Re: Tektronics Scopes
If you will be considering one of the 224x line of scopes (2245/2245A, 2246/2246A, 2247A, and 2252A), I'd aim for the 2247A model, it has a couple of very useful additional counter/timer features over

Re: 465 Electrolytic Capacitor Replacement
I have used this seller's products for years. They are excellent. Also note that he has added a larger via to allow the use of "snap in" capacitors. This opens up another group of capacitors for your

Re: 465 Electrolytic Capacitor Replacement
Hi Bill, I slip a single ended hacksaw blade just under the cap, and saw off the lugs to remove the cap.? After that, very little heat is needed to remove the nubs from the board. Make sure you do

Re: TM500/5000 plug-in failure modes.
Dave, What about "9A"? Any damage to that trace? Both 9A and 9B are tied to the 33.5 Common return. Are the fuses on the +33.5 Supply the correct "Fast Acting" fuses of the right current rating? I do

Re: 465 Electrolytic Capacitor Replacement
I've never had any problems but I have a Metcal setup. Suitable high end equipment (Pace, Metcal, etc) always helps. Chipquick might be a good way to lower the melting point on those joints and

Re: 465 Electrolytic Capacitor Replacement
I have successfully changed all the caps in one of mine, a a few other as well. I used a fairly powerful iron with a broad and thick tip. That will melt the solder very quickly, especially if you add

465 Electrolytic Capacitor Replacement
Before I jump into replacing the low voltage power supply filter capacitors I wanted to see what technique others have used. My concern is damaging the circuit board. What is the best way to remove

Re: Tektronics Scopes
Alan, If you are unwilling or unable to repair a scope then my first advice would be that when it comes to E-bay, don't buy anything that isn't classified as "New" or "Used". Under E-bay's rules,

Re: Tek 1503C TDR
Hi all, As a first timer here, I thank you for your replies. The enquiry was on behalf of a friend who has a 1503c with a cracked screen, so replacement is his only option. I'll follow up the links

Re: Tektronics Scopes
Hi Alan, The 2246 is quite a nice scope, but a big change from a 465, and maybe more than you need for the kind of work you want to do. In the 2200 series there are some very nice, lower priced scopes

Re: New to Tek 465B operation
Hi Joe, A 10:1 probe is actually the norm, because that's how you get to 100MHz bandwidth. A 1:1 passive probe is fundamentally limited to a small fraction of that (~5MHz for a 1m-long probe). If you
