Re: Turbo Encabulator
Thanks, it is fun to watch. One of my favorite components is the dual directly heated gas filled commode diode. It passes all input to ground and must be operated with a septic tank coil in each plate

Re: unable to adjust 7904 focus amplifier
Watching this topic with interest because I have a 7904 with a focus issue as well. Some resistor(s) has (have) drifted, most likely. Symptom is that I have to turn the focus knob fully CCW to get

Re: Tektronix TDS8000 - Backup calibration parameters and other important stuff
I am familiar with TDS7104, I don't know if TDS8000 is similar and if any of the following is true for TDS8000:

Re: Faulty 2465B
Keith,
For the two 39meg resistors (R710 and R910 on page <5>), two of 594-VR37000002005FA1 in series will work. For the 100 meg (R1991 on page <8>), 708-HVA12FA100M or 588-SM104031006FE (check

Re: Faulty 2465B
Keith,
I posted my older list to the photos section. The 100meg can be the radial leaded blue type found on Mouser. I think it is a 3/4W that will directly fit in the original holes.

of course you are right! Should have looked it up first, it's to be declined like 'impetus'! Latin classes decades ago, approx. when my 545B was employed at Siemens Research Labs Munich,
