Re: Help with diagnosis of Tek 2465 Power Supply Problem
The cross reference table listed on 4 pages before the Schematic 9 are for this purpose. It is pretty easy to locate components on the board and on the schematic this way. I found the scanning quality

Re: Help with diagnosis of Tek 2465 Power Supply Problem
How does current that initially charges C1025 flow? Is it like the following? T1020 PIN4 -- R1020 -- C1025 -- CR1035 -- R1046 -- T1020 PIN6 This is not the only path, but seems the least resistant

Re: Help with diagnosis of Tek 2465 Power Supply Problem
If your ordinary iron is hot enough to melt it, you can remove just about 100% of the existing solder with desoldering wick. --Toby

Re: Help with diagnosis of Tek 2465 Power Supply Problem
Thank you so much Mark. I have replaced a few capacitors that I can tell or measure to be bad. I have not gone systematically, because of the limited supply. I have order a bunch of more generic ones

Re: 7000 plugin socket side covers?
I almost like the idea of replacing them with modern connectors. The current "patient" is a 7514 and I don't know if it's the case with the Main Interface board in that scope, but in my 7704A, I ran

Re: Help Needed - 547 Horizontal Timing/Trace
Hi Stephen, [I didn't (re)read the whole previous repair story.] Are you sure now that the sweep generator itself is not the problem? If A and B sweeps show the same problem then the problem is likely

Re: 7000 plugin socket side covers?
Yes, I had not seen this page either, and nobody mentioned it a few weeks back when I was asking similar questions, so it must be fairly obscure. I'm especially interested in the possibility of

Re: 7000 plugin socket side covers?
As a thought... Would the covers be 3D printable with a resin type of printer? Resin types (allegedly) have much better print resolution, but I don't know if the prints would have sufficient strength.

Re: Saving 576 plots (again)
Since you have all of the "bits" needed with an LCD Display, it would be nice to be able to have an on-board USB Interface and application software with storage and overlays to display it on a desktop

Re: OT+DC was Re: [TekScopes] 2465 Calibration
Yup. My first Oscilloscope was a Tektronix 551 back in 1979. It had 98 Tubes. It had 2 parts. The Oscilloscope and a separate Power Supply. I located the Power Supply under my bench on a step stool.

Re: Saving 576 plots (again)
I think letting the 575 576 577 drift off into oblivion with repairs only, not mods is more like it. What I'm describing is a standalone transistor and tube tester that takes 15 X 10 cm of benchtop

Re: Saving 576 plots (again)
John, In putting in this effort in to a 576, retrofitting it for an LCD display rather than a CRT. A requirement for this project in my mind will be to delete the need for the HV transformer. This

Re: Saving 576 plots (again)
Your earlier idea of using an LCD screen instead of borrowing a scope screen leaves off the electrostatic CRT display and limitations of 60 Hz AC sweeping. Two ADCs are needed, one for V one for I.

I second this I still need to get one of these spun up as well. But Dennis's document is fantastic. Zen

Re: Saving 576 plots (again)
Martin, Depends highly on the digital scope. And the vertical step resolution. I think in the rigol world last time I tried it the best resolution I got on the input is 10's of mV steps. So you would

Re: Saving 576 plots (again)
Bonjour cher Monsieur We have 576 and 577 for decades. ours were from local auction and Ham radio Fleas. Typically shipping them is risky as the CRT and panel controls are easily damaged, sine they

Re: Saving 576 plots (again)
This reminds me of my open hardware project electroporator. It's a pulse generator, (for low power pulses), with an ADC capturing each "shot". There's no need for a knob twister pulse generator like

Re: Saving 576 plots (again)
Why? The 576 has a "ZERO" and "CAL" button, placing the dot in the lower-left or upper-right corner of the graticule. You just have to align the amplification and offset of the scope to match. Of
