Re: Intermittent power on problems with 2465B
I don't fully understand why one is making such a general anecdotals claims... unless... 1) it is an "err on the side of caution" type admonition. 2) it is on the "recommendation" of some YouTube

Re: Details on 015-0670-00 Feed-Through Adapter for AM503B?
Hmm, so it seems Tektronix (or Tektronix Japan at least) have no info on this part at all, but were more than happy to offer me calibration services, how they could without having access to the

Re: Tek 7904 In Pulse Mode Related to C1511 on LV Regulator
Thanks for the reply Tom. I thought better of the change as well since Tek made a boat load of these with absolutely no change in component value over the lifetime of the instrument. My load board was

Re: Intermittent power on problems with 2465B
I *really* appreciate all the views here. Lots to think about. I am ok with replacing the LVPS e-caps and those x2's too. And it will be good to look at the infamous SMD's on A5. Haven't done that yet

Wes, What kind of signal are you applying to the input(s)?. How is your front panel set up? It could be a simple case of the front panel being set wrong. -- Michael Lynch Dardanelle, AR
