Re: Tek 603 - question on transistor heatsinking material
Toby, If it is a hard, brittle ceramic-like slab, it is probably alumina (aluminum oxide). It is a good electrical insulator and a reasonably good thermal conductor. Beryllium oxide looks similar, but

Re: Tek 603 - question on transistor heatsinking material
Toby, I believe that is Mylar. You can find this out for certain in one of the many resources in TekWiki. Most I have seen have some sort of thermal compound. -- Michael Lynch Dardanelle, AR

Re: 2215 CRT problem, PSU filtering?
This is Very Good advice. I would not go into a scope and just replace one of the caps. They all can easily be in a similar condition in the near future. -- Michael Lynch Dardanelle, Arkansas

Re: 2215 CRT problem, PSU filtering?
While in there you might want to replace all the caps that where listed above, so as to future proof the PS section some more. Use nearest value and voltage equal or higher. Modern caps will be

Re: 2215 CRT problem, PSU filtering?
Good news! I replaced the PSU filter caps, and I noticed the 33uF/160V on the 100V PSU output, and it's all good! Looking at the base of this capacitor, it was quite obvious that it was the failed

Re: Tektronix 2230
Hi chipbee40 Thanks for your concern and suggestion. For c906 I had replaced by 100uf 450v type. And now I checked out of the circuit the esr meter shows 98uf and 0.34 esr. Thanks Saroj
