Re: PG506 fast rise time
The 284 is a 70ps instrument, so the 1ns reading you report is a measurement of your scope's rise time. When driving a 1ns rise time scope with a 1ns rise time pulse, you would expect to see a 1.4ns

PG506 fast rise time
Having replaced the bad tantalum caps and shorted transistor in my PG506, it's now working in all modes. I replaced all the tantalums on the fast rise board, since one was shorted. However, the rise

Re: Seeking Advice: Is Repairing and Calibrating a Tek 464 Worth the Effort?
Nik, It is worth restoring and calibrating. This is like the others similar to it in that the condensers and some resistors should be replaced. Clean sockets and switches. I have a 466 which is

High-Amplitude High-Frequency Oscillations in 7704A LV Regulator
Hi Barry! Your technique so far is spot-on for troubleshooting, the good board in the troubled scope works. However, it might be useful to put the "bad" board in the good scope, if there are off-board

Seeking Advice: Is Repairing and Calibrating a Tek 464 Worth the Effort?
Hello Tektronix enthusiasts! A few years ago, I snagged a Tek 464 storage oscilloscope for a mere 25€, well aware of some existing issues. Now, I'm reaching out to the seasoned minds here to help

Hi Dave, I looked and for a 151-0136-03, it just states it is selected. Thanks for that reference, though. I didn't realize those parameters were listed there. Barry - N4BUQ

Re: Tek 2445B and 2465B power supply recap and Dallas NVRAM replacements?
Hi Luca, I think 2465B and 2467B share the same supply schematics. Based on my experience with 2467B: - Component diagram may have C1132 and C1115 swapped (wrong). While desoldering take a note of the

Hi all Thanks for all your inputs. I found some Excel sheets about the capacitors and will go through the boards first. Maybe I'll also do the big main board.. I don't trust any late 80s until early

0.5mm pitch lqfp packages I've done, and there is no rework -- you just see the state of it and when all is good, you stop. Use magnifiers -- that can be a luxo lamp with big lens, head mounted
