver) and nothing after. I have correct voltages for the line voltages -15V and 50V Other voltages are as follows (with a time dev of

Re: Thanks for the 3L5 mod info, now, about testing 561/564 frames...
True, except that my 561A's and 564 do use a 6AS7G (which is identical to a 6080) for the +300v regulated supply and the +125 reg. The plates of the 6080 are +420 unregulated and +210 respectively,

Re: TDS544A with strange display #photo-notice
Here we go; first, I believe that it was my poor English and I wasn't properly understood when I tried to explain what I see and I apologize for that. Second, Siggi, you may be right about an issue

Re: Restoring CRT emission?
Hi Roy, This is an arguable subject, and by its nature, chock full of ill defined variables. I can only speak, with first hand experience, to the efficacy of "rejuvenation" in Tek CRT's

Re: Alert for 519 owners
I need the N50/T125 ones to finish my set of 519 accessories. Anyone want to split these with me if I buy them? I do not need two more T50/T125s. Sean

Re: Restoring CRT emission?
It wasn't recognized until the vacuum tube era had ended that cathodes are actually semiconductors, whose electrical properties are exquisitely sensitive to morphology and trace impurities, as your

Hi Bernd, As I said, anything that fits on the usual ferrite core, and uses the usual cardboard former for the winding can be wound with my machine. So, it's all the same to me. I will make up the

Re: Q122/222 Jfet J300 subs for 2215A scope ?
I have bought from them before and have had no problems except when they were out of stock and cancelled my order of some stuff. I don't think you will have any problems with the quality of the parts.
