Re: Replacing Electrolytics in a 465/465B
When I designed the board, I intentionally made it one-sided to eliminate the exposure of the higher voltages to the top side of the board. In retrospect, those would be very difficult to get one's

Re: Substitutions for 465, 475, & 485 semiconductors
Hi Reginald, Have you taken a look at the tremendous collection of stuff on Hakanh's site? There is a semiconductor workbook at http://hakanh.com/dl/kits.htm (bottom of the page, more or less) which

Re: Replacing Electrolytics in a 465/465B
Hi Tom, I've used them before. I used JLCPCB for these boards. I'm pretty sure there are several options for inexpensive boards like these. Thanks, Barry - N4BUQ

Re: Replacing Electrolytics in a 465/465B
Alternative: use http://dirtypcbs.com/store/pcbs# You can make the design available for anyone else to order: http://dirtypcbs.com/store/designer/pcbs That saves you hassle and you are given some

Re: Replacing Electrolytics in a 465/465B
I may do that. If someone wants just one, then it's somewhat cheaper to get it from someone (me?) who orders a batch. I'm probably going to order one more batch with the updates I mentioned and then

Re: Replacing Electrolytics in a 465/465B
Barry, Although I'm not interested in these PCBs per se, could I make a suggestion? Perhaps for international Tek fans you could put the design (schematic, layout, & gerbers) on github, dropbox, or

Re: Substitutions for 465, 475, & 485 semiconductors
I'm well aware of the site. But I had not found a substitution list on it. All a search with google produced was quotations from manuals about checking by substitution. But I did find the Tek cross

I started working in a TV shop at 13, in 1965. One older tech was a fountain of practical knowledge. I wasn't old enough to open an account at the local parts house, so he would buy things for me so

Re: Compatibility between Series-5000 and TM500/TM5000 latches
Hi Colin, The TM500 / TM5000 series went through AT LEAST five different mechanical variations of the pull tabs for reasons that I have never figured out. Each one was different enough that none of

Re: Wow Radio Shack desoldering Iron Best review ever, Re: [TekScopes] 466-464 stray wire
I have minimal experience with industrial soldering machines. I was a kid back in 1970, and a ham, and getting a job working for DEI was like being let loose in a candy shop. I did a ton of odd jobs

Re: Tek 485
Thanks for looking Jim. The 100, 200, 500 V marks are for a 100x probe. I'll open my 485 up this weekend and check the shaft length and see if I can detach the ring. Bob

Re: Wow Radio Shack desoldering Iron Best review ever, Re: [TekScopes] 466-464 stray wire
I had some from a company around Orlando that was 80/20. I thought that was odd, but it was in the original containers. We also got tons of what the wave solder machines in the area skimmed as waste.
