465 for sale or trade locally to Central Texas
Jerry Massengale
Greetings,
? I have a working 465 with cart. I went through the adjustments last year with no problems. I have elected to keep my Tek 7603 for its wide range of uses (curve tracer for example). I do not know of any defects with the 465 but?will be sold as is. Pickup only. I have no boxes that will take the scope and the cart. Buyer is welcome to come and inspect and test within reason. I am located near Maysfield, Texas. Maysfield is too small to be on many maps but is on 485 about halfway between Cameron and Hearne, Texas. ? Asking $150 for both scope and cart. I have no interest in selling them separately. Reply off list. ? Jerry Massengale 1166 CR255N Cameron, TX 76520 254-697-2832 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
Re: A little off Topic, SG504 Output Head
Craig Sawyers
I bought a SG504 RF Generator on Ebay with NO Output Head.Situation normal. Liquidators shove the equipment in one pile, and anything they think is a "lead" they shove in another (or worse, in the dumpster). Anyone have a Source for one at a Reasonable Price?Hah! Good luck for the "reasonable price"! They seem to go on eBay for about as much as the generator, because of the liquidator nonsense - there are far more SG504's around than there are levelling heads. Also Looking for a 012 0482 00 50 ohm precision bnc Cable, can thisIt can be bought from Tek - still in current production. I have one, and ran some tests on my 1502 TDR on highest sensitivity settings. I could find no difference between the Tek precision cable, and a decent cable from the usual sources (in the UK either Farnell or RS [RadioSpares and *not* Radio Shack]). So I suspect that a decent general purpose cable does just as well. Craig |
A little off Topic, SG504 Output Head
Hi:
I bought a SG504 RF Generator on Ebay with NO Output Head. Anyone have a Source for one at a Reasonable Price? The Part Number is 015-0282-00. Also Looking for a 012 0482 00 50 ohm precision bnc Cable, can this cable be constructed? Any info would be appreciated. Thank's Rod. Amatuer Radio Callsign: VE5RMK |
Manual for Tek 465M
Ashley
Hello,
We just acquired a couple of 465M's ( non working) and would love to get our hands on a schematic (or schematics) so we can get these repaired. They appear to have power supply issues, as we have swapped the modules with a working 465M and both horiz and vert modules work fine. We would be willing to copy a manual, pay for schematic copies, or whatever we can work out. The BAMA download does not contain schematics. Thank You Ms Ashley Hall Kiss-Electronics Cornelius, Oregon W7DUZ |
Trace Problem 2465 scope
I Havve just aquired a 2465 300MHz scope. When i first power up all
tests pass, but the crt shows a very jagged display (almost as if you were seeing noise) The display notations of sweep time and v/div are also very shakey. this is more so on ch 1 & 2 and not as much on ch 3 & 4. over time the focus is lost and the display shifts upwards. including the notations. Im currently iin search of a sevice manual but thought id see if i could get a starting point here. Thanks for any help. |
Everything should now be up!
OK... I believe I've got both web and FTP working now.
Thanks to all for your patience, and special thanks to N5ZTW for spotting the fact that the web server had gone flooey. Happy tweaking. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner & Head Hardware Heavy, Blue Feather Technologies -- kyrrin (at) bluefeathertech do/t c=o=m "Quid Malmborg in Plano..." |
Problems with web site
Well, I can't seem to win at the moment.
I've got the FTP server working, but now I seem to have knocked the web server off the air. I'm working on it. Hope to have it up before too much longer. Patience appreciated. Thanks. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner & Head Hardware Heavy, Blue Feather Technologies -- kyrrin (at) bluefeathertech do/t c=o=m "Quid Malmborg in Plano..." |
Blue Feather FTP site is back!
