Re: Strange Tek2440 issue
Hi, I would first check the power supply. I'm not a big fan of "the universal internet method of fixing everything", that is indiscriminately recapping stuff, but in the case of the 24xx family DSOs,

Re: Reverse part lockups
That's the purpose of the common parts catalogs of which we also got a release and are posted on TekWiki. I don't know if they all are there but they can be scanned and uploaded. Dave

Re: 1S1 sampling unit; (also 7B53AN & 7A18 plugins)
The 1S1 is a fine sampler when it works. It is however what I would call "high strung". It has a way of failing in interesting and completely different ways all the time. It is also not easy to

Re: Strange Tek2440 issue
F269 is soldered but I was able to clip onto L256. A minor amount of ripple that only changed by a few millivolts when I added a 2200uf cap across it. No change when I switch below 200ns. The 5V

Re: Reverse part lockups
Hi Dave, My comments embedded That's true when looking for Tek part numbers. The added value of OCR here would be *reverse* use: "What's the Tek no. of a 2N4275?" Unless the reverse list is available.

Re: Reverse part lockups
I am of the minority opinion here. The file is linear. You grab the scroll bar and scroll to where you need to be. For me it's quick. I'm just waiting for someone to post an OCR'd/searchable file. I

Re: 1S1 sampling unit; (also 7B53AN & 7A18 plugins)
Thanks all for advice. Yes would love to get a 500-series TEK! A 535 (?) in particular, just before the multi-tubed Y amp version. Forgot to mention I have TEK TAS465; HP1640A and Hantek 200MHz

Re: Strange Tek2440 issue
Hey Vince, My bet would be that if you go back to the 5VD supply, you'll find that C455 and/or C262 are shot. CR354 is also a suspect, but the bulk caps on the 5VD supply are the primaries. If you can

Re: Strange Tek2440 issue
Yep, I have a 2430A and a couple of 11402s. I used the 2430A. I checked the + and -5 and the + and -15 volt rails. Sure enough, the +5 volt rail drops exactly 1 volt while it's happening. I'm

Interesting. I'd look at the power supplies, should be easy enough to see what's happening as this is reproducible. Do you have a second digital or storage scope to look at what's happening on the

Re: 1S1 sampling unit; (also 7B53AN & 7A18 plugins)
It might be possible to power a 1S1 from an IO-14 scope but IMO it's deep into "not worth the effort" territory. Do it right and get a Tek mainframe. The 1S1 is a fine sampling system but be aware
