464-466 w/dm44
I have a question about the A5 trigger generator sweep logic board differences. I have two 466's with out the DM44 with the same trigger board 670-3324-00 boards. I have a 464 with a DM44 with the

Re: Snubber capacitors
There are millions if not billions on DC coil relays in the wild with integral back-emf diodes working just fine. There are certainly design misuse situations that can cause field failures. That

Re: 3D Printing / Milling Tektronix parts
I think it worth pointing out that injection molding knobs would not be that difficult or expensive to set up for small production. It requires a heating chamber, a mold and a lever actuated pump.

Re: No trace on 556 :(
I have never played with a 556, so I don't know the specifics..but assume you have checked/replaced the caps where necessary. regards Rajesh -- /Rajesh

Re: 485 Knob
Oops I missed the plastic skirt detail... that complicates things a bit. I think I could replicate this as well... I'd print this in clear resin and then polish it, or potentially turn it out of

Re: 485 Knob
I've gotten reasonably good at 3D printing tektronix knobs. I 3D scan the original and use this as a reference in CAD. I then print the knob on a resin-based 3D printer, and airbrush the final color

Re: 485 Knob
Hi Tam, I was musing about replicating them more than seeking replacement knobs. I am in need of knobs for some restoration projects but they are months (or even years) away from starting. Thanks all

Re: No trace on 556 :(
Apologies... two missing details... I couldn't see any obvious damage under the HV cover, (no charring or whatever), and I don't clearly remember if it's +100 volts or -100 volts that I measured on

No trace on 556 :(
Hey all, I just acquired a 556, but it's having some fairly serious issues. Before powering it on, I checked all the supply rails for shorts with a meter, and checked the power plug for shorts as

Re: Snubber capacitors
I would say go with the X/Y capacitors and pick ones that have the highest AC and DC voltages you can find which will fit physically. Be aware of any special local and national electric codes for

Re: 485 Knob
There is a small tektronix knob on thingiverse, I haven't tried printing it yet, but plan too as I'm in need of a knob for a 2213... Getting the color right is always the key, but 3d prints can be

Re: Snubber capacitors
An earler post asked about using snubbers to save the contacts of switches & relays. Many of the same issues apply to both relay & switch contacts. I looked into factors reducing relay contact life a

Re: 485 Knob
Hello John, could you send us a few photos or even lend us such a knob? I am pretty sure Sir OConnell can do something for you! Tam --- With best regards Tam HANNA (emailing on a BlackBerry PRIV)

Re: Snubber capacitors
So what's the final verdict? 1 or 2? Mounted across the switch terminals, EITHER 1. A 10nF DC rated capacitor up to about 3000VDC OR 2. A 10nF AC Class X/Y capacitor rated to about 500VAC ??
