Re: Problems with MG Chemicals Super Contact Clearer
Hi Stan, I had the same problem just yesterday on a new MG Chemicals Super Contact Cleaner I bought. On my own I figured that I would have more success by removing the nozzle. That was the case, but

I pulled a 1502 TDR out of the buck a pound box at Dayton a few years back and finally got it completely fixed the other week. I had to fab a battery pack and then fix the charging circuitry, but

Problems with MG Chemicals Super Contact Clearer
Hello the forum, Relevance to Forum, it is used in cleaning switches in Tektronix equipment. I bought a can of this product, 801B-125G. The spray tube just will not insert. Like many of you, I have

Re: 7623A + 7A26 + 7B53
I have the same combination along with a big bunch of other plugins. This is a one setup that I use quite often, sometimes with a non Tek curve tracer . I have had this for many years and I think its

Re: 7623A + 7A26 + 7B53
Decent enough, although I'm not an owner of the 7600 series. Take two or three BNC cables and a T. That ought to let you get a good view of the calibrator waveform. Swapping slots is another good

Re: TekWiki Helper Idea. Brainstorm or Washout?
Hi Kurt, I can dig up the names of the designers of some of the Tek instruments. I may even be able to get in touch with some of them to see if they were willing to share the history of the

Re: TekWiki Helper Idea. Brainstorm or Washout?
I'd be willing to take on the 465 and 485 for starters and go from there. I know this is solely for the options, and I know where to find those, but I'm quite curious where the MODS info is to be

Hello folks, I`m having a chance to acquire a 7623A + 7A26 + 7B53A combination. Since I will have little chance to check it onsite I would like to ask you experts, if there is any known quirks or

Re: 7603 15+ rail dead. Options?
Thanks, point(s) taken. I¡¯ve ordered appropriate discrete parts, should have the power supply working in a few days, and can then move on to other problems.

Re: TekWiki Helper Idea. Brainstorm or Washout?
Hi Kurt, WOW! The 7603 page is stunning. Where do you find the time to do all of this? I would be happy to take charge of the 7854, 7A26, 7A24, 7A18, 7A16A, and the 7A25 (yes, I meant the 7A25) pages.

Re: 16700A setting up Xwindows.
IIRC, they use fvwm as the window manager and it's relatively easy to change the personality. At least once you find where they put the configuration file. It's an interesting box if you're familiar
