Never to be used GPIB option and power consumption and heat.
My 2465BDM has a GPIB option. I'll never use it; all my other instruments either have no external connection to the world (my computer) or use ethernet. Relative to heat and energy consumption would

Re: In Defense of the 7A19
Hi Dave, I found this book you recommended under the "Concept Series" in tekwiki. It is very helpful and easy to read. Another article, a little more advanced, is on www.tek.com. It goes beyond

Re: Fixing a Tektronix 2246
While you are inside the scope, or at least put it on your to do list (along with a full recap of the power supply as well) might want to visually check all the MB2501 fast recovery rectifier diodes

Re: 2445 woes
Very good thread suggestion on 2465B I didn't know they are so similar to my late 2445B 200MHz version

Re: 2445 woes
One easy trick that may or may not be helpful is to take a video of the screen as you use the exerciser routine to step through all the 256 visible values. If you lose the calibration values in the

Sweep-switching mod for Type CA and 547 ?
from Tim P (UK) I read somewhere (can't find it now ) that there is a mod to enable a CA plugin to use the A / B alternate sweep feature of the 547 scope. Anyone know how it was done? Hakan ? (I

Re: 2445 woes
It is actually 4 electrolytic caps in total on the A5 board that cause the corrosion and need to be replaced. The 4th cap (33uF 10V) is located on the top right side corner of the board (along the

Re: DM502 with problems
Hi Roger, I haven't had a go at cleaning the cam-switches contacts, because I took your advice and re-seated and cleaned the pins of the ICs. The DM502 now seems good. There was a little hiccup when

Re: Fixing a Tektronix 2246
Well I¡¯ll be dipped, it turned out that one end of the main delay line was loose and was preventing the vertical circuit from working. If anyone ever has similar symptoms, check for that!

Re: 2215A repair and restoration [Solved]
Hi all, yes, the 2215A problem is solved... Again! After I fixed the trigger issue it ran happily for about an hour, after that it went PHUFF!! For no obvious reason the power supply went, like

Re: 2445 woes
I have a great deal of sympathy for that attitude. However, I do replace old RIFAs on sight, particularly if they are across 230Vac lines. I've had two 24x5s imitate the old indoor fireworks, within

Re: SC502 Old Enough to Smoke?
So C693 has been replaced with an aluminum electrolytic so I can tell if it pukes, and because I had one leftover from the 2465 repair. So now the +/-20V and +5 are up and running. Unfortunately,

Re: 2465 Project, story so far.
Sorry, I just noticed, I'm not used to this groups IO thing.

Re: 2445 woes
I wholeheartedly agree. I'm so glad I was pointed to this group because people who suggest blanket swap of capacitors are not my sort of thing. I prefer to diagnose the problem by doing measurements,
