Re: Trying to save a 576
Ryan, has that CRT been taken? If not, I would be interested, does the screen appear burned? My 576 works, but has a completely dead spot where the intensity was left too high with a static spot

Re: probe.
This is intended for use with some TDS scopes and has a 500MHz bandwidth. So probably ok with a 400MHz scope. They also have a problem which can render them scrap.

Hi All,
I may have done this, but I don't think so: /g/TekScopes/photo/247625/0?p=Created,,,20,2,0,0. Note the cap and resistor are supposed to be soldered to one another, but the

Re: 475 questions
Hi Barry,
That certainly looks like a neat way to handle it! I've already order the disc-shaped ones for this board. As far as I know, there isn't a similar set-up available for the 475, but I like

I had noticed that page of the manual in passing, but did not study it, as I assumed it would be following the same standard used elsewhere. Thank you for pointing out that that is not

Hi Michael,
Very good to hear that Tek has that convention, as it confirms what I thought about how these were oriented before I took them out. Experience is so very valuable when it comes to this

Hi Graham,
I've taken several photos, particularly of the A8 board that I removed to get at the large caps. Forgot to do that with the A7 board, but I noted that the printing on the cap was facing

A quick question for the group. I have a 2465b and have found a p6139a locally in good condition. Is this probe a good match for my scope?

Re: 475 questions
Bruce,
The chart that many people find in a Google search does not cover three band caps correctly. Refer to the TEKTRONIX manual to find the CORRECT method to decode the Tektronix marking system.
