Tek 2715 75 to 50 ohms conversion
Hi, I want to change my Tek 2715 75 ohms input to 50 ohms. From what I read in the service manual, its just the input connector that has a 25 ohms resistor, internals of the 2715 is all 50 ohms. Has

Tek TDS-3000 V3.41 Firmware
In preparing to update the firmware on my TDS3052 scope to V3.41, I downloaded the file from the Tektronix website and began transferring it to four 3-1/2-inch disks as instructed. The first two disks

Re: Tek 468 GPIB board
Thanks Harvey for your reply. Yes, the 468 does not support remote operation. However it does support a remote WF request from the GPIB controller. Replacing the CPU with a more modern microcontroller

Re: Tek 468 GPIB board
Some things to consider on this scope: 1) it is send only, IIRC, and was never designed for remote operation. 2) you set it up with the front panel controls, I don't think that any of the scope

Re: Tek 468 GPIB board
Hi, David. I'm mostly interested in the DIGITAL internals of the 468: how does the 8085 CPU accomplish its tasks. Making the GPIB work is part of that. As I mentioned, John (Twilight-Logic) created

No big deal, I just wanted to ensure the archive doesn¡¯t mislead the next guy. Once the OP has the multivibrator sorted out, there¡¯s a home-grown calibration technique that doesn¡¯t require the

Re: Type 130 L-C Meter
My manual scan covers serial numbers from the beginning to at least 10760. During that time, the 130 used a 6BH6 for V110, Guard Voltage Cathode Follower. It was always a 6BH6 and nothing else was

Re: RTM/TM 506 Fan replacement
Well, mine is actually a very old one... I bought it decades ago. Its much quiter because it doesn't run on nominal speed, the supply in the TM506 or TM5006 giving only 110V to the fan. The remaining

Re: Type 130 L-C Meter
Jerome, Are you sure the clamp tube should be a 6DJ8? I have a 130 (which I have converted to solid state) and the clamp tube is a 6BH6. Of course the 130 went through several iterations and your

Re: RTM/TM 506 Fan replacement
I have also replaced mine a few years ago with one (220v) I bought from my local electronics store. I can¡¯t tell you the make off the top of my head, but it¡¯s much, much quieter than the original

Re: RTM/TM 506 Fan replacement
I replaced the fan in my TM506 an TM5006 with 220volt Papst models. Mechanically identical, very quit. As to the airflow: as long as the temperature of the outgoing air is moderate I do not see any

Re: Type 130 L-C Meter
Hi Jerome, That's a nice unit and definitely worth fixing. V70 is a straightforward Schmitt trigger, and there's not a lot that can go wrong. Measure voltages on the tube pins. Measure resistances

Crap, pin 6 on the brain. Input of V70 is pin 9, output is 6.
