Re: Keithley anyone?

I love Keithley's and repaired quite a bit of them, mostly DC/LF stuff.
Actually have 263 on bench too for some repairs. :)

FS: Tektronix SC502
I have an SC502 that I want to sell. I see an SC503 going for $500 on ebay, but as we all know, ebay really likes to inflate prices.
I don't see many of these SC502s being sold so I'm not sure of a

Re: Keithley anyone?
<Raises hand>
I do. I am working on a 263 at the moment. The best source for discussion I have found is the EEVBlog forum.

Re: 503 HV Transformer
To finish this thread the problem ended up being leakage from the CRT filament winding in the LV transformer.
Seems I didn't "hear" Alberts description of the problem until I got an email from

Re: 7904A trigger problem
Mark,
Check the four zeners on the trigger board. I found mine to be open. I used BZX85B9V1. The low value tantalums were high ESR. They were replaced with film types. Mine did not trigger unless a

Keithley anyone?
All my TM (usually) works very well. My ongoing projects are vintage Keithley. I have not found a Keithley forum. Do many here delve into the brown boxes?

Dennis Tillman Tek 575 Curve Tracer Adapter PCB?
Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way to get the PCB that Dennis Tillman used to provide for the Tek 575 Vacuum Tube Curve Tracer adapter referenced here - the one where you mod something like an

Re: 7904A trigger problem
I acquired a 7904A a week ago was working very well, but yesterday the B horizontal time base (7B92A) wouldn’t trigger at all, it works perfectly in the A slot. Any suggestion on where to start

My First Tantalum Event
I bought a[nother] 7704A that is dirty but shows promise as it's a later S/N and has Option 9. It had blown fuses and I traced the main 4A fuse to a shorted bridge rectifier. After finding a

Re: Tek 492 is way off in frequency
Thanks for the reply, Edward. The reference out is exactly -20 dBm at 100 MHz, so that's not it. At this point I doubt I'll pursue it much further, as I am using the ADALM Pluto/SATSAGEN combo to

Re: 503 HV Transformer
Chuck,
Sorry, please forget the first line in my last post! It seems I have to read everything twice or more times to make no mistakes like reading HV where LV is written.

I must be misunderstanding something? In your first post you wrote that all voltages produced by the LV transformer gradually drop after some minutes.
The 503 HV transformer is quite

Re: 503 HV Transformer
Albert,
Again it's not T601, the LV transformer or any of the voltages from that, that is the problem.
None of those voltages drop out.

Re: 503 HV Transformer
Chuck,
I had the same fault as in Joel his 515A in one of my 502As.
It seems you checked filament voltages delivered by T601 and concluded that these were good. But the CRT winding fault is not a

Re: 503 HV Transformer
Hi Chuck,
I have seen the same failure in my 515A, and the cause was a failure of the EHT transformer resonating capacitor which became leaky after a few minutes. In the 503, this capacitor is C620

Re: 503 HV Transformer
I've pretty much verified that the LV supply (T601) is good. When the T602 voltages drop the +500V output from T601 doubler
stays constant, as do the filament voltages.
