Thanks, Dave! I will try the largest value cap I have in parallel with C821 this evening. The rest of the day is dedicated to my other addiction (I meant strikethrough) hobby, playing musical

I posted this in the hpagilent group a while back, but no one seems to have info. That group seems pretty quiet lately, and I don't see indications that it's moved to groups.io yet. Since it's mostly

Re: Dead 7603
If either of the rectifiers were shorted, you would see the waveform go negative across C821. The minimum value of 2v indicates they are OK. This is OK. This

Re: Dead 7603
Thanks, Harvey. So I checked out the 8 V supply feeding the 5 V supply - it looks really bad! Similar waveform to the 5 V rail but dips from a high of maybe 14 V down to about 2 V. That's at the

Re: 7A29 attenuator fault corrosion issue
Hi George, Glad it worked for you too! I guess you may have figured this out as well but when it comes to re-engaging the slots in the SMA connector with the stripline I found the springy stripline

Re: 7A29 attenuator fault corrosion issue
Yes, both of my 7A29s are like that. On one of them a couple of cams had rotated so the attenuator settings no longer made sense. I added a fillet of epoxy at each side of each cam (I used Loctite

Re: 7A29 attenuator fault corrosion issue
Adrian, I was able to restore one and now two of my 7A29 units following your procedure! It is definitely a ground contact issue between the resistors and aluminum block. One more to go. It is indeed

Re: My "new" Tek 485 with opt 4
Not sure it will work, but I'm attaching a scan of the 465 manual pages describing the option. It's basic SMPS EMI filtering plus a mesh screen on the face of the CRT. I'm guessing the mesh screen was

Re: Looking at a broken 2440
Ah, the HP 54503A must be similar to the 400 MHz 54504A DSO that we have unused in the storage area at work. Came from a power supply vendor who went out of business, but we have more modern Tek

Re: Looking at a broken 2440
The 2440 can be a real craps shoot. I had one on the shelf for many years that was failing self tests so bad that it would never boot to even crippled functionality. One of the failures, as I recall,

Re: Looking at a broken 2440
I have a 7104. I use it only when I need the MCP or the 1 GHZ bandwidth. That requires either a direct coax input or a 1 GHz probe (and, for that matter, something where the bandwidth is needed).

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.
