Re: Type 106 Saga (Again)
David, Albert, I will make some more measurements later on. My unit never had that issue you both experienced. It started up right away when it was working. I remember measuring between R55 and

Re: Help required finding a Tek 466 power rail short
It will almost certainly be a shorted blue-drop (or yellow-drop) tantalum capacitor. That's what usually brings down a 465/466/475 and various 7K series and TM series plugins with the symptom of a

Re: Type 106 Saga (Again)
David, I noticed the same in my 106. Stephen, just for comparison: Setting 10 kHz, "A" = Vk = -40 V, output in 50R is 2 Vpp . Then Vgk is almost square wave between -1.5 V and -15 V. Albert

Re: Help required finding a Tek 466 power rail short
ok, the standard way of testing scope power faults is as follows: 1) determine if you have a linear or a switching supply.? For the 466, I think it's going to be linear. 2) 0 volts or fuses blowing

Re: Type 106 Saga (Again)
The EL84¡¯s should be getting plenty of drive on their control grids. Go back along the signal chain from there to the multivibrator. On my own instrument, after power-on, sometimes it doesn¡¯t

Re: Type 106 Saga (Again)
Albert, You¡¯re probably right. Hence the zero volt output measured on all 3. The question is why did they stop conducting all of a sudden, whereas the unit was working perfectly the day before,

Re: Type 106 Saga (Again)
Stephen, the ripple sizes in your pictures are only a fraction of what I see in my working 106. Perhaps they are so small because the 4 tubes never conduct. Even with almost exhausted tubes you should

Re: Type 106 Saga (Again)
I¡¯ve rechecked all the tubes, and they still read very strong on my HealthKit tester. Since a I had a quad of EL84¡¯s laying around, I replaced all of them as precaution. They¡¯re not brand new,

Re: FG503/FG504 Distortion Analyzer
Ideally if you have "diode check" mode on your DVM that is what you need to use with the transistor off but all indications point to a faulty A2Q9. For now you can use widely available 2N3906 to get

Re: Type 106 Saga (Again)
To work with 6BQ5/7189, a minor wiring change is needed. Pins 1 and 6 are ¡°unspecified internal connection¡± while the corresponding 7189A pins are explicitly G1 and G2 respectively. On all four

Re: FG503/FG504 Distortion Analyzer
Hi Ozan, I checked both A2Q8 and A2Q9 with my checker and they both gave B of about 78 and uG at 752. I'm guessing that these show the transistors to be OK, but I am definitely rusty on this stuff - I

Hmmm. I have left it on a few times for quite a long time¡­ Mine doesn¡¯t have 7189A¡¯s. It has old Philips EL84¡¯s which read very strong. But I¡¯ll check them again when I get back. I¡¯ll

Re: Type 106 Saga (Again)
In Fast Rise mode, the output tubes provide base drive to the Fast Rise circuit. See SW242A on the schematic. SW242B bypasses the AMPLITUDE control in Fast Rise mode, jamming it to maximum. So
