I had dismissed the notion that this was picture of a vacuum tube computer when I first saw the image, partly because of the description of the contents of the book ("How the Microchip is Changing Our

Re: TM5xx extenders
I have now examined several 7000-series plug-ins as well, and they do not appear to be beveled either, nor do they show obvious signed of being "rolled". I'm not saying that this was not done, just

Re: 5642 rectifier tubes in a Tek 535: Replace or swap for silicone?
With the price of NIB 5642's going for around $5 on that auction site, why bother with Solid State devices ? 73, Dick, W1KSZ ________________________________ Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2021 10:00 AM

Oh, it's off to the right.? Had to scroll over there.? Yep, it looks just like an SS-5706.? (Now, where is that face-palm emoji when I need it?)? ? ? ? ?JimSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy

Re: Tek Scopes found in old picture book
Well, the SS-5706A I saw online looked like one of my old Iwatsus on steroids! I didn't catch anything like that in Carsten's photo, but then I'm viewing it on a tiny smartphone screen.? Oh well.Sent

Did you look online at any pics of the SS-5706? Looks like a pretty close match to me. -- Prof. Thomas H. Lee Allen Ctr., Rm. 205 350 Jane Stanford Way Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305-4070

Re: Tek Scopes found in old picture book
Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything that looks like any of the Iwatsu scopes I'm familiar with.? I used to have 3 of them; can't remember model numbers, but they did have 60, 100, and 250 MHz bandwidths.?

I bought a reel of 5000 - Vishay HER105-T High Efficiency 400V 1A DO41 Diodes, a couple years ago for under $23.

Re: 7000 test/cal module(s) and backplane breakout board.
I see that, thanks - I'm going to take a look at the schmitt trigger input circuitry with diode clamps you use and experiment some. Need to look at the trade-offs between the two approaches, I always

Re: 5642 rectifier tubes in a Tek 535: Replace or swap for silicone?
A series string of UF4007s with a 10kV breakdown voltage would have of the order of 1pF capacitance.? The problem with 1N4007s is with their slow reverse recovery (hence the UF4007 recommendation).

OK, I managed to scan my old readout exerciser schematic, posted here: /g/TekScopes/album?id=266548 Now I'm remembering some details. I had to do some tricks to skip certain parts of

Re: Tek Scopes found in old picture book
Offhand, I'd say that it is an Iwatsu, maybe an SS-5706. Tom -- Prof. Thomas H. Lee Allen Ctr., Rm. 205 350 Jane Stanford Way Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305-4070 http://www-smirc.stanford.edu

Re: 5642 rectifier tubes in a Tek 535: Replace or swap for silicone?
The idea of replacing tube rectifiers in TVs and other CRT devices is an old one. One of the most important considerations is the capacitance of the reverse biased diode. The higher the current

Re: 5642 rectifier tubes in a Tek 535: Replace or swap for silicone?
Yep. 1N400x devices are very slow to turn off; they are charge sponges that rectify as a side effect. UF4007s would be a much better choice. As to equalizing networks (R and/or C), if the individual

Re: 5642 rectifier tubes in a Tek 535: Replace or swap for silicone?
It appears that the high voltage power supply runs at ~60kHz. I wouldn't trust a garden variety silicon diode like 1N400x to hack it. Fast recovery diodes might be OK but you might need to take

Re: 5642 rectifier tubes in a Tek 535: Replace or swap for silicone?
Absolutely! Silicon HV rectifiers beyond a kV or so are actually made of series strings of lower-voltage units. A clue is their much higher forward voltages (which makes them difficult to test with
