Re: 7000 test/cal module(s) and backplane breakout board.
You are right about Q1-4, I was in a rush, will fix it tomorrow. I can test things with a simple current mirror, but I usually resort to a Wilson if I am not using matched parts. Just habit, perhaps a

Re: 7000 test/cal module(s) and backplane breakout board.
Looks about right, except the PNPs appear upside down. If you're going with emitter ballast resistors in the mirror, then you probably don't need transistor matching or the Wilson configuration, and

I agree Harvey and Silicon Valley is close to Palo Alto/ Sunnyvale/ Mountain View area. oops back to the original thread. (I have a 575 just obtained that is going to need work the only one upon quick

Silicone diode for reference: https://forums.arcade-museum.com/attachments/breakout_flyback_rtv_repair-jpg.405006/ The picture doesn't show it, but I added plenty of RTV silicone to the diode too

Ha! Oh dear... I wrote that on my phone so perhaps I can blame autocorrect.... either way it's a good case for proof reading one's work. Yes I'd imagine silicone valley is in a different part of

Re: Recreating an old board for the 7854
I haven't started using Kicad yet, however, I do use Eagle. I'd do the following in Eagle, which you may find reasonable to do in Kicad. Set the grid to the connector spacing, generally 0.156 or 0.125

Awesome that would be great. I am kind of out of my depth on this one. The connectors on the board are Large connector in the front of the scope - AMP 3-530662-0-8301 Small connector towards the back

Re: 7000 test/cal module(s) and backplane breakout board.
Simple mistake on the prototype wiring was the cause of the poor TS pulse detection previously reported. Here is what it should look like:

Re: Tek Scopes found in old picture book
You might be talking about the loose tube in a box at the bottom of the picture. I mean a rack mounted unit between the two PCs. There are two scopes and a third thing, in the rack, that also looks

Re: 5642 rectifier tubes in a Tek 535: Replace or swap for silicone?
Dom, Diodes are made from many materials, but silicone is not one of them. a note of correctness: Silicone is a polymer used to make things slippery, as in a lubricant. Some adhesives are also made of

Re: Tek Scopes found in old picture book
If you could check your book I would be interested to know if that picture is actually in it - the copy of it on archive.org does NOT have that picture in it! I suspect there were multiple printings

Re: 7000 test/cal module(s) and backplane breakout board.
I think you'll need at least two TS detectors (like maybe the first and last), so you can figure out the actual running frequency and interpolate the rest of the slots. In my readout exerciser, it is

I'll try and get a schematic into the computer tonight and show you what I am thinking of. I wasn't talking about changing the edges of the TS pulses, just my circuit's response to those intentionally

Re: 7000 test/cal module(s) and backplane breakout board.
Looking at the waveform picture, I see that you're looking at speeding up the response of the TS detector, which is OK. I think I misunderstood that you were considering speeding up the actual TS
