My "new" Tek 485 with opt 4
I just got a nicely refurbished 485 which lists "opt4" under the SN. I could find no information despite several searches. I was surprised at how little information there was at the w140.com/Tekwiki.

Re: Looking at a broken 2440
I'd say that could be likely.? I bought a 2440 at a flea market for more, and it was stone dead when I got it home.? With the help of people on this list, I got it running.? The archives should

Re: Looking at a broken 2440
I think I'm going to pass it up. I need to start being selective on my scope choices. I think my next scope will be one I really want. Which is a 2467 or 7104 with a MCP CRT.

Re: Looking at a broken 2440
Just remembered something - there is also a safety circuit designed to stop powering up in the case of short for any of DC voltages rails - so theoretically if there is a short at some other board the

Re: Looking at a broken 2440
Personally I would offer less - in addition to power supply caps and possible damage to the traces under the caps there is a possibility that the NVRAMs will have to be changed ( dead batteries ) .

Gentlemen, The vast majority of comments on this topic are completely lacking any relevance to the TekScopes. Please stop wasting our bandwidth. Thank you, Dennis Tillman W7PF

Looking at a broken 2440
I'm looking at a 2440 that won't power on for $85. Worth it or not? What is the likelihood of just power supply issues and no IC problems? Thanks fellas

Re: OT: Scopes and other electronics on "The Outer Limits"
I had a boss who made that necessary. I go in the office, tell him what a job needs, we got it, callem am tell me if I should do it. He gets on the phone and I hear "OK, we'll be there with it around

Pete, The keycap has two little tabs that snap over the momentary switch. I will send a photo if you have not resolved this yet. Removing the keycap requires access to the button board because the

Re: 465B Square Wave problem
Couple of questions and a comment. One, why can't I get the print at w140 ? I went to that Polish site and got it and it is scanned terribly and there are tings missing. Then I went to BAMA and it

Re: tants new vs old
That is fine where it is possible. Alas there are places where it is difficult to make such a replacement. Just for example -- there are some high capacitance (something like 1,000uF 25V) wet

Re: tants new vs old
It has only happened in 20% of my 1502s. I seem to have a fetish for the damn things :) ISTR the 25V rails are not low current, which might increase the stress.

Re: tants new vs old
Interesting - must check mine. Wonder why they used them only on the +25V rail, which is only used on the high voltage board, to feed the switching transistors on the primary of the HV transformer,

Re: tants new vs old
forever Well, yes. All I'm saying is that I have identical plugins (such as 7A26) in which at some point Tek went from tant bead to aluminium electrolytic. So substitution is tried and tested. And low

Re: tants new vs old
The only thing that can degrade a rubber-sealed wet tantalum, and also (particularly) axial electrolytics, is the flux cleaning regime. As an example I bought a NOS P6046 differential probe, and
