Re: 453 trouble
Yes, for best frequency response the ground lead should be short and the area between it and the probe minimal. You may see ringing and other strange stuff with your separate ground lead. Probably OK

Re: 453 trouble
Hello Folks, Thanks for all thoses interestings comments. As Ive reconnected the ground, and turned power ON : no differential main shut down occur, even when my finger played with chassis parts. I

Re: Dead 7603
Well, after a week on vacation, I replaced the old 18,000 uF, 16 V C821 with a new 22,000 uF, 25 V job that was the same diameter but less than half the length. I knew I was going to be out of town,

Re: Resurrecting a 475 - Request for Guidance
Our work benches vary quite a lot, and things found useful by some may not even be at others places: I have a relaltively common magnifying goose-neck lamp. The tubular fluorescent lamp surround a

Re: Resurrecting a 475 - Request for Guidance
Hi John, It's good to hear that you are making progress on your 475. Those large capacitors for the low voltage supplies in the aluminum cans often fail internally and do not show any bulging or other

It turns out that C965 (Board A9), a tantalum bypass capacitor on the +15 rail had gone bad; removing brought the +15 rail resistance to ground back to where it should be. Most of the capacitors look

Re: 453 trouble
to the electrostatic There are no such capacitors in the 453. Hence my comment regarding the primary capacitive coupling to the shield. I - er - looked at the schematic before I commented :-) Craig

Re: 2465B Replace Aluminum Electrolytics with Tantalum
Tantalums are really good when used properly. 1) ESR / ripple current rating MUST not be exceeded, creates internal self heating that will lead to internal shorts. 2) Use them for high frequency, low

Re: 453 trouble
As pointed out by others, there are times and places when (at least you think) you need to make a floating measurement (independent of the local ground.) I¡¯ve done this with mapping sonars that are

Re: 422 AC power socket
Agree with Jeff for 422 AC, just look around hardware and you might find one to fit without trimming. I trimmed a couple extension cords for mine.

Re: 453 trouble
A hot chassis can also be caused by RF filter capacitors connected from each side of the line to the chassis. I would be much more suspicious of these if they exist in the 453 than of the

To get rid of interference loops. If two or more grounded instruments are connected together via a signal cable, the resulting loop picks up mains frequency interference (or double frequency - 100Hz

Re: 453 trouble
That would be typical if the chassis is ungrounded. Capacitance between the primary and shield (which is connected to the chassis) in the mains transformer will cause this. First thing to do is
