FS: Tek 206-0104-00 Straight Tips for 6-32 Probes
I have been looking for a few of the long pointed tips for my P6008 low capacitance probe, but nothing popped up until I found someone on ebay selling them in batches of 20. That's way more than I

Re: Recapping Tektronix 2465
Not that I have ever seen. There are some versions of the manual that have two capacitor numbers swapped on the parts diagram... But, if you remove the old, and stuff the new capacitors one at a time,

Re: Recapping Tektronix 2465
Thanks for clarifying that, Chuck. Was there a different model where that was a problem? I seem to recall the issue but don't recall which model(s) were affected. Hopefully I'm not crossing up Tek and

Re: Recapping Tektronix 2465
All of the capacitors on the 2465 supplies have their polarity markers pointing in the same direction. A few are non-polar electrolytics, which don't matter. -Chuck Harris wrote:

Re: Recapping Tektronix 2465
Shielded mains cords just move the noise to the next open spot, which is the unshielded plastic boxes, and unshielded ROMEX wiring used in most USA houses. Better would be to put one of the snap-on

Re: Recapping Tektronix 2465
I don't recall exactly to which model(s) this may apply, but I think one of the 24xx models have the polarity marked incorrectly on the PC board for one of the filter capacitors. Apologies if I have

Tektronix 2205 value as donor?
Hi all, what is an OK functioning Tek 2205 worth in terms of replacement parts? Does it have anything that's worth in order to repair other scopes? I have someone who might give me one of those for

Re: Recapping Tektronix 2465
Ozan, I do know these can be swapped in some manuals. I made sure to change the parts one at a time to make sure. It is good to remind us to keep from blowing parts. Anyone of us can make a mistake

Re: Recapping Tektronix 2465
You may already know but at least in some service manuals component placement diagram shows location of C1132 and C1115 swapped (wrong). This was the case for my 2467B, I assume it also applies to

Re: Recapping Tektronix 2465
iv3ddm C1132 would be 160V. C1120 can be 100V. C1130 would be 160V. If you want to use the original values of capacitance, fine. They can be higher capacitance if you want. C1101 and C1102 would be

Re: Recapping Tektronix 2465
Sorry Mark, I ask for 2 clarifications: I should use 647-ULD2C100MPD1TD (10uF, 160v.) Also instead of 10uF, 100v. (C1120 etc.) or only for C1132? Which are the capacitors where to use of the

Re: Persuading a 7S12 to play nice with a 7934.
It's strange. With a DMM I could not find a connection of 2N2907A-base to any other component in the neighborhood or a A/B contact. But then the pair of NPN transistors with their bases to the B7 and

Your comment about cathode resistors for bias stability will force me to do a little more background checking, but I don't think indirectly-heated cathodes were in production before 1929, so there

Re: How to explain how negative feedback lowers noise?
The reason it didn't happen for electronics until 1927 is that the preoccupation until that point was getting more gain per tube. Positive feedback (Armstrong's regenerative amplifier) was the magic

Re: 2440 and 2465B battery/ram replacement
Hi Mark, I can't help in replacing the RAMs, but I have some experience with the 2440/2432 etc DSOs. Don't be afraid to replace the RAM without saving it's content, it is much easier to get calibrated
