Re: 2445 EPROMs
Jeff Dutky: I see MC68A02 and MC68B02 for sale on eBay, could you substitute one of those? I did just that and it worked perfectly. Thanks!

Re: 2432 calibration battery?
Ross, "ways to enable additional Bandwidth for some models"? Would this be for a 2465? How would I find out about this?

Re: Need help diagnosing and repairing a Tektronix 491 Spectrum Analyzer
See if you have a LO feedthrough signal on band B near the left end of the scale. The A and B band use the same number pencil triode oscillator tube and you can swap the b tube in to get the a band

Re: 2432 calibration battery?
Hi, Yes, cal data is stored in the nvram. But I wouldn't worry much about it, as the 2432 is very simple to calibrate. By the time you solve the problem of saving and transferring the calibration data

Re: Dogbone Capacitors
I think Erie made some of them. For those who enjoy restoring boat anchor transmitters such as the Johnson Ranger and Valiant, a temperature compensating version is used in the VFO. They were made

Re: 2445 EPROMs
I do not think Chuck is back - message #163375 was years ago. I see him occasionally in the HP/Agilent group. IMHO it was a great loss for this group.

Re: Dogbone Capacitors
The parts I remember seeing in surplus in the late 1950's, so even older, was a hollow ceramic tube, with a wire at each end of the tube, wrapped around the tube for a couple of turns before the part

Re: Dogbone Capacitors
Fairly common. I have seen them in Collins 51J receivers and in my RCA AR-88 receiver. They are ceramic caps often temperature compensating type. I am drawing a blank on the name of the well known

They were commonly available. I've seen them in audio amps and in FM tuners (temperature-compensated). I managed to buy a few about 15 years ago. EJP

Re: Need Help With Tek 453 Weird Problem
I checked one of my 453s that is above 20,000. The TP voltages in the schematic are right. Check the transistors and diodes in that area. The 3,3mfd condenser could be bad. I have had ones with high

Were the tubular "dogbone" capacitors unique to Tek, or were they a commonly available third-party component in the 60s and 70s? Does anybody have any information on how these were made? Was there a
