Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
Chuck, John, The insight into 8085 programming wisdom is very illuminating. I am guessing that the 160-0459 ROM is mapped to $0000 and there are many HALT instructions (hex $76) scattered through the

Does anyone know of a link for the download of the Tek468.zip file, which contains the service ROM bin file? Thanks Tony

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair? Trap and Kernel test procedure
Heitor, What are the symptoms of the two scopes and what have you already identified as problems? Perhaps that would help us figure out ways we can help you. Please keep the symptoms of each scope

Re: Tek 4654M; No Trace, No +5V, No +95V; Help
Harrison, Yes, but that action does not eliminate the rest of U550. There are other circuits in U550 that are powered through that same secondary winding of T550. That winding has 3 taps, so Pin 10

Re: Tek 7854 intermittent issues
Alright, found a spot for -5V and checked it with both a meter and a scope, came out to -5.05V with some funky high frequency noise/ripple around 40 mV for the main body and nearly 100mV counting the

Re: Tek 4654M; No Trace, No +5V, No +95V; Help
Harrison, As I recall, U550 was rather easy to remove. All the pins are somewhat obvious from the trace side of the board since they're slightly larger diameter pins. They desoldered rather easily too

TDS6604 Acquisition Board Replacement
I'm trying to restore a TDS6604 to it's former - hours of fun for the whole family! After a few setbacks (Overheating CPU and a flat battery on the PPC board) I have the scope working 99%. The

Re: Tek 4654M; No Trace, No +5V, No +95V; Help
Hi Michael I confirmed in my shop notes, I did separate U550 and T550 by breaking the connection at T550 pin 10. After doing so F558 blew upon powering up the scope. I was looking at pulling U550.

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
There is one command that halts, 0166 octal, and 255 commands that don't. As I mentioned earlier, a wise programmer salts the unused memory with halts, and makes the 7th interrupt vector contain a

Hi Harrison, After reading your latest post, a light bulb went on. I did a quick search, and found that I still have a NOS U550, P/N 152-0635-00 that I bought on eBay a couple of years ago to fix a

Re: Tek 4654M; No Trace, No +5V, No +95V; Help
Harrison, The problem with U550 is that it does not only contain the 1.5X HV multiplier, it also contains the DC restorer circuits and some other relevant circuitry within the module. If you look at

Re: Tek 4654M; No Trace, No +5V, No +95V; Help
Hi Bert I have pulled a lead on both the C582 (2.2 mF) and the C584 (2.0 mF) caps in the 95V circuit. Both are +50% -10% Spec. The C582 read 2.40 mF Good would be between 3.3 mF and 1.98 mF. The C584

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
The 8085 doesn't halt unless it executes a 166 octal instruction. 000 octal is one of the many NOP instructions, and 377 is a RST7 instruction, which calls the 7th interrupt vector location, and
