Grease for the VOLTS/DIV and the SEC/DIV Controls on TDS Series 310, 320, 340, 350, 382, 420, 430
I am cleaning up the Front Control PCB (A4 Front Panel Board) on a TAS465.
TDS Series 310, 320, 340, 350, 382, 420, 430 use the same type of PCB Printed Control. I believe all of TEK Scopes during the 90's era used the same design. The Controls are a Simple Wiper that makes contact with carbon element pads on the PCB. Tek had some sort of original Black grease to lube the rotation of the Wipers. What type of grease should I apply to the Carbon Element Pads to Lube the Wipers? I have the following: GC Electronics Conductive Grease Silicon Grease (Food Grade) CRC Bulb & Connector Di-Electric Grease CRC 2-26 Multi-Purpose Precision Lubricant Thank you! Bru |

Re: FS: instruction manual for Nelson-Ross spectrum analyzer plug-ins

Re: FS: instruction manual for Nelson-Ross spectrum analyzer plug-ins
Interesting!Many, many years ago I picked up two different versions of those plug ins. Being an audio engineer.?? But I moved the Tek mainframe along before ever trying them out.They are a bit dirty now but if anyone would like the two for shipping cost and a couple bucks for cats let me know.?? I will dig them out and find out the model numbers.Thanks,Bill

Missing Guitar Player Magazine, November 2019.
I am sorry that this is rather off-topic, but I have tried almost everywhere else with no luck at all. I suppose that since the time was at the beginning of the pandemic, I shouldn't be surprised, but despite a subscription, I have no copy of Guitar Player of November 2019. This copy should have a picture of Warren Haynes on the front. On the occasion when some kind soul might just have a copy that they don't want at a reasonable price, bearing in mind that I live in London, UK, I would be interested. TIA.

Re: attach a file
Many here use an email interface to read messages and some have slow download speeds. Having to download attachments would be undesirable. Your best bet is to upload the image, as Jeff said, and view it to get its address and copy that address (URL) into your message text. That way people can click on it for viewing without being forced to. You don't even need to do the upload if you already have it accesible to the web, just use that address.
I think it is possible to add an image inline very easily, if you know rudimentary html, but that would circumvent the apparent attachments enabled/disabled setting for the group and really make a lot of email users unhappy. I don't dare even test it to see if it would be post-processed out. <emoji here...also undesirable> Just a link to a pic is a very good compromise. |

The 576 CRT (154-0563-00, or -01, or -05) is unique to that instrument.

Re: TM500 tester switch - Attn. Jared Cabot.
The oddity is that the serial number printed on the Grayhill switch is 71BDF30-02-2-AJN just as yours, so why didn't Digi-key include the extra parts, or did I manage to lose them? (I don't think so).

I have now bought the correct stop pins and sticker from Digi-Key which were just a few pennies, though the postage was a bit on the expensive side. I used to have a message that suggested that Digi-Key had an excellent customer service, but (1) I couldn't be bothered with fiddling about with costs when I could get the parts I needed even if they cost me a bit and (2) I couldn't find the message referring to Digi-Key customer service anyway and I live in London, England so it would have cost someone the shipping costs.

Tektronix 576 CRT replacement
Hi group,
I bought a Tektronix 576 curve tracer a few years ago in the US and it was damaged during shipment to Europe. The CRT got a hit and was shattered to pieces. Which CRT is a suitable electrical - and if possible mechanical- replacement if I ignore that the original CRT has 10 vertical divisions? Someone told me, a CRT out of a 5103 scope would be a good fit. What do you think? Best regards Jan |

Instruments edge contact DIP sockets that proved unreliable and were later replaced. If re-seating any of the IC's makes a difference, it might be time to swap the sockets in your 577. Dave Casey On Fri, Oct 29, 2021 at 8:25 PM <gmilliorn@...> wrote:
