Re: Help needed with no trace no beamfinder on 465 (not b)
Thanks for your continued help Albert. I _might_ be able to cobble together a power supply in excess of 100V... but I am not understanding what that will tell me, possibly because I am unsure of your

Re: Up to date capacitor list for Tek 2465A and 2465B scopes (2018)
I am not a chemist.? Nor am I up to date on capacitor chemistry.? Its been 19 years since I reviewed electronic designs professionally.? Still, I am qualified to read and evaluate manufacturers

Re: Help needed with no trace no beamfinder on 465 (not b)
Hi Keith, I'm sorry I couldn't quickly guide you to the fault location. Personally I can spend many many hours in finding a fault, and that as far as possible without desoldering components. But I

Re: let's bring this back to life Re: Tektronix 453 high voltage problem
The HV circuit takes less than 500mA when healthy: current is inversely proportional to the DC voltage in (unregulated, but normally around 16 to 17V raw DC). I wouldn't recommend removing the diode

If I decide to go that route, are there any Im on the lookout for a parts scope for my 465. Let me know the price,if thats the way you decide to go.

Thanks for correcting me Albert, I apologize for being so sloppy... I have corrected the legend on that photo to read 10V/div after I rechecked. And you are correct as well about my not having checked

Thank you ! My work is done. After replacing all 150 ohm resistors (1% 2W), the beams appeared and are normally adjusted to the full height of the screen .. After that, the capacitor was completely

OK, I found the picture. I think you are right but not sure of exactly where to look at the moment. You have full sweep yet it does this, somehow that ripple is getting to a lower level stage. I could

Re: Help needed with no trace no beamfinder on 465 (not b)
Keith, I think the Q1418 collector waveform is taken at 10 V/div, not 20 V/div. The 15 V(unreg) comes from the bridge rectifier I suppose, where the schematic says ~~ 24.5 V. You didn't show or

Re: My 422
If a transistor has been degraded due to reverse Vbe, you can actually restore it's Hfe by applying high base current to heat up the junction sufficiently. Might be fun to try. On Friday, June 15,
