Re: 7904 problems
Tekscopes troubleshooting rule number 1: Check all the power supply voltages. I recently had a similar problem on a 7904 except my distortion was at at the bottom of the waveforms. Turned out to be

Re: 7904 problems
Morris, I have created a photo album with an image of the distortion I am seeing /g/TekScopes/album?id=272587 Does this look similar to what you are seeing? ¡ª Jeff Dutky

Re: 7904 problems
Bonjour Monsieur Bravo to have acquired several of the great 7904, classic 400 MHz A photo of the screen displaying all aspects will be helpful 1/ shipping damage can ruin delicate CRT deflection

Re: 7904 problems
Here's what I'd do to make a definite diagnosis: Look at the vertical deflection plate voltages. If they look fine, then that pretty much leaves the crt as the only culprit. In that case, there's

Re: 7904 problems
Morris, I understand the desire for this to be something other than a CRT fault, and that¡¯s mainly why I don¡¯t trust my (motivated) reasoning, but what are the chances that some chaotic

Re: 7904 problems
Thanks Jeff, That is indeed very interesting, your description sounds exactly like what I am seeing in the 7904. I certainly hope it's suggestive of something other that a CRT fault. I'll wait and see

Re: 7904 problems
Morris, by shear coincidence I just got a 465B what sounds like the same problem with the CRT: a kink in the traces in the upper half of the screen. I had thought (and still do, until proven

7904 problems
Hi all, I recently picked up a couple of 7904s with a stack of plugins. While most of the plugins are OK, the mainframes have some problems. One of them looks very good but is completely dead despite

Re: Possible Replacement Switch Fingers for 7000 Plugins
Tek had a number of different forms of these pieces. Some have solder posts, and some are made for riveting to the board. Some are just contacts to go from the mount, via the fingers, to the board

Re: New kid on the block...
Tim, Welcome to the group. You said the meter part does not work. If it is dead, the filter electrolytics would be a likely suspect. Something like Nichicon UHE would work. The values can be raised.

Re: Possible Replacement Switch Fingers for 7000 Plugins
Either the P/N or the picture is wrong. The contacts shown are 131-0604-00: http://www.hakanh.com/dl/docs/kitinstructions/040-0541-00.pdf As far as I know there are no other P/N that looks like that.

Re: Tek 2430A failing at power on
Hi, As far as i remember, this type of nvram can actually indicate the low battery condition, by reading some specific addresses in specific sequence by the cpu. Apparently the firmware has this

Re: Tek 2430A failing at power on
Hi Szabolcs, Thank you for these encouraging arguments, I will probably go ahead and order a couple of these NVRAMs as they are not that expensive. One thing though, one of the tests, 4700, mentions a
