Re: 7904 excessive vertical drift
Hi, years ago I experienced drift in my 7904 and it was caused by one of
the vertical channel switch ICs
on board A7. After exchanging the board the drift was no more.

Re: Another SG504 Head variant- results.
Hi Ancel,
I have a question about this latest version. I looked at the pictures and
the edge launched SMA connector looks "odd" on two accounts:

Re: UK practical help with pulse generator
Hi all,
I still have several dozen BFR 90 here, NOS, original Siemens.
If someone is interested in building this generator....

Re: 2220 POST displays a large X on the screen
Maybe the X is the "capacitors expired" indicator, or maybe if the caps were that bad, some glitching in the supplies confused the brain into turning it on sometimes.

Re: Tpe 130 L-C meter calibration using only a 300 pF cap.
Yes, the 130 is quite a nice LC meter. I got one a few years ago, and found it to be in very close (<1-2% about as good as I could resolve on the meter) agreement with some pretty good reference caps,

There are other suitable RF transistors from NXP among others. HP's
semiconductor division is part of Avago and their schottky diodes are
readily available and inexpensive. Transistor base-emitter

Re: 2220 POST displays a large X on the screen
What ROM version is installed in your scope? I wonder if the X is an early calibration option as I found reference to a circle in the 2230 manual which I have also never actually seen.
Good to hear

Tpe 130 L-C meter calibration using only a 300 pF cap.
Recently I acquired a type 130 L-C meter, date codes 1963. Accuracy seemed still quite good, judged with some length of coax as capacitors. Next I calibrated the meter using only a 0.2% 300pF

Re: 2220 POST displays a large X on the screen
I have replaced all the Sangamo 840mic 12V electrolytics and the 2220 is now working perfectly. 7 of the 9 caps were bulging, so definitely on their way out.
Thanks for all your comments.

Re: 2465B U400 Availability?
When making low level measurements, do a sanity check by applying the
probe tip to the same location as the ground clip and then to a ground
near the measurement location. If the noise still shows

Ed,
This seems to be a very mild version of a problem on my 7904 about a year ago, mine would drift a whole screen height, sometimes slowly and sometimes in a few seconds. Same symptom of trace and

Thanks for the confirmation and suggestions. I may do the same. The scope works, but having that kind of noise on the rails doesn't make me very happy (regardless of whether the scope

Barry,
I found the same sort of thing on my 2465BCT. Everything was within
specification, but there was a lot of noise that was not power line related.
There was / is one which does have some power

Re: 2465B U400 Availability?
I finally got a chance to get back into the 2465B. Voltages are as close as my Fluke 25 (old style 25) will measure. 10.00 shows 9.99 so not sure if that's the meter (it isn't calibrated) but assume
