Re: Resurrecting a 475 - Request for Guidance
The 'J4' connector ('J4' is silk screened right next to it) is one of the solid board-to-board connectors; It's shown with 'J4' superimposed over it in figure 7-15 in the 475 manual - on one of the

Re: No trace on 556 :(
Hello Evan, I have what is left of a 556 scope. I just checked and both high voltage (plastic rectangular) enclosures are still in the chassis. The front panel and low voltage transformer are also

Re: 2465B Replace Aluminum Electrolytics with Tantalum
Look at the data sheet for the Nichicon HE series capacitors, in the 'endurance' section it says that the capacitor's life doubles (in hours) when you go up from 6.3 mm to 12.5 mm diameter. This fits

Re: 2465B Replace Aluminum Electrolytics with Tantalum
I have been told that skinny electrolytics dry out faster. Regards, Mark

Re: 2465B Replace Aluminum Electrolytics with Tantalum
Hi Mark, That is an interesting point you make about using aluminum electrolytics with a higher diameter to length ratio. A recent capacitor discussion on Tekscopes included links to capacitor data

Acquisition board spoken for
The ACQ board I posted for availability earlier has been spoken for. My thanks to Jim Finch. Keep the peace(es). -- --- Bruce Lane, ARS KC7GR http://www.bluefeathertech.com kyrrin (at) bluefeathertech

Re: Resurrecting a 475 - Request for Guidance
Can you better identify "J4" or give the capacitor designator from the service manual? One of the common failure points is a tantalum 47 uF cap (C1318) that filters the DC supply to the HV generator.

Resurrecting a 475 - Request for Guidance
I have recently become the proud owner of a 475 that I found abandoned at the side of a road! Other than a couple dents in the casing, it appears to be in pretty good condition. After replacing the

Re: Scope
Hi Harvey, Thanks for your email. It was very helpful. I was working with the scope for a while, turning it off and on a few times, and finally the screen came up. I suspect that since the scope

Re: 464
Hi Gypsy, The question is too open-ended. It is expected that you would ask it and then list the 'five' basic tests you ran and their results. The 464 S/M itself has a Troubleshooting chapter for you

Acqusition board available, cheap
I have a surplus acquisition board, P/N 679-4774-02 (from the label) or G9F-2841-00 (from the top copper layer). It was, as far as I know, working when pulled out of its host TDS520. The 'scope itself

Re: 2465B Replace Aluminum Electrolytics with Tantalum
I don't share your disdain for tantalum electrolytic capacitors.? Their dramatic failure modes to happen when they are operated near their rated voltage.? For this reason, I de-rate their voltage

Re: 2465B Replace Aluminum Electrolytics with Tantalum
So you replaced parts who's current main failure mode is less capacitance with a part who's known normal failure modes are burns up in flames taking out the PCB or short circuit taking out the parts
