Help with an ailing 7D14
A while ago, I was querying here about a 7D15 freq counter that was on the fritz. It was a questionable cap and a bad solder joint and the good news is that has been repaired. (There was also some

Re: Grease for the VOLTS/DIV and the SEC/DIV Controls on TDS Series 310, 320, 340, 350, 382, 420, 430
It sound Like MG Chemicals #847 is the way to go. The smallest size is the 25ml for $27, I will probably never use it again and do not want to invest in it. Any other ideas?.

Re: Curve Tracer CRTs
The good news for this project is that the CRT's in the 57x curve tracers are quite slow by tech standards. The cross over from the 5110 is only a 10 Mhz scope and it is an exact match tube. For the

Oh, that I did that many years ago from a project in (was it radio-electronics?? electronics world?? Not sure that it was popular electronics. That's easy, very easy. tap off the horizontal sync.?

I mean adapting yokes designed for raster, which have very different horizontal and vertical design frequencies. --Toby

Re: Curve Tracer CRTs
Curious.? Unless you need a very different X rate, why rewind the yoke? Harvey

Re: Curve Tracer CRTs
I think that's what Roy meant with 'drive with current instead of voltage'. Rewinding one half of the yoke is necessary anyway, from what I have gathered reading/watching these conversions. --T

Re: Curve Tracer CRTs
That's not how you do it.? What you do is read the current through the deflection coil, compare it to your waveform, and then the difference drives the deflection amplifier.? One classic way yields

Re: Curve Tracer CRTs
There was a board called the VectorVGA that converted XYZ inputs to an VGA display (15 pin D connector output). It had color RGB inputs also so it could be used to replace color vector games (Atari

Re: Curve Tracer CRTs
Yes, they exist, and one mass production use was arcade games. People still modify magnetic tubes for X/Y work (for example the 9" mono displays from some computers) because they're relatively

The Early Television Museum in Hilliard Ohio is likely the last repository of equipment and knowledge to rebuild TV jugs. However, the main problem is obtaining new gun assemblys. There have been

Re: Curve Tracer CRTs
Hi Jeff: Well... you'd be trying to drive an inductor (the deflection field coil, in the CRT yoke.)... and in this case Lenz is no friend to you. I believe I have seen a vector display with magnetic

Re: Looking for fasteners in EU
There are two different kinds of tighten/release mechanisms on collet lathes. The more common kind requires you to stop the lathe and then turn a handwheel on the left end of the hollow drawbar by

There was someone here who was restoring television CRTs. When the electron-gun assemblies became unavailable, he stopped doing it. (It's one thing taking the neck of and re-coating the phosphor: It's

Re: 577 D2 Display Issues
The shimmering I described was called "double traces" and a fix was described here: /g/TekScopes/topic/77914568#175831 by Jack2015, where adjusting the value of R318 eliminates it.

hi Howard, Good find, appreciated ! Looking forward to your additional finds. What an interesting problem to be solved ! I just came across a 1986 patent, issued in 2005 that might be conceptually

Re: Curve Tracer CRTs
On that board, you really want to check the prices at Mouser, or Digikey, or see if you can buy from ST directly. The board uses a DSI driven display, but it's not really designed to drive another
