Re: CR Tubes for TEK 577?
They are wonderful scopes. Please consider making parts available to others from the ones you intend to scrap.

Re: Tektronix 7104 - RIFA explosion and replacement
Just to be clear, I'm talking about 'X2' or 'X class' 'safety, or suppression' capacitors as outlined in "IEC 60384-14" which subsumes "UL 94 V-0" AFAIK, all those class of capacitors have to satisfy

Re: Tektronix 7104 - RIFA explosion and replacement
Maybe the correct answer is that these caps should have not been made or sold or bought or used since the problem was known and understood (probably quite a few years ago). I don't know the real

Re: Tektronix 7104 - RIFA explosion and replacement
Richard, have a look at a current RIFA manufactured capacitor of the same type and value as you find in a 20 year old instrument. Does it look like they changed anything? Isn't it odd that they are

Re: Tektronix 7104 - RIFA explosion and replacement
Not sure. Was repeating what I read here. Rifa was/is a Swedish company. It sold its capacitor division some years ago. See Wikipedia for the history.? My understanding is that Rifa had? patented

Re: Hello - new to this list but not to Tek scope - Power supply trouble
Those 950 uF caps in the 7904 and some other models are very nice high quality (called computer grade in the old days) units that are very easy to rebuild. I use an un-crimp/re-crimp method which I

Re: Tektronix 7104 - RIFA explosion and replacement
It seems to me they (the rfi filters) are bi-directional: i.e. to prevent coupling of signals both in and out.??? Now RIFA actually refers to a manufacturer,? not a generic type of capacitor but

Re: Hello - new to this list but not to Tek scope - Power supply trouble
Hate to follow up my own reply, but if you make your own, be sure to connect all 3 of the can grounding pins on your PCB. Tek used the can as a jumper. -- Paul Amaranth, GCIH | Manchester MI, USA

Search on ebay for Tektronix capacitor adapter and you'll find a bunch. If you want to bother etching your own, it's easy enough to make up a pattern in your favorite drawing program, put probably

Re: Hello - new to this list but not to Tek scope - Power supply trouble
I mispoke, btw - both of my scopes are 7904s not 7904A's. The sick one is older than the other - it has the fixed power cord, rather than an IEC socket for the power supply. I'm wondering about doing
