Re: Help with 465 repair - no signal on 50mv/100mv/200mv ranges
If the 5V/div range is also faulty, my guess would be the *10 attenuator. Have you tried applying a signal to the faulty channel's input, and using the /other/ channel to follow the signal forward

Re: Uncooperative 7834
When the EHT transformer is connected to the 25kHz HV drive, then pin 13 on the control IC hits 0V pretty much immediately after the inverter starts causing a shutdown after 10mS. Anything below +50mV

Re: Help with 465 repair - no signal on 50mv/100mv/200mv ranges
The fingers are gold plated and looked very clean before I IPA'd them. Is there anything else in the circuit that could be causing the problem? Here is the relevant page from the service manual:

Re: Help with 465 repair - no signal on 50mv/100mv/200mv ranges
Fair enough -if the contacts are gold then there won't be corrosion and IPA is just fine. I've wrestled with lots of silver plated tube sockets and connectors and there Deoxit and NevrDull are really

Re: Help with 465 repair - no signal on 50mv/100mv/200mv ranges
I may be wrong, but if this is in regards to the attenuator fingers, I think they're gold plated so no corrosion should be present and only cleaning with IPA is necessary/recommended. Thanks, Barry -

Re: Help with 465 repair - no signal on 50mv/100mv/200mv ranges
Hi, just clean the contacs of the input attenuator with IPA. There is a video on youtube showing how to clean them on a Tek 485, but that procedure is absolutely the same. -- Best regards, Fred S.

Re: Help with 465 repair - no signal on 50mv/100mv/200mv ranges
If you need to clean switches I don't find Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)does a great job. I use the Deoxit products from CAIG. https://caig.com/ They have products for cleaning switches Deoxit D series and

A better cleaner for pots is Caig Faderlube. It has a little lubricant in it and will not attack the resistance strips. Also works on wire wound pots. Another place to get dry IPA is at a computer

Re: 91% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol to clean potentiometers?
Deoxit D5 or DN5 followed by fader lube is what I do. The D5 gives it a good washout and the fader lube adds some lube hence the lube part of the name.
