Re: Sony/Tektronix 370 : Gray Encoders unexpected value jumps
@ Arie de Muijnck
As bouncing is typically short (~ .5 ... 1 ms) following mechanical action we are talking about 100 pF...1 nF; under 5 V this means .5 to 5 nC which is very low.
If you read me well

Re: OT: The analog computer lives on
Yes, it is stored in mechanical form! Who said storage needed to be digital or tape (paper or mylar)?
Hidden Figures is great, even though there are some location errors in it.? Only we who grew up

Re: Sony/Tektronix 370 : Gray Encoders unexpected value jumps
Don;t do that. Placing a filter cap _directly_ over a contact will cause big discharge currents and will damage the contact. Always use a resistor in between to limit the current.

Re: What caused this on electrolytics in 422?
I also see it on some insulated wire, but not on all the wire. Since it is so selective, I still think the mold theory is best.
I looked at it on a 10x magnifier and still cant tell what the heck

Sony/Tektronix 370 : Gray Encoders unexpected value jumps
When rotating Vert, Horiz and Step/Offset front panel knobs large unexpected jumps in settings occur.
Gray encoders S210-220-230 are unobtainum. Unsoldered the culprits, unmounted the sealed blue

Sony/Tektronix 370 Curve Tracer "drawer" pull-out for servicing
It took me some time to find out, as the service manual does not explicit what the "drawer" is. It appears this is the lower part of the tracer, under the display and upper front panel. It's a slider

Re: SC502 Trace Issues - Beginning and ending of trace connected.
RE SC502 CRT HV Blanking :
likely suspects:
High meg resistors in HV PS, Focus/inten
Scratchy pots focus, astig, inten
Easy to try that first.

Thank you for the informative video Bob. Efforts like that make it more practical to keep these wonderful old instruments going for a while longer. The magic smoke came out of my SC503, going to

Re: What caused this on electrolytics in 422?
I have seen these on my capacitors too. I do not think this is mold. I asked around on other forums, and the unanimous answer was the plastic around the cap degrading. Sort of like the fat that comes

Re: SC502 Trace Issues - Beginning and ending of trace connected.
Barry,
The d-c restorer diodes are on the high voltage board, A5 page <8> in the manual. The 1mfd condensers are on boards A1 and A2. All of this is on page 156-157 when looking at the PDF of the

Re: SC502 Trace Issues - Beginning and ending of trace connected.
I would like to thank Bob for the video! So, thank you Bob! Well done!
I am replacing the following on the A1/A5 board related to the HV supply:
C850, C851, C881, C882, C883, C885, C887, R888

Bob,
Which tantalums are you having to replace under the A5 board?

Looking forward to the video! Thanks!
Those capacitors are actually on the A5 Aux board. I had that board out for cleaning and inspection. I did not check the capacitor values.

Re: SC502 Trace Issues - Beginning and ending of trace connected.
The DC Restorer caps are C881, 2, 3, 5 and 7. They go between the main (A1) board and the HV auxiliary (A5) board. In my experience, they are more likely the problem than the diodes on the A5 board.

Re: 7704A - Readout Stretches Vertically
When I get the vertical amplifier's damaged IC replaced (and the problem is still there), I'll add a picture in the group page.
