Re: 7B50 - No Trace
Hi Ozan, After repairing the connection to S260, I gathered another set of readings. The setup was the same as before (e.g. NORM, EXT, TIMEBASE, LEVEL midway on the negative slope): Base of Q224 :

Re: 7B50 - No Trace
I took the assembly out and tested it and it worked. I put it back in and it doesn't work. I then noticed the solder joint that should have been holding the wire that connects to one of the switch

Re: 7B50 - No Trace
Now I see the description in the manual. Very interesting design, makes sense for PP-Auto mode but probably makes life complicated in non PP-Auto mode. Ozan

Re: 7B50 - No Trace
Comments below. The LEVEL knob does vary that voltage but issues with S260 (see below) may need to be corrected before going further.

Re: 7B50 - No Trace
We expect base voltages of Q234 to change with LEVEL knob (pot) but SLOPE control shouldn't make any difference. Q224 base will be at about trigger input voltage + 0.78V and Q234 base should be

Re: 7B50 - No Trace
Regarding S260, I see now on the schematic that the connector numbers for P260 are shown (3 and 6) so I can follow those and check the switch. Thanks, Barry - N4BUQ

Re: 7B50 - No Trace
Hi Ozan, I'm not sure but I think I may have found problem with the LEVEL/SLOPE control. I checked the base voltage of Q224/Q234 with the SLOPE in + and - mid-positions. In both cases, Q224's base is

Re: TEK 475: Powersupplies repaired, HV CRT circuits fixed (INTENSITY, FOCUS, ASTIGMATISM working) but horizontal Sweep NOT working any more :- (
@ Ozan, Correction: the shorted tantalum was C961 (2.2. uF 20V), fed by a serial resistor of 10 Ohm on the +15V power line.. This shows that such a 10 Ohm series resistor does not protect the tantalum

Re: 7k plugins fault finding outside scope?
John Griessen's flexible extender kit does what you want. I have used them to check out the caps on a 7A26 applying just +/-15V and watching the current consumption.

Re: 7B50 - No Trace
Hi Barry, My comments are below: There is a subtle reason. If you are interested (otherwise skipping is fine): We want to turn off the current to CR262 to see if it goes to low voltage state. With

Everybody: Thanks for your help and suggestions. Dear Ozan, You definitely mentioned C1387 as a potential culprit and helped me locating it (some errors in the manual , hence I could not find it

Re: 7B50 - No Trace
Comments interleaved with readings in brackets below. I presume you want "-" slope so as to disconnect the CQ connection point from the rest of the circuits. TP262's voltage is 11.1V which, if R261 is

Congratulations for the fix Martin. I was guessing in the same area but I don't know if I got it right in my message /g/TekScopes/message/187822 Mystery solved! Ozan

Good find Martin! Not important: In my 475 pdf C1387 is shown correctly I think in location 7D. But despite my new glasses I can't find C1387 in diagram <12>. Albert

Did you check the connections to the plates, as Raymond suggested? Sent from my iThing, so please forgive typos and brevity.

Hi, I managed to repair the CRT circuit of my TEK 475. The screen intensity control and focus, is currently working as I should. I now can create nice, sharp horizontal and vertical lines in the XY
