Re: Trying to save a 576
Hello, on the risk of sounding like a broken record: please hang onto the DANAHER 576, 577 and 575 instruments with damaged screens. Tamoggemon Holding k.s. currently is not in a position to make a

Re: Trying to save a 576
One more thing - it's possible that the intensity and focus pot string resistors have drifted way out of spec. Depending on the circuit and drift direction, you may not have enough range for intensity

Re: Trying to save a 576
You may want to check that "intensify pulse" thing and circuitry to be sure it's working right. I don't recall if it should be active except in pulse mode. Speaking of which, are you sure you have the

Re: Trying to save a 576
Hello, I have a 154-0563-05 CRT which came from the estate of a Tek collector.? I don't have a 576 so it's of no use to me.? You can have it for the cost of shipping from 97229 and take the gamble

Re: 577 D1 function won't turn off
Thanks for the tips, and I will try the storage calibration when I get a moment. Incidentally, I also have some analog storage Tek scopes ¡ª a 549, a 7623, and a 564. The 549 is in excellent

Re: 577 D1 function won't turn off
Hi Dave, I have probably used at least fifty Tek scopes in my lifetime but fewer than five storage scopes or curve tracers. The first time I tried using storage was on an almost new 549 in 1968. I

Re: Trying to save a 576
Dennis, no other instrument used the 154-0563-xx CRT, unfortunately.

Re: Trying to save a 576
You can set the mains input selector to the LOW position. This will increase the CRT filament voltage somewhat, and will increase the brightness at least a little. It also increases the LV regulator

Re: Trying to save a 576
Hi Eric, The 576 is a very valuable curve tracer. I may be possible to locate a replacement CRT from another instrument. It uses a 154-0563-00 in serial numbers below B060000 and a 154-0563-01 in

Re: 577 D1 function won't turn off
It is a used CRT that the previous owner was told was extracted from a working unit, though ¡°working¡± may or may not have included storage. The previous owner of my 577 didn¡¯t know. And

Trying to save a 576
Got a 576 that was supposed to be in working order but it seems it is not even close. After rebuilding the collector supply, I managed to get sweep again on the tube but the tube is VERY dim. I have a

Re: 577 D1 function won't turn off
Hi Dave, Was the replacement CRT a new CRT? If not new how do you know it was any good in the first place? Dennis Tillman W7PF <SNIP>

Re: 577 D1 function won't turn off
Dave, Yes, I believe that this is exactly what you are experiencing. According to the Service manual, replacing the CRT will require the Storage circuit to be adjusted to match the characteristics

Re: 577 D1 function won't turn off
I have a 577 D1 that came with the original but weak CRT installed and a replacement CRT in a box. Storage mode on the original weak CRT worked well, but the primary trace was almost too dim to see.

Re: 577 D1 function won't turn off
Hi DW, I have a 577 D1 which has similar behavior but not as bad as you described. There is an adjustment procedure in the service manual that will, in theory, bring the storage back into proper

Re: 577 D1 function won't turn off
I would certainly check that the store/non store switch is actually latching and unlatching properly. This may seem obvious, however, I have seen many of these type of switches that were gummed up

This 577 is a D1 version, the ability to temporary hold display information in a analog format which is actually quite neat. This feature appears to be fully function when I want to use it, the

Re: TDS 5104 back up battery
Matti, The only battery I know of in the TDS-5104 is the cmos back on the PC mother board. If you don't have the maintenance manuals from the TEK website get them. There's 1 screw on the top cover
