Way off topic: Radio antennas
I know this has nothing to do with Tek-scopes (I do own a RM547, so I do belong "in the club") but I know many of you are also into HAM radio. Here's the story: I bought my mother a new police scanner

Re: Broken YIG oscillator wanted
Hi Jim: I can provide a set of board extenders. They are available from Norway Labs, Inc. matt@... for a fair price of about $90.00. Your set is available at no charge as a friend to friend

Re: TDS Schematics
To all users of Tek scopes: I would like to suggest that it might help if all scope users would use the correct numbers for their scopes. There is a 544 scope and there is a TDS544 scope and they are

Re: unsoldering tricks
A de-soldering trick from an old gas passer. Cutting the leads off the IC works well, you use a pair of dikes with narrow jaws and cut the legs right at the body of the IC. What I do next is turn the

Re: Did Tek mod all older scopes from UHF to BNC connectors?
Hi Steve: As Stan just reported about UHF connectors, not all Tek scopes had a mod for UHF connectors but these connectors were stock items and could be ordered from the factory. I have BNC connectors

Re: electrical safety box for 576
Hi Anand: I know of no source for the safety box as used on the 576 cure tracer. For many years I had this box as spare parts but they have all been used until there are none left. I have never used

465 Problem
I just picked up a beautiful 465 scope for my workbench. It appears to have a low voltage power supply problem and I have no prints for this scope. Would anybody have a scan of just the power supply

Sampling bridges
Hi folks Trawling around the web I came across a company that sells GaAs diode bridges, and Schottky diode bridges "for sampling applications". The url's are http://www.mpulsemw.com/Diodepdf/SBQ.PDF

Re: Fun with the 1A1
Hi Miroslav, Thanks for the message of. resistors. graduates from complex to a kluge. Please, let me know what was voltage drop. It was no kludge, just a faulty batch of 130 ohm resistors I suspect.

Re: Odd item on eBay
Hi Gang, The 282 is an adapter that allows use of conventional X1 and X10 probes on a sampling unit such as the 1S1, 3S1, 4S1, 4S2A and others. There is a good picture and explanation of it on page

Re: Odd item on eBay
Hello Craig, this thing is to connect a conventional high impedance probe to a 50 Ohm input. Sampling plug ins usually have 50 Ohm input impedance to match the RF. The 282 has a high impedance input

Re: Fun with the 1A1
Hello Morris, That was quite a thing that you found, really something to be proud of. I am curious what was voltage drop across each of these two 130 Ohm resistors. I have seen a number of resistors

Fun with the 1A1
Hi all, Here's a tale of a diabolical fault I recently encountered in a piece of classic Tek equipment. The experienced Tek people here might say "I knew about that" but it was a great achievement for
