Re: TEK465 Horizontal trace
He does, according to the legend with the image showing the glass seal with the leads protruding. Of course, that's got nothing to do with passivation of the chip inside, apart from providing a

Re: 0.25R resistor in calibrator ground
My guess would be to save the calibrator from a backed signal (feeding an external signal into the calibrator, AC or DC). Don Bitters

Re: 0.25R resistor in calibrator ground
?Exactly. High-gain plugins (Type B, D, etc) were seeing hum on the calibrator. The resistor made the bottom ranges usable. In the 535 Mod Summary, it's Mod #1412, effective S/N 5001. Dave Wise My

I found a set of 4 on eBay that are supposed to be NOS and tested good: https://www.ebay.com/itm/313344479069 These match what's called out in the SN<250K service manual: 152-0125-00, 4.7mA, 15pF. Not

Re: TEK465 Horizontal trace
?Dave P, that bottom view of a TO-72 is only epoxy sealing the annular joint between header and can. If that's a Silicon transistor, most likely the can is full of inert gas and the die is passivated

Re: Recapping the 535 HV (was Re: 535A HV issue)
ADDENDUM Grid/Feedback/Cathode caps that are short enough to lie on their backs can be installed that way. The baseplate is 70mm wide. T1 is 26mm + 3mm for wire bends. The feedback resistor string is

Re: TEK465 Horizontal trace
Dave, I've had a search through the CDPC (Common Design Parts Catalog) for the tunnel diodes (Tek PN 151-0386-00) in the 465. The service manual says that they are selected from 1N3718, but the Tek

Re: Persuading a 7S12 to play nice with a 7934.
Yes, the intensity modulation of the 7A26 trace by the dot-blanking leakage is only noticeable when looking at a signal which is related in frequency to the 7S12 sweep. In my example, I'm looking at

I was going to offer to send you the "same device" from a 453, only to discover that it's a 2n3441, i.e. smaller TO 66 case! (The 453 has a shunt resistor across the transistor which is either to

0.25R resistor in calibrator ground
I've just noticed something odd about the calibrator outputs on my 535A scope and 127 plugin power supply. They both have a 0.25R resistor in series with the calibrator socket's ground connection. The
