Re: Nuvistors.
That's what I was thinking; that they may have run the heaters off DC to prevent hum and it would be easier to supply 150mA heaters than 300mA in the tube era. Now it would be simple to use a three

David, More below: Your ripple measurements sound OK, so your filter caps are most-likely good. Just remember many of the supplies are not up to normal output voltages, so their output currents are

Re: Photos of a non-illuminated graticule; WAS 576 versus 577
Low phosphor response or fast decay shouldn't be as much trouble if you can mount some UV LEDs inside the hood so they can be left on continuously during the shot, or right up to it if there's visible

I did solve one problem with this little UV LED experiment: I now know how to take a photo of the Wiltron 640 RF Analyzer CRT. This instrument is built into a Tek 5000 series scope with a special

Re: Photos of a non-illuminated graticule; WAS 576 versus 577
Ed, Brad I didn't think about the plastic in front of the CRT. Removing it makes the 7934 storage CRT glow nicely. Removing it from the 577/D1 makes the phosphor glow faintly in PURPLE! I didn't

Hi Brad, Correction to my original post where I said: "The other LED I tried was a 485nM one I just got." I meant so say: "The other LED I tried was a 385nM one I just got." 385nM is considered

Re: Photos of a non-illuminated graticule; WAS 576 versus 577
Yes, UV LEDs are the way to go. The old school cameras we discussed had plenty of UV from actual UV lamps, or the high UV content from a xenon flash. The other variable is the UV loss in the plastic

Re: Photos of a non-illuminated graticule; WAS 576 versus 577
<snip> Hello, Dennis-- Have you tried using ultraviolet-emitting LEDs? IIRC, one of the --HP-- oscilloscope cameras used a UV emitting lamp to light up the screen's phosphor and show the graticule.

Photos of a non-illuminated graticule; WAS 576 versus 577
During the discussion of the 576 vs 577 curve tracer I mentioned the 577 graticule was not illuminated which I find annoying every time I want to take a picture of device characteristics on the CRT.
