Re: RIFA MADNESS!!!
The power dissipated by the wet paper is nearly four times as much for 230 V (*) as for 120 V. So you¡¯ll have a runaway much sooner.
But the problem does exist at 120 V as well, so don¡¯t get too

Re: Tek 2465 stuck in horizontal sweep
Hello,
Your movie strongly suggests the deflection is working perfectly and you have a time base issue.
I would check and clean the time base switch first.

Re: Tek 2465 stuck in horizontal sweep
Good morning,
Yes, X-Y mode is a bit weirdly done on the 2465.
Put the time base knob all CCW to XY;
This way the NOT enabled Ch1 will become the horizontal X input,
If you select(enable) Ch2, that

Re: Tek 2465 stuck in horizontal sweep
Hello gents,
I made additional observations this morning. When cold-started, the display shows all the readouts ok but the trace is stuck on the left side doing nothing, except if I turn the

Re: RIFA MADNESS!!!
Hello: Seems some confusion of self healing caps vs RIFA failure issues. My understanding: .....
1/ "self healing" applies to certain metalized film caps: where failed dielectric spot burns away

That hunker.com item is interesting, but not very technical. And to be frank I'm not sure I trust them when they write: "Nearby lightning can induce voltage spikes, as can a car hitting a telephone

Re: Help required finding a Tek 466 power rail short

a 7400 series chip will draw some current when properly biased, that is, the VCC is plus, and the GND is minus.? This current is drawn by the transistors inside, and is voltage dependent.? Once

Fortunately, they don't remain at zero for long and hold fast once the caps have filled. It is unfortunate that my ESR tester broke just as this story was beginning.
Anyway...

Re: Help required finding a Tek 466 power rail short
The thing to note is if they *stay* shorted.? Ohms measurements rely on current, and charging a capacitor is dumping as much current as possible into a part (reads zero ohms!) until it charges.?

Re: Tek 2465 stuck in horizontal sweep
Note in the measurement conditions page it says you need to set B sweep to 100u/s to see the B sweep waveforms. Is it possible that your measurement of pin 16 is without B-sweep?
Regarding your other

Hi all.
@ Jim Raymond and Renee,
Glad to hear that they are pukka caps. I'm heading back to the store in the next few days to buy a small stock, as they had a tray full and they were relatively

Re: Tek 2465 stuck in horizontal sweep
Hi, just two questions:
If you put it on XY mode (only Ch2 enabled), can you move the dot fully left to right and up to down?
What brand is your U800?

Re: Tek 2465 stuck in horizontal sweep
Hi Ozan,
Thank you for commenting. No, I just checked and I am in normal A sweep. I changed to B-end-A but no change really. I can see the ramp on U800 changing while rotating the hold-off button but

Re: Continuing saga of the 7904
Thanks Roger and Mark,
The trace dims or disappears at slow sweep rates and improves as the sweep is switched to faster speeds. I tried it with a faster signal than the internal calibrator and it did

Re: Tek 2465 stuck in horizontal sweep
Are you sure the scope is not in B-sweep with "B-ends-A" mode? Fully CW position of Hold-off knob sets B-ends-A, does turning it to CCW direction change anything?

Re: Continuing saga of the 7904
Morris,
You asked about replacement TO-3 transistors in the power supply. I have found BUX48A to work well. The originals I have tested have a too low hfe. The hfe too low made the supplies I worked

The two main switching transistors in the 7934 are labeled Q34 and Q40. They are MJE13007 types. I did a little more research on the ONSEMI

Re: Help required finding a Tek 466 power rail short
Hi James55,
This is a transformer based power supply. Take out the dim bulb. Measure for shorts at the out put of every bridge rectifier without powering up. If a short is found, then resolve that.
