Welcome! My first scope was a 502, and I really pushed the bandwidth, using it to look at waveforms on the Commodore PET and CBM computers.? It was actually the reason I joined the group too.

Re: What removes sticker residue without hurting the blue paint?
Try Goo Gone, a citrus based product (not to be confused with Goof Off, a paint remover). I have used this to remove cal sticker adhesive from several Tek and Agilent instruments. Be gentle! Rick

Re: let's bring this back to life Re: Tektronix 453 high voltage problem
I've tackled a couple of 453 EHT problems. In one case (actually a 454) it was the final HV capacitor (before the CRT anode) which had broken down. In the other instance, it was a thermally-related

Re: let's bring this back to life Re: Tektronix 453 high voltage problem

Re: let's bring this back to life Re: Tektronix 453 high voltage problem
A winding can impregnated with epoxy without being potted in it. I restored my early 453 by rewinding, and it wasn't potted. See topic and photo album titled "453 HV Transformer Rewind". Dave Wise

Re: let's bring this back to life Re: Tektronix 453 high voltage problem
The reason I don't think that the transformer epoxy is going bad is because the transformer is not potted at all. I can see the windings. My understanding is that later transformers were potted. I
