Re: TDS544A with strange display

Unfortunately, I don't think you can gracefully remove the filter and really look at the CRT. Assuming that you have three color filters (the older TEK stuff used two), then what happens if you select

Re: I built a TM500 mainframe tester, and updated the design. Someone might find this useful?
I'm just getting around to assembling my test module and at first assumed the -15V binding post was intended to be white and the meter connections red and black. But then I noticed the meter (-)

Re: SC502 looking for a replacement of dual 6-pin FET in input stage
Hi Martin, You can look at Tektronix parts cross-reference: https://www.sphere.bc.ca/download/tek_xref_free.zip It's on page 7-7. Looks like it's a dual "same package" but not matched as there is no

SC502 looking for a replacement of dual 6-pin FET in input stage
Hi all, I managed to shot one channel of my SC502 when repairing an old TV set. It seems the victim is a dual FET in the input differential amplifier with TEK part number 151-1031-00. To confirm its

Re: To Beeswax or not to Beeswax: that is the question.
Hi JP: Yes. Ozone is very reactive and corrosive. I think the idea of using "beeswax" is that... being a "wax" that melts at low temperatures... and perhaps having some properties that absorb ozone

Re: TDS544A with strange display

I think that the way that the shutter works is to apply one of three filters (R/G/B) to the white CRT image. To get a white image you have three frames of the same illuminated image with all three

Re: Tek 2230 psu story (work in progress)
About 12 years ago I repaired a 2213A power supply and the main problem was T948. So basically yes, you are probably correct in your assumption that your T948 is bad as well, as it has happened

Re: 7603 horizontal performance
Minor (moot) point: The 7B85 is a *delaying* time base: It generates the delay time for a 7B80 time base. Because the 7603 accepts only one time base (horizontally), a 7B80 would do the job just as
