Re: 7904 pre-260000 PSU crackling
Hello, I had a similar crackling and hissing problem with my 7904 years ago. It turned out to be the voltage multiplier U1615, internal arcing. The only visible indication of something being wrong was

Re: 7904 pre-260000 PSU crackling
Thanks for the reply Jon,
The nick on the HV cable is about half way along from the dog hole to the connector, visible on the third image.
If I don't need to mess with the transformer I won't, it's

Re: Faulty 2465B
Merci Jean-Paul
Probing the TGA signal from pin 18 of U500, the triggering waveform there is as I see it on the screen i.e. intermittent. So it looks like U500 or circuitry before it in the trigger

Re: Faulty 2465B
Keith bravo for your work on NV Ram, beware of Chinese knock-off and old date code parts.
Use machine pin socket
Full cal is needed after RAM replacement
See service manual and proper test

Re: Faulty 2465B
Hello Keith,
I also have trigger problems with my 2465B. The SRAM Dallas has already been replaced and refilled because of the old Li battery. Because the Scope also had (and still has) the error

Re: 7904 pre-260000 PSU crackling
Hi all,
I had some time so dug into the PSU a bit, swapped ot the last tantalum in there, and upgraded the aluminium 'lytics as per revisions list in the manual. The big storage caps I ran up to 195V

Re: Faulty 2465B
So I desoldered the DS1225 nvram carefully and fitted a 28 pin DIL socket.
Took the nvram and just to see if there was still any life in it I programmed it using a TL866ii programmer, using a .bin

Re: Chasing an analogue video signal - help
Very useful. Let me have a rummage and see if I can find any of the 3 units mentioned.
I agree the LM1881 ads nothing here, indeed already tried it

Re: Chasing an analogue video signal - help
The original posting refers to the signal as RGBHV. All five components are already separated. As much as I like the LM1881, there is no need for it (i.e. sync separator) in this application.

Re: Tek 7704 scope cover
Evan,
Thanks. I have never seen a 7704 so I don't know if a 7704 cover would fit
on a 78xx or 79xx 'scope. I imagine that the only characteristics that
matter would be the outside dimensions of the

Re: Tek 7704 scope cover
Hi Dave,
The 79xx scopes have different geometry on the front panel. The
display is lower down (smart), the power switch is in a slightly less
obvious place, I think the controls might be taller,

Here is the data sheet for the LM1881.

Re: Faulty 2465B
Ah sorry Victor, when I wrote that I had not noticed the SM caps on A5.
They do look OK - no leakage - and measure OK in circuit as far as I can tell. But they probably should be replaced.

Look at the data sheet for the LM1881. With only a little care you can use it on a bread-board.

Re: Faulty 2465B
Thanks Jon, I have a DS1225 on order from Mouser. When you say 'use EEPROM programming to load default CAL' what do you mean - is there some default binary for the NVRAM?
