Re: Who's up to some remote troubleshooting?
Thanks, Stan. That's sound reasoning. I thought about it early on but having never pulled or installed a Tek IC, I was reluctant to mess around with the good 7A26. Now that I've done a few, I don't

Re: On screen display and other CRT items....
Dear John, I think that overriding concern was preserving MCP, which even overshadowed concern for phosphor. It appears that brightness setting is significant factor in time out. I seem to remember

Anybody need these Tek tubes?
Recent comments about Tek matched tubes reminded me I had some stashed away, and sure enough after a look, I have these new boxed factory Tek tubes: matched pair: 6AK5 157-0063-00 individual tubes: 2

Re: Who's up to some remote troubleshooting?
Hi Lynn, I'll be the first to admit I don't know much about troubleshooting stuff with IC's in it but here is what I would do, if it were mine, and I had the stuff that you have. It sure sounds like

Re: On screen display and other CRT items....
On this topic, does anyone know how to disable the "screen saver" feature that blanks the 2467's BrightEye CRT after about 3 seconds? (exaggerating for effect, but sometimes it almost seems that

I'm ashamed to admit I have not checked that. Will do so in the A.M. Thanks. Lynn

Re: On screen display and other CRT items....
I was initially surprised by the 40-80Kh number also. The difference I think is that in a scope the tube is not driven as often (duty factor) or as hard (especially white background applications) as a

Re: Digitizer on eBay
Gaston, The EMP is a very wild beast. One of the first tests where effects were to be measured was a test named Starfish. It fired a bomb about 200 miles above Johnson Island (do not know how far on

Re: I found a nice 7CT1N :-)!
Jose and Richard, When you start working on those 7D01, do not forget that cheap IC sockets were used in them. Reseating ICs does wanders for these plugs. I was burned by trying to find which IC is

Re: 7603 lights, and more about transient protection
Hello Dave, If those gas filled tubes were high voltage indicators, as Walter thinks, they would not indicate for very long. There are no serial resistors to limit current, once 'indication' takes

Re: On screen display and other CRT items....
Don, I like single shot mode for scope standby, too. A number of times I forgot that scope was in single shot and spent some time trying to find out 'what is wrong with my scope', but I still think

Re: Who's up to some remote troubleshooting?
I don't have a copy of the 7A26 schematic, so this is a *real* stab in the dark. How long are the triggering events that you're looking for? I fooled myself for a day recently while trying to fix my

Re: On screen display and other CRT items....
Unfortunately, the IC vertical designs don't have a thermal compensation adjustment. Again, the 7904 is an example, and my 7904s do suffer from swimming readouts.

Re: 7603 lights, and more about transient protection
Some of the supplies have spark gaps as well as neon lamps - an example is the 7904. I'm not sure if they are to protect the scope from the power line, or to protect the power line from the scope's HV
