Re: Dead 7603
Jim, In audio applications, when a huge filter cap is required, and not practical (usually due to cost), I use 2 smaller caps wired in parallel. In your case, I would use 2 x 10,000uF 105¡ãC caps,

7603 Calibration Plug In Question
Tek scope noob question: Can the calibration plugin for the 7603 also be used in some way for calibrating other scopes too? Or just the 7603?

Re: Tektronix DM5010 NiCa 2.4V battery replacement
My (limited) understanding is that NiMH cells really don't like more than C/20 - and in many cases the definition of C is, um, very optimistic. I'd restrict trickle charging to C/40 or C/50 - but that

Re: Dead 7603
Yep, a 3300 uF cap jumpered across C821 smoothed out the voltage fairly nicely. The 18,000 uF C821 is toast! I have a feeling removing it is going to be a two-person job. Next order of business: there
