All of this 7904(A) talk has inspired me to get my 7904A (SNB011071) checked out and calibrated. But I don't have the equipment to do it. Does anyone here do scope calibrations for hire within say

Re: In Defense of the 7A19
Dennis, I would like to learn more about this subject, if Dennis (or anyone else) cares to expand and such an explanation would not require a thesis length document. I have a basic understanding

Re: Advice about buying a 7904
Wouldn't it be possible to use the kludge that I'm sure I wasn't alone in using periodically to "repair" glass fuses? A piece of appropriate fuse-wire was soldered to the end-caps of the blown fuse.

Re: Nice Document Site with Tek manuals; New to me
For the larger circuit diagrams, I simply go to a local print shop and get them to print them on A3 paper. Very cheap, very quick, very simple, and perfectly adequate on the few occasions when I need

---- HP triggering was far Hi Dennis, What was in HP scope's triggering that made it far superior to Tektronix's? I always consider triggering as something very simple in principle, the comparison

Re: Nice Document Site with Tek manuals; New to me
Folks, I have an HP Business 2800 Inkjet which will print out full size Tek or HP schematics as well but I suspect we are more of an exception. However for us with larger printers or monitors, I

Re: Advice about buying a 7904
Sean, Thanks. That fuse looks pretty easy to make with a 3D printer and an electroplater. If someone wants a 3D printer but SWMBO says no, here's a good argument for getting one. "It's a

Re: In Defense of the 7A19
Hi John, I'm sure Tek's 7904/7A19/7B90 introduction was sweet revenge. HP switched to battling for the crown in Portables next but Tek was on solid ground starting with the first 1nSec risetime 485

Re: Nice Document Site with Tek manuals; New to me
Hi Tony, The very reason Tek designed their manuals with large sheets for their schematics was because there is a lot of circuitry on each page. Tek is widely recognized as creating the finest service
