Re: 2220 POST displays a large X on the screen
HiSorry, I thought I had posted an image. I've added one to the albums: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/TekScopes/photos/albums/816692027 Unlike the 2221 and 2230 the 2220 doesn't have on screen

Re: 2465B U400 Availability?
Its troubling that the scope ma have been dropped so hard.? Double check the CRT.? If all channels show similar distortion you may have a CRT fault.? Its repairable though. To:

Re: 2465B U400 Availability?
Got a chance to open up the 2465B tonight. Pretty clean and no obvious signs of capacitor issues (leakage, etc.). It's a 65K serial number and appears to have been made in 1994. Fan is broken. Two of

Re: 2465B U400 Availability?
Bad voltages on certain supply rails can also cause the trace to distort as it is moved top to bottom.? One concern is if the distortion is the same on all channels and at the same place on the

Re: 2465B U400 Availability?
Depending on the history of your scope, the U400 pins may be corroded and make it hard to remove.? This isn't common nor likely, just possible.? So voe the screws that hold it in place and pry

Re: DC508A Display
It is a way to make a common cathode driver with all NPN transistors. I do not know why emitter followers with a 4.1 volt output minimum would have not worked though.

Re: 2465B U400 Availability?
I would not hesitate to buy?a 2465B with a trace for under $100. Once home with this reassure I would measure all voltages and most likely replace all electrolytics.? Then borrow a U400 from my

Re: DC508A Display
I figured it out with NPNs in series with segment drivers A and D so the voltage drop would be insignificant; N-channel power MOSFETs would work also and a full 5 volts are available for enhancement.

Re: DC508A Display
Hi, thank you for this long post. In fact even if I think that if it may be done in your way, it will be difficult to have the same segment luminosity. May be it's less work to use a microcontroler

Re: 2220 POST displays a large X on the screen
Hi, You do mean an "X" or a cross? "+" ? A cross hairs pattern is part of the calibration, (Clock delay timer). If you power up the scope, then do a reset, (using plug P9104 near the microprocessor),

Re: 2220 POST displays a large X on the screen
How "good" is the "X" display? Is it like a distorted Lissajous, or accurately formed? Can you move it around with the position controls? If it's well-made, and fixed at the center, then it's likely

Re: 2465B U400 Availability?
I bought the 2465B today. Nice physical condition on the outside but haven't had time to open it yet. Seems there's a bit of noise on some channels. I'm guessing power supply issues. Changing the

Re: 2220 POST displays a large X on the screen
Thanks for your comments.It happens in analog mode. After power on, the display comes up normally for about a second then the X comes up. Occasionally the scope will start up as normal, the problem is
