Re: SG503 question
Check that all socketed transistors are well seated. My 503 had a dropout that was corrected by pushing a transistor back into the socket. If I recall, the component in question was near the front of

Re: Tek Scopes found in old picture book
I think the modules in the racks look a bit too complex to be digital modules. Perhaps its not a digital computer but an analogue one? cheers Martin

Re: Tek Scopes found in old picture book
From Tim P (UK) Early computers, such as Colossus, EDVAC, EDSAC, Whirlwind etc. were built on open relay racks. I wonder if the photo shows a reconstruction, or 'working model' of an early machine.

Great find. Few pictures of these actually performing their job in a real environment. <davidpinsf@...> wrote:

Re: 5642 rectifier tubes in a Tek 535: Replace or swap for silicone?
Dom, The filament windings can be left on or taken off. Check the high voltage when they are replaced. Clean the high voltage area to remove dust, dirt, etc. to eliminate leakage paths, if you have

Re: 7000 test/cal module(s) and backplane breakout board.
Eric, if I understand correctly, the board you are making for the 7854 isn't a replacement for the 067-0587-xx boards, but something to do with the digital capabilities of the 7854, is that correct ?

Re: 7000 test/cal module(s) and backplane breakout board.
Andy, if you need lots of pictures of the cal fixtures let me know I have a -01 and -02 here in the lab. I am also in process for a test board for a 7854. I had a unit arrive today.... destroyed by

Glad it was something so simple and cheap to fix -- just a 555 instead of some left-handed unobtainium hydroxide. -- Cheers, Tom -- Prof. Thomas H. Lee Allen Ctr., Rm. 205 350 Jane Stanford Way

Re: 5642 rectifier tubes in a Tek 535: Replace or swap for silicone?
HI Mark, Thanks for your advice. I can see the one's you're talking about on fleabay- they're certainly a good price. I'll be replacing all five because I'd imagine the corrosion that ate through the

Re: 5642 rectifier tubes in a Tek 535: Replace or swap for silicone?
Hi Mike, That's terrific- certainly a lot cheaper than the diodes from Digikey. I hadn't seen that site before and it looks like they have some great stuff! I'll have a browse now and I'll let you

Re: DM502 with problems
Quick update to close the loop. I went through the components related to the NE555 timer and concluded that it was, indeed, a dead IC. I injected a 20.48 kHz signal at the output of the NE555 and the

7000 test/cal module(s) and backplane breakout board.
I have a 7904A, that I intend to keep in good working order. However, I've not seen many cal fixtures on the market and reckon the prices are only going to go in one direction for the near future. I
