Re: 2465 smoked
It's not only the 2x68nF on the A2. On the A3, you'll find another 4 of these to be replaced. See the overhaul

Re: 2465 smoked
There are RIFA condensers in the power supply on the primary side of the transformer as well. Replace them. I used 630V film types and the X1 types to replace them. Mark

Re: 2465 smoked
My 2445B blew the RIFA caps exactly as you described. Good news is that this is a simple fix. Replace Rifa caps on the AC line input filter. Clean up the mess they left. Search the forum. It has been

Tek A5 from Isle of Guernsey issue
I recently received a 2465B, s/n 126xxx, from Isle of Guernsey in which the A5 had Rev -04 firmware. When I update the firmware to a higher Rev (I tried 06, 08, 11) there is strangeness in the

Re: 2465 smoked
Howie usual for the VDE caps to burn up or explode on a 240V mains but seldom on 120V. No overheating as the event is rapid and the caps are inside the EMI / IEC modules. Also check the LV PSU board

Re: 2465 smoked
I had similar in my HP 8904A: it was (probably RIFA) cap in line filter, integrated inside C14 mains socket.

Hi all, On the heels of success fixing our 2712 (thanks again, Jaap!) I was doing some digital circuit design using all four channels of the 2465 (although I doubt this fact played any role in the

Re: 2712 issue
Hi all, I want to inform the group that Japp is a genius...well, he understands the 2712 as if he had designed it! His experience with his (and other) 271x SA failures was exactly what mine

Re: ESR tester advice
I actually forgot I have a DE-5000 lol. I had to look it up and it recognized it. That is what I use at home. In the lab I use the Reed R5001. Both are great. Regarding utilizing social media,

Re: ESR tester advice
This is certainly beating a dead horse ? by now... I have the DER-EE DE-5000. It seemed really cool, but I've never needed to reach for it, and it's collecting dust right now. I do lots of

Re: ESR tester advice
If it helps further, there is also an old school method to measure ESR quite accurately using a known series sense resistor and a decent 5.5 or 6.5 digit DVM that can measure AC Vrms voltage up to

Re: ESR tester advice
This is a good point actually. I learned a few things about ESR in this thread or brushed up on some concepts I hadn't considered in a while. I bet the OP is thinking "alls I wanted was an ESR meter

Re: ESR tester advice
That can be especially true with some instruments. Some of my HP instruments from the '70s and '80s use capacitors specially built to HP's specifications by Sprague. You can't replace some of those
