Re: Need Help With Tek 453 Weird Problem
Thanks for doing that. I looked at that whole area and I didn't find any bad components. I have also suspected that maybe C485 (3.3uF) was bad. It tests as open with ESR meter and ha a very funny

Re: 2465 Calibration
Hi Greg, Yes, unfortunately the ER1400 is rather difficult to deal with outside the chassis or without the GPIB option. Programmers to read and write it were far and few between, and virtually

Re: Need Help With Tek 453 Weird Problem
1. Those voltages are correct if you measure when the sweep is trigggered. They revert to the schematic values with a free-runing trace. 2. On my 453 (c 1970) the ripple & noise on the +12V and -12V

Re: 453 trace finder location
Pat; it would be helpful if you could identify which version of the 453 you have. Then, measure & post some DC voltages thro the X amp with the shift control centred. I have spares for these scopes.

I hope not, because if it does it is only visible to those who read the group via email. Those of us who only use the Web interface can never see it. Yes please. EJP

I had to check w/Wikipedia, but it says the open circuit voltage of a mercury cell is 1.35 V, and that they hold their voltage very level for most of their lifetime, so perhaps 1.25 is near end of
