Re: TDS544A with strange display

In the 90's there were some issues with CRT's on color TDS's showing a blue band on the CRT about a third of the screen area in size and located in the upper region. It didn't look exactly like yours

Re: 3T77 tunnel diodes (again)
Rather than fiddle around with driver stages, I decided to try Albert's suggestion of driving the TD directly from the last hex inverter (+5 to anode of TD, cathode to trimpot to TTL output). Somewhat

Okay, I've done a little research on the Tek color shutter system, and it seems to involve not 3 colors, but actually 4 colors: Red, Green, Blue, and White. So the white regions are NOT being

Re: To Beeswax or not to Beeswax: that is the question.
My impression is that potting or coating compounds are ofte a mixture of bee's wax and rosin. Maybe of different waxes. To fill the voids it may be necessary to boil the transformer (or whatever) in

Unfortunately, I don't think you can gracefully remove the filter and really look at the CRT. Assuming that you have three color filters (the older TEK stuff used two), then what happens if you select

Hi all, I managed to shot one channel of my SC502 when repairing an old TV set. It seems the victim is a dual FET in the input differential amplifier with TEK part number 151-1031-00. To confirm its
