Re: 465B strange ripple
Yes, it's a good idea to have a UPS (or even more than one), for more than just this project.? ? ? ? ? ? Jim Ford?Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Re: Transformation TR503 into TR502
Thanks Ed, I tried to adjust C524 but it is already at the end of the stroke because the frequency increases, but does not decrease. I will try to add a capacitor in parallel to C526 around 10 pF NP0

Re: Tek 485 1MHz calibration signal

Jose, It could be a dirty switch. My 485 had a lot of issues with those switches. It took forever to get both channels to function in all positions and combinations of these switches. Once it was all

Re: Tek 485 1MHz calibration signal

Jose, Tom is correct. If you set the scope as he suggests, you should see a perfect square wave in the 50 Ohm mode. That curved top wave is normal for the 1M Ohm Input.@ 1 MHz calibrator setting. --

Re: Tek 485 1MHz calibration signal

You don't show your setup, so it's hard to say, but I'm guessing it's something simple. Make sure that you are using coax. Make sure that you are in 50 ohm mode. Make sure that the BW limit is not

Re: Transformation TR503 into TR502
Hi Attilio, You're almost there. The 2095 MHz LO should be just fine - remember it's controlled by the crystal oscillator, as long as the PLL is working. So, it looks like you just need to lower the

Tek 485 1MHz calibration signal
#photo-notice
Hi guys, I was checking my 485 against calibration 1kHz and 1MHz signals. - 1kHz is nicely displayed by the scope. - 1Mhz is not giving me a "perfect" square wave. I hooked up my cheap FY32124S

Re: Bad Focus on CRT
Try pushing in the 20MHz bandwidth limit switch. I prefer setting the focus and astigmatism controls with a sine wave displayed and the 20MHz bandwidth switch pushed in. -- Bob Haas

Re: Tektronix 606A that resists being repaired
The beeswax transformers look like they are globbed with beeswax. The epoxy transformers either have a clear to slightly brown milky varnish over the wires and tape, or are molded in brown epoxy.

Re: 465B strange ripple
I'm not at all convinced that this is the way to proceed. Should you consider trying it, make sure that the output voltage and waveform are reasonably OK. Many affordable inverters are lacking in this
