Re: S-52 only works with lowered +15 V power supply
Work still in progress. Yesterday I put a normal metal film resistor in parallel with the other two (R65/R68). Measured total resistance now is 1,33 ohm. OK. Behavior is almost unchanged. With +15 V

Re: 7603 HV oscillator doesn¡¯t start up
It isn't that they were selected, the 2N3055 devices at the time were all homotaxial and had low beta compared to more modern versions. Even with this in play some HV circuits were cranky and wouldn't

Re: Wikipedia is not an appropriate topic for TekScopes. WAS repair tools: Autotransformers/variacs
I'm against it. We've got the curated (and excellent) Tekwiki. Marketing campaigns don't belong on any of the wikis.

Re: Tektronix 2230
Hi Bert OK it means in my case t906. Do you have the schematic for 2230 so that we can confirm the transformer. Thanks.

Re: Tektronix 2230
No, I mean the HV supply, the one that runs off the input AC and supplies the +40V. Shorted turns make it draw too much current.

Re: Tektronix 2230
Hi Bert Thanks for your concern and suggestion. But it operates normally with external power supply (in my case I used 38v dc across tp950 and tp940). Saroj

Would be nice if more Tektronix related information was on Wikipedia. Thinking I can make a Tekwiki wiki on Wikipedia and maybe add on the Tektronix Wikipedia Wiki also. Looks like the following

Re: Tek 564 on DFW Craigslist for cost + shipping
I am interested in the scope. I have a Fedex account, so if you can drop it off at one of their locations I can take care of the shipping costs from my end. I have a specific use for the scope and it

I don't need it, but I figure I'll rescue it later today as I'll be in that neighborhood. He wants $25. You can have it for that plus whatever actual shipping is to you. I'll box it up and weigh it as

Re: S-52 only works with lowered +15 V power supply
Hi Max, I think the extra 3.9 ohm helps a tiny bit (makes the snap-off current to the TD somewhat stronger) but in my opinion its not the problem. Since at 15.5 V I suspected a wrong state of Q86/Q88
