Re: Alkaline crud
Thanks As you can see I a not a chemist. I will order some 95% formic acid soon. Glenn

Re: 2215A LVPS repair
You don't necessarily have to have an air connection to the outside world for a fan. You can get some beneficial cooling by circulating the air inside the instrument, spreading the heat for

Re: 2215A LVPS repair
Just realized... stupid me ! ..... There is NO WAY one could fit a fan in a 2215 if like mine (and most units AIUI), it has the modified SMPS which replaced the TRIAC based regulator with the PWM /

Re: 2215A LVPS repair
Hmmm.... yes indeed ! Just looked at my 2215... no luck, as you said... :-/ At first glance I thought I stood a chance when I spotted C965 and CR965 (but no R965 and no fan connector) on the board

Re: Alkaline crud
Formic acid is better than acetic -- it is more volatile than water or IPA so whatever left after the cleaning will simply evaporates without a trace. Don't use concentrated formic acid -- it has

Re: No trace on 556 :(
Okay, I've found some additional evidence of what's gone wrong. Both R1300 and R1301 have exploded. I'm curious what I should try replacing and how I should turn the thing back on after the pieces

Re: Alkaline crud
I use acetic acid (vinegar) to clean alkaline battery residue and baking soda in solution to clean acid battery residue. I have a wash bottle of both on the work bench. I follow this up by flooding

Alkaline crud
Did someone here suggest Ammonia (Ammonium Hydroxide solution, Washing Ammonia) as a way of removing the crud from failed alkaline battery corrosion? Dick

Re: 2215A LVPS repair
Hi Roy, As odd as it might sound, the 2215 is very unlike the 2215A (in many ways) and what is known about adding a simple cooling fan does not apply to the 2213 and 2215 as well as many of the other

Re: Snubber capacitors
BTW...have a read on this snubbing guide, especially concerning contact bounce which exists no matter how 'crisp' the switch action is. http://sound.whsites.net/articles/relays2.htm

Re: 2215A LVPS repair
That's true for the early units, which drive the fan at 8.6V via the a middle tap and the two +/- 8.6 rails. But I see there was a different wiring for later 2232's : this time it's running at a

Re: 2215A LVPS repair
Hi Roy, It was Tom Jobe (which you quoted) who offered this info, not me ;-P I am interested in it too ! :-) As for posting Photos, I think it's much better to put them in a clearly/explicitly named,

Re: 2215A LVPS repair
Hello, I had a quick look on the 2232 schematics and my 2215A board layout: The 2232 has a full wave rectifier (CR965 & CR967 coming from pin 20 and 22 of the transformer) and a capacitor C965 and a

Re: 2215A LVPS repair
Hi, I for sure want to add a fan too! The album I made is open for the group, so you can simply add the pictures here: /g/TekScopes/album?id=64919 Un saludo, Leo

Re: 2215A LVPS repair
Vincent, This is certainly a mod I want to do to my 2215. A modest amount of air improves the life of electronics a lot. I¡¯d be grateful to get the pictures you have, with my thanks. Roy Morgan

Re: Snubber capacitors
As an aside....i had to snub a massive desulfator pulse of about 600A that delivered significant back emf from cable and battery inductance. I was unable to quantify it until I placed a pulse diode
