Any suggestion for

Re: R7613 to regular 7613 conversion?
OK, the CRT socket wiring interference issue is fixed, and while I had everything opened up I did some fan cooling experiments.
I managed to fit a 3" diameter low (<5/8") profile DC fan in there

Re: TekCATS for DSA
Go to H?kan¡®s download web page. A version is listed immediately below the TEKCATS_11300 listed in the Obsolete Tektronix Softwares. I don¡¯t know if it covers the DSA unit that you have.

Re: Is anyone out there still repairing refurbishing restoring 500 series oscilloscopes?
Thanks John. BTW no scopes were harmed to make the frankie. The scope was entirely constructed from bits and pieces that were recovered from 502¡¯s that were too far gone to salvage.

Bill, I paid a little more for my 556, but it is serial number 122 and has a P11 phosphor CRT. It works rather well and I¡¯ve had it up to 126Mhz but like you say at a diminished amplitude. The R556

Thank you for your comments. The 502 Frankenscope. Is a hybrid. It was made from a 502. The three plugins are from a 561A. They connect directly to the deflection plate pins on the 502 crt. I was

TekCATS for DSA
When I wanted the 11300 version of TekCATS, I used to find that for the DSAs. Now I wish the DSA version but I cannot find it anymore... :)
Can someone help me finding it?

Re: Is anyone out there still repairing refurbishing restoring 500 series oscilloscopes?
I have a very mint 556. Bought it with the original manuals about 15 years ago for 25 bucks at a ham fest (cost me 35 for an 8608 driver tube to get it running right!)
I have lot of plugins for it

Re: Is anyone out there still repairing refurbishing restoring 500 series oscilloscopes?
I was glad to see some 500 interest. I have a 535a, 575, 503, a lack of plugins, and other tek stuff. I used 535a to try and see (barely) the Voyager in outer space slow scan ham radio broadcasts in

The closest to such a document can be found on the last four pages of the 11000-Series Plug-in to Main Frame Interface.
