Re: Nuvistors
Yes, the driver in my description is voltage, and the current changes with voltage. Sorry for the confusion. -Chuck Harris Raymond Domp Frank wrote:

Re: 500-series fan motor disassembly.
Hi there, Just going again into this problem so trying to bring back to life this thread, hoping that someone with experience on this would like to share a good mechanical tip to disassemble the

Re: Nuvistors
Replacement of nuvistors with JFET's (specifically, MPF102 JFETs) in the 422 scope vertical amplifiers has been accomplished by "Kurt" and was documented several years ago in his blog. I believe this

Re: Nuvistors
I believe the replacement is MPF102, pin for pin. less filament of course. Renée

Re: 453 blows HV fuse
Still have to follow up and make more measurements. Its the fuse on the 20V supply to the HV assembly. Tek calls it the HV fuse even though its in a low voltage line. Probably less than an amp

Hello, I see there is another Tektronix 547 in the Massachusetts area for those still looking. Marty.https://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/ele/6573973313.html

Re: Nuvistors
Regarding the tunnel diode branch from this thread - it is indeed possible to see the complete I-V curve of a tunnel diode in low frequency or DC conditions. Normal curve tracers can't do it because

Re: Intermittent no trace / sweep.
Roy, I got the screw however could not get it in and in the process stripped the thread... But no big deal, just talk to old man who has "100's" of scopes and he stated that the problem is bad switch

Re: 453 blows HV fuse
Isn't it normal for the trace to be distorted with the beam finder? The beam finder applies a fairly hard clipping to X and Y amplifiers to keep the spot on screen. When you say there is something

Re: TM504A differences from TM504
Hi Hawker, The TM504A is apparently quite rare. It doesn't show up in any of the catalogs. In the 1993 catalog the TM504 is listed along with several other mainframes but by 1994 the only TMxxx

Re: 453 blows HV fuse
Okay yeah looks like the data collected do line up with each other and your CRT HV seems to be working at least to a point. This is F937 (2A) that you're seeing burn? I would call this the

FG504 and failed Q270 (SPS2927)
My FG504 had suddenly died when I tried to use it yesterday (no output basically). After a lot of probing around I discovered that Q270 on the A3 Loop board had failed. It's specified as 151-0438-00,

Chuck, Didn't you mean to say "trigger current" and "triggered current"? Raymond

Re: Nuvistors
You seem to understand electronics pretty well... You might want to look up one of the two transistor circuits that behave like a tunnel diode, build one, and study it. It's probably better to just

Re: TM504A differences from TM504
Did you find info on TM504A? It could not have been produced for very long. In my "newest" 1983 Tek catalog, Tek are offering the TM500 (not A) and they had then brought out the TM5003 and
