Re: 465M
Here is an update: I checked the tube socket and it is clean as a whistle! The U550 in this scope failed a while back in that, the tripler section started blowing the fuse. Since this is not available

Re: Tektronix HC100 plotter on eBay
The shipping has now gone up. It's now $59.70. I used to want one of these printers and they were difficult to find but I think I'm over that now so I'll pass. But FWIW it appears to have both a

Re: Tektronix HC100 plotter on eBay
I'm looking for the GPIB interface board to one. Can swap for the RS232. Getting pens for these is pretty challenging, they're special for this plotter and the way it's designed you can't really use

Re: 7A16A with an unknown modification MOD515D
For many years test equipment had minimal safety requirements. Newer equipment often has "sacrificial" resistors in parts of the circuit that also function as fuses. They often run hot and fail

Tektronix HC100 plotter on eBay
Not sure how popular these HC100 still are - but the price is right... $15.00 plus shipping at $45. Here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254637159546?hash=item3b498eb47a:g:CFYAAOSwd59e1~JH Not me by the way

Re: 7A16A with an unknown modification MOD515D
Actually the manual says these are 0.125 watt. I'm not familiar enough with TRW resistors but that would indeed be under rated. So interesting to say the least. The actual power dissipation would be

Re: 7A16A with an unknown modification MOD515D
Well a half watt would be good enough. I don't know the history of this unit. If you look closely you will see that someone was tweaking the pots. Could of been a slip of the probe.

Re: 465 Electrolytic Capacitor Replacement
The cap cans themselves complete part of the circuits. What I'd do is to get the same value caps that will fit inside the empty cans (or on the bases). The cans can be cut open with a tubing cutter,

If I were in Portland... I'd pick them up. At least one of the tubes was made by the Electron Tube Corporation (an early maker... circa 1948... or multi-beam... CRTs and oscilloscopes... some with

Re: 7A16A with an unknown modification MOD515D
Mark, Obviously this resistor is underrated in wattage. Something like 1 ow 2W would be better. If a resistor looks like this, it should be a higher wattage. I have seen this problem of a overstressed

Re: 7A16A with an unknown modification MOD515D
So I confirmed that this amplifier should work normally when in the local mode. I also confirmed that this mod would only work on a 7704A with MOD 515C. Back to the problem... In general the unit had

Re: Challenging 2465 PS repair
Hi, I bought just the PS, and no scope with it, and yes I ran it on 230VAC, but in this 230VAC part of the world, it is usually the RIFA's in the net entrance that give problems. I already removed

Problem with spamhaus is it would appear that it only takes one email to them saying a domain is a spam source and they block it without investigation. ? D.

One important thing to remember is that CB channels below 24 are NEITHER contiguous nor numerically ordered. So to repurpose these switches, you might set up an LED matrix to show continuity per
