Re: Yet another 465B restoration question
Since most of the replies are pointing to bad capacitors, I'll go back and double check the ripple, just to be sure. I didn't see in my notes where I recorded it, so I will do that. Given that the

Re: Yet another 465B restoration question
Ripple is within spec. Why did I replace the capacitors? 1. It's relatively simple and cheap to replace them 2. I've had capacitor issues in other equipment. The biggest offender being the Rifa caps

Re: Tektronix TDS3034B Boot Challenge - Help Needed
To Guy's point, a relatively simple test if you're set up for it would be to dump the flash a few times over the course of the warmup time and see if it always reads correctly. I can take a look at

Re: Method to measure HV
I finally thought to look and that "odd" resistor is a 1090M-ohm that's meant for an RCA WG-289 probe. I haven't done anything to check the resistance as nothing I have can do that. I might connect

Re: Tektronix TDS3034B Boot Challenge - Help Needed
Guy, Thanks for your insights Where I have been focused the last day is to try and understand why the CLKOUT stays at 25mhz both in the hung and running fine state. Actually its probably 24mhz due

Hi, I want to know the connections of the AC mains range selector switch of the 7904. This isn't the A model. I know the AC mains range selector switch is similar to the Tek 465. I don't have the

Re: Yet another 465B restoration question
It's low likely because of a ton of ripple. More load ---¡· more ripple.

Re: Yet another 465B restoration question
Don, You have bad condensers. That is the most likely problem. Being from '78, that is enough years to warrant replacing them. I have a B version I put new condensers in as well as increasing the

Re: Yet another 465B restoration question
Nice scope, that option is what I'd hoped for, but didn't get, when I found my 465B. Not useful anymore, with digital TV. The rest of the scope is a great classic Tek portable. First thing I'd

Re: Yet another 465B restoration question
Always good to check the voltages rails first which I see you did. But I would still be interested in figuring out why that 5V rail is so out of spec (should be 5 +-0.075V). Also, I would check the
