Re: 11402 knob coupling that slips
Hi Kurt, If you do make an "O" ring piece to squeeze the plastic, don't get greedy with the amount of 'squeeze' you put in to it, as you could easily crush that plastic piece that slides over the

Re: 7633 readout drift
It drifts independent of the trace. Yes I have some cold spray AND a parts mule. So this should not be a huge deal.

Re: 7633 readout drift
No, it's supposed to be in the correct position as soon as the beam appears. Does it drift with the trace, or independently? Also, do you have a cold spray? The easiest way to find out the culprit is

Re: Automatic Brightness Control : was it ever implemented ??
The 2213 that I had for a short while included automatic brightness. On my machine it seemed to not work very well, perhaps it was defective (forty year old machine) so I wasn't disappointed that the

Re: 7T11 sampling timebase - how does it behave?
Hi Raymond, I looked at the pix. You seem to have 30pSec risetime and I would like to know how you do that since the S4 has a 25pS rise time. That would mean you were using a 13pS pulse. The 2nd photo

Re: Automatic Brightness Control : was it ever implemented ??
I don't know the full answer, but the nearest I can think of quickly is that some (or all?) of the 7000-series timebase plugins limit the beam current at slow sweep speeds to prevent CRT burn. That's

Re: 453 calibrator
I mentioned the P6042 and A6302 in a recent message but is seems to have been lost somewhere. Both probes are long out of production. The P6042 has an interesting design and is complete i. e. does not

Automatic Brightness Control : was it ever implemented ??
Hi group, Sometimes I wonder about this... maybe the experts on here have some view on this ?? I mean, the brightness of the trace varies consid¨¦rably depending on sweep speed, ranging from blinding

Re: Tek 565 tubed
Shame when that happens; a full complement of tubes is not cheap to source and full calibration will be necessary. Also, the 565 can be prone to crt heater isolation breakdown and HV transformer

Re: CSA803 power-on error E2131
I doubt that communication via RS-232 or GPIB would be possible now that the system "hangs" after the error messages at start-up. I don't understand yet where or how an interrupt is generated. Is the

Re: 453 calibrator
Hey Jack, Despite I'm member of this group for about 2 years, I consider myself still a rookie about Tektronix stuff. Specially because their product catalog is so small... What? Some 3 thousand items

Re: CSA803 power-on error E2131
As I said mine was a 2430a and all the cal and setup data was on the two dallas chips, as to what is stored where only Tektronix would know, I just copied the chips and replaced them adding a pair of

Re: CSA803 power-on error E2131
The Dallas chips were totally gone indeed (date code 9106). I can't find in the CSA803A service manual what precisely is stored where. The error T1331 should not prohibit normal operation (at

Upgraded, stub tuned, Tektronix SG-504 leveling head back online for a last run
Hello All: Since I posted the DIY for this item on hackaday.io I let the built Ebay items sell out. However, lately I have been getting requests to purchase this item again. 3 times in this week

Re: 453 calibrator
You should be aware of a company called Tektronix, which makes the P6042 current probe. DC-50Mz Hall effect / coil First offered in 1969! I think you can find a manual on the web. I have one and it

7633 readout drift
When powering on the scope from cold the readout is high by about half a graticule. After 3-5 minutes of warm up the readout drifts to the center of the top graticule. Is this normal for this to
