Re: 7704a Scope Issue (not sure how to describe)
Quick update: I've begun looking at the scope, and i have found that the + and - 15v rails are shorted, i'll keep looking at it and let you know what i find.

Re: Firmware 3.1 for 11300
Gianni, You are truly amazing! You produced a stunningly beautiful draft while troubleshooting a completely foreign instrument. Thank you for the chance to examine your draft copy. I shall send a

Re: 7704a Scope Issue (not sure how to describe)
Hi, I recently acquired a 7704A with a similar, if not identical issue. Since keeping it on for a long time was not a good idea, with scope in OFF state I measured resistance of all power supply

Re: Help with 465M blowing mains fuse
Good job! Of the failures I have had with 465M(1) and 465B(3), failed rectifiers seem to be the most common. Not that I have not had many others - main filter caps, shorted dipped tants, failed

Re: Help with 465M blowing mains fuse
I report success. Turned out to be a blown bridge rectifier, CR721, after all. Which is weird, because it tested ok when I pulled it the first time. I guess it was misbehaving under load, but

Re: 7704a Scope Issue (not sure how to describe)
There are diodes in the d-c restorer circuits that will go bad causing the high brightness. Replace them with 1N4937. The two 22meg resistors should be replaced with Vishay VR37 types. The Z board

Re: 7704a Scope Issue (not sure how to describe)
The A version still uses them on the switching PS boards as well as most, if not all, of the other boards. In my latest 7704A, I had one tantalum catch fire on the horizontal amplifier board while I

Re: 7704a Scope Issue (not sure how to describe)
Well, that's both good and bad things showing. The good parts are that's probably why it was free, and the high voltage system is probably OK, leaving hopefully only minor, simple problem(s) like low

Re: 7704a Scope Issue (not sure how to describe)
Lucky... Inability to control the intensity most likely indicates a problem with the Z-Axis circuitry. Note that the Z-Axis board depends on signals from the Logic Board so there are a few places to

7704a Scope Issue (not sure how to describe)
Hi there, i recently found a free tektronix 7704A Oscilloscope, but unfortunately it isn't working properly. When i power it up the only thing that shows up is a very bright (so bright i suspect it

Re: Firmware 3.1 for 11300
I will be honored with a copy. During the 1130x development, I was told that I had psychic debugging skill. It seems to work over a great distance too!

Re: Firmware 3.1 for 11300
Thanks! Without your intuition about the intensity In would not succeed. Interesting: I thought that a strange behavior in the brightness control was a fault of my gear. I order the new EPROMs and

Re: Firmware 3.1 for 11300
That is great news! I am happy that you were able to restore EA function and save another scope. If you are able to update the firmware to 3.1, you will find significant improvements. Version 2.7

Re: R7613 to regular 7613 conversion?
I brought back from the farm my 7603 to see the physical items and layout involved, and also found I have a bunch of saved parts from junking a couple 7603s long ago. The R7613 transplant looks like

Re: FOUND: broken Tektronix WM490f (to 140GHz) and/or WM490d (to 170GHz) mixer(s)
It took 2 versions as I am learning CNC/CAD. jlcpcb. Way way cheaper then north american shops of course. There are issues in my design but - good enough for now.