Fellow techies,
I'm happy to report (finally!) that the Blue Feather FTP site has been restored, and is now available as follows. Site name: ftp.bluefeathertech.com User ID: ftp Password: Anything you want to use (though I'd prefer an E-mail address for logging purposes). There's no special port to worry about, however, I have limited the total number of anonymous logins to 12 at a time, and the total number of logins from any single IP address to two. If there seems to be need to change this in the future, I will. I'm also still waiting for DVDs from one user (you know who you are) to help me finish my rebuilding efforts, so I can't absolutely guarantee that everything's back. However, I'm pretty sure I've got most of it. Contributions are welcome, as always. Please enclose such in a ZIPfile, or similar archive, and E-mail attach them to me or let me know where they can be downloaded. I have also taken some serious anti-loss precautions. The storage array containing the library is mirrored to an entirely separate server, and regular DLT-based backups are taking place. Thanks to all who helped me rebuild, and to everyone in general for your patience. Happy tweaking. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner & Head Hardware Heavy, Blue Feather Technologies -- kyrrin (at) bluefeathertech do/t c=o=m "If Salvador Dali had owned a computer, would it have been equipped with surreal ports?" |

(I think) P7 was the phosphor in the Hughs MemoScope. P402 was one of the numbers assigned to the bistable phosphor. P7 phosphor had huge grains and according to my flaky memory, used two phosphors for the effect. It was also the least burn resistant. P11 had the finest grains, P31 was finer grained than P2. Aluminizing the backside of the phosphor kept the heat spread and reduced inclination to burning. Because isolated islands of phosphor were key to bistable storage, they could not be aluminized and hence, were easily burned. Joe Rooney |
CRT Phosphors
I wrote the following stuff about phosphors in response to question I
received. I thought some of you guys might get some new info out of it, so here it is. Stan CRT Phosphors: Back in the early 60's when I first went to work for Tek, P2 was considered the "standard phosphor" for almost all scopes Tek sold. This one was considered "easy on the eyes" since it is green and pretty easy to see in a well lit room. Later, Tek changed to P31 from P2 for standard. It was a new development in phosphors and just as easy on the eyes, but would not burn at easily as P2. The color is more bluish-green. So either P2 or P31 would be a good choice for general purpose use. Tek offered P11 as an option for people who were taking photographs of very fast events that were too fast to catch with the naked eye. The P11 phosphor can be viewed with the naked eye, but the color is not optimum for viewing that way, being deep purple. Polaroid film LOVES P11 and you can catch fast events on film (if you pick the right kind of film) that you could NEVER see. So P11 is kind of special and not the best choice, unless, of course, you are into very fast events and taking Polaroid pictures of the screen. P7 is another option that Tek offered. This one is a little strange in that as the beam is writing the phosphor (Fluorescence), the color is blue but the after-glow (Phosphorescence) is sort of yellow. This phosphor is handy when you are sweeping very slowly and you want to see where the beam has been for several seconds after it has left that spot. One common P7 application is for CRTs used in heart monitors where a doctor might want to see several consecutive "heartbeats" at one time. Another common P7 application is for viewing "slow scan TV" pictures that take 20 or 30 seconds to make one TV frame. You can still see the first part of the picture by the time the last part has been written. If you are not familiar with slow scan TV, it is a method that ham operators use to pass still pictures to each other using very low bandwidth so it can be done on HF frequencies that span the world instead of VHF and UHF that are local only. You COULD use a P7 for general purposes, too, but I think it burns sort of easily. The P7 phosphor is often used with the yellow or amber CRT filters because that filter tends to filter out the blue color of the fluorescence while letting the yellow color of the phosphorescence come through just fine. You will see P7 phosphors and yellow filters used on early spectrum analyzers that are not plugged into storage scopes and do not have digital storage capability. Some examples would be 491, 7L12, 7L13, 1L5 3L5, 1L10, etc. The idea is the get some of the advantages of CRT storage without the costs associated with a real storage scope. |

Always corroborate. Tek used specific color-coded wires for the power supply lines; if "225" doesn't point to red-red-green, the label is wrong. Or the wire. Dave Wise -----Original Message----- |
Tek 545 Hint
Hi, Gang
I have a 545 (no suffix) scope, and recently had to do some trouble-shooting. One hint: when measuring d.c. voltages along the ceramic terminal strip which has the voltages labeled on the nearby chassis edge, note that the "225V" label is offset by one position. The label points to a position on the strip which has a trimmer capacitor connected, it should point to the adjacent position which has several white wires with red stripes connected. I won't tell you how long I searched for spare tubes associated with the 225V regulator, before I realized the error. I have since added an arrow with a magic marker pointing to the correct spot. 73, Ed Knobloch |
