Re: Resistor in series
Ah, not so fast, David! You happened to have chosen an example that illustrates a larger point, but not that there was an oversight in a power calculation. First, in my sm, R724 and R725 are not 499

Re: (OT) Where to go for 70s IBM hardware? I'm looking for a terminal.
Actually $1200 is completely reasonable IMO. I sold mine for almost that much 15 years ago and i've seen at least one that sold for almost double that. Like the prices or not but the really unique

Re: Resistor in series
sadly they did make that very mistake quite a few times! Witness the 7904 vertical board ... R724 and R725 (499 Ohm 1/2W) always run way too hot (burnt fingers hot) and are often well off value from

The 465/475 box is an almost exact replica of the original. Modified the mounting to make it easier to install. -- Michael Lynch Dardanelle, AR

I have designed and printed several for the 465-475 etc. I also have printed a stand alone box for 455/475M as well. I can supply an STL for either one. -- Michael Lynch Dardanelle, AR

Re: Anyone willing to make 3D printing of multiplier boxes
encapsulating the HV multipliers is easily done using a "Potting Shell". they are available cheaply off-the-shelf from many vendors, here's two examples: https://www.polycase.com/potting-box?p=2

Anyone willing to make 3D printing of multiplier boxes
I was wondering if anyone was willing to make the boxes for the multipliers so ones that go bad can be made. The box would need the holes for the wires and mounting threads as original. The old epoxy

In a word, no. Anything is possible, I suppose, but asking us to believe that Tek's design team carelessly forgot to check power dissipation is a lot to swallow. This wasn't their first rodeo --

Re: Tektronix 492A input attenuator repair ????
If it does turn out to be a blown attenuator, perhaps the best option is to use an HP attenuator instead (they are much more available). A small bit of logic is needed to remap control signals and
