The document referred to on Tekwiki gives extensive information on the aging of tubes for use when the scopes were manufactured and for sale as replacements. That is done so that the scope will retain

Re: Buying replacement tubes
Most of the criteria listed for tubes from online resellers is nonsense.
The 12AX7 is a popular audio preamp tube, so anything people can imagine

Re: Tek 475.
Ok Michael,
I admit it , I am as they say here a bit on the thick side.
Saw the red boxes on the photo but thought they were part of the schematic.
Did not realise that you had put them there.

Re: Tek 475.
Jim,
You may have already done this, but double check your power supply voltages. I found some of the LVPS resistors on my 475A had drifted badly and my +110 rail was way over voltage. The scope

Re: Tek 475.
Hi Jim,
Tektronix has always been terrible about identifying
these little power filter circuits. I rarely can find
them on any part's layout in the manuals.

Re: Tek 475.
Good morning Michael.
Many thanks for the info/link.
I downloaded it and it is slightly different to mine.
I found the 3, 10 ohm resistors in the +15 volt supply on page 216.
However none of them

Jim,
Page 216 of 293 in the version of the 475 manual that I am looking at. TEKWiki has a couple of versions for that instrument.

Re: Tek 475.
Thanks Michael,
I have a few higher voltage Tants so will use a 35 or 50 volt one.
Can you point me in the direction on the schematic where I can see that
resistor.
Will replace it as well.
