Re: Tek 2445B and 2465B power supply recap and Dallas NVRAM replacements?
Luca,
I did post a photo of the condenser and resistor list I did for my 2465/B. That is still there with Mouser numbers.
I had the Dallas chip in mine replaced with a FRAM by another exmemeber

Re: Sampling Plug-In Questions
My first thought on reading this was that there's no feedback to the grid.
Then I looked at the schematic again and realized that the DC Offset line ALSO connects the integrator output (which is

Tek 2445B and 2465B power supply recap and Dallas NVRAM replacements?
Hi all
About a year ago you helped me fix a Tek 2236 scope which is doing well ever since, for which I'm thankful.
I'm planning to tackle the refurbishment and / or repair of the 2445B/2465B scopes

Re: Giving up on my Tek 465M- want parts? how should I dispose of this?
To report back- turns out one of our TekScopes forum members lives about 45 minutes from me and drove over to pick the 465M up. He has the skills to repair it... so I'm glad I posted this on this

For an explanation of cargo cult science, see Richard Feynman's excellent book Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman.? As a matter of fact, I was just recommending it to a coworker yesterday.? ? ? ?

From my experience with other scopes from the same era, flash can be written in blocs, but must be erased in full one time, firmware included. The FLUKE 105 for example has three calibration slots,

Re: Sampling Plug-In Questions
Hi Jim,
No, that's not what I've been saying. Storage time, ts, and trr are nearly the same, and in practice may often be taken to be so. The "tail end" is the snap interval. In equation form, trr =

Jim,
This was about what should happen when the nuvistor grid is shorted to GND. In that situation you eliminate the feedback signal to the grid. The integrator output will drift away since with

Some of the old capacitor patents are for chemical compounds introduced in order to stabilize other chemicals by absorbing contamination. They describe how the stabilizer is slowly used up over time.

Re: Sampling Plug-In Questions
Ed,
I think your and my understanding of what goes in a PN junction are pretty much the same. I was just trying to come to an understanding of what "storage time" is, and is it different from trr.
