Re: Dead 7603
Turn the 7603 off, and then unplug the ht lead between the multiplier and the CRT (somewhat carefully! You may have to undo the P clip that holds the plug/socket to the end of the HT chassis to get

Re: OT: LED Measurements ... LED lamp bulbs at ridiculously low prices at (some) Costco stores
hi, LED measurements are made with a strict geometry & equipment; and accurate determinations are not always trivial. Some useful web sites with information are found at NIST (US) & NRC (Canada) as

Lost Horizontal Sweep on my 2465
Hello from a long-time reader and first-time (I think) poster. I recapped a 2465 two years ago, after which I got a clear, crisp trace. However, about a year later, the horizontal sweep stopped

A Bit OT, But Not Really
Whatever happened to Jim Yanik. On Usenet he was the preeminent authority on Tek equipment. I guess he worked for them for about 100 years. I mean if you posed a question, once I did, 7063 with such

Re: Dead 7603
Yes, but we must know if there is a HV fault. Hope it's not the multiplier. But we do need to know if there is B+. I figure the best way to proceed, once it is established that the low supplies are

Hello Dmitri, Fabio here again, On my last message, I was mistaken about the DM that ou have. I looked at it briefly on my mobile and thought it was a DM44, but it's in fact a DM43. I`m not sure how

Re: OT: LED lamp bulbs at ridiculously low prices at (some) Costco stores
The integrating cube sounds good if sufficient. You can improve the uniformity and efficiency to arbitrary degrees by adding more surfaces, say starting in the corners, making it k-hedral, approaching

Re: OT: LED lamp bulbs at ridiculously low prices at (some) Costco stores
Integrating spheres, even on ebay, go for silly money but there is a way......... I wanted to get the spectrum of an NVIS compatible illuminated switch and actually got pretty reasonable correlation

Hi Ed, ? I've actually made an integrating sphere. ?Actually, it's an integrating box, because I couldn't get a round shape quickly and easily, but I suppose I could have picked up an old globe at a

The 7603 uses a linear power supply, not a switcher. So no ticking. Craig

Re: OT: LED lamp bulbs at ridiculously low prices at (some) Costco stores
Dan, I think you can find the sensor pieces to make a reasonably-priced setup with good spectral matching, but the tricky part is the integration of the total bulb output, on a "hobby" budget.

Re: Dead 7603
You've got a dead 7603 with no lights. Definitely look at the low voltages first. Check the 0.15A (150mA) fuse, F855, just because its 'filament' is so delicate it can easily become disconnected from

Re: Dead 7603
Does it make a ticking sound - like 1/sec? You may need to put your ear close to the cover to hear it. If so, it's something in the PSU - rectifier board, LV board, inverter - likely a shorted

Re: Dead 7603
That diagnosis gives no information regarding the location of any HV fault. If the -3kV is not present, the fault could either be the HV transformer, something in the string of components associated
