Re: 7000 ESD Safe dust cleaning?
Forgot to mention - in real anti-static work environments it's common to have grounding leads or other conductors to keep any air or vacuum nozzles from charging. You can do that too easily enough, if

Re: 7000 ESD Safe dust cleaning?
Check the dust with your fingers before going through a lot of effort. On most old gear I've seen, there is a "loose" dust coating that wipes or blows off easily, but underneath there's a gritty hard

TDS540 not booting, "Flashrom header checksum failed"
Hi, I recently picked up the hobby of ( trying to ) repairing old test equipment and got a TDS540. I have been trying to get it to boot up but it is stuck with a flashrom checksum error. It seems

Re: Trouble Getting Screenshots From Tektronix TDS 754D
Hi folks, I wonder if this solution would work with the "Tektronix TDS500/600/700 NVRAM floppy backup and restore tool" posted here

Re: SC503 -12V power supply
I ordered several 2N2219A this morning. Mouser says that I ordered them before, but I can't find them.

Re: 7000 ESD Safe dust cleaning?
Be careful with compressed air. In another device, I broke several thin wires from transformers.

Hello all, Have a 7904A, low SN, 1982, stored for decades. Usual cleaning of switches, contrlols, the CRT, bright and in focus. But all surfaces, PCB, PS, HV, CRT are coated with

Re: Substitute parts for 12au6s on 575 curve tracer
The bigger deal is the doubled current draw. I reckon it -highly- unlikely that a 300mA draw might kill a secondary but I'd be checking things to be sure. Bill @ PEARL, Inc.

Re: Substitute parts for 12au6s on 575 curve tracer
Bill, Anita said someone had put in a power resistor to compensate for the reduction of the number 12V heaters. Voltage checks are/have will/been done to confirm the correct heater voltage across the

Re: Substitute parts for 12au6s on 575 curve tracer
I'm away from home on a laptop and couldn't look at the schematic first (I have a cherry 575 BTW) but even so there must be some brainiac kludge to circumvent the problem, it's simply not that

Re: Substitute parts for 12au6s on 575 curve tracer
Bill, The heaters of the (8) 12AU6s are in series to the 100V supply. A 6V type will not work in this case. Mark

Re: Substitute parts for 12au6s on 575 curve tracer
A 6AU6 is identical to a 12AU6 so why not sub in the 6 volt version and drop 6v across a zener or a resistor. It being a constant current load, either will work.

Re: Trouble Getting Screenshots From Tektronix TDS 754D
Shipping looks like it'll be about 1000yen, but customs is another matter..... I could pack it neatly and label it as 'New Stock' but that might not help depending on how ornery customs is...

Can someone copy one file from DPO7254-DPO7354?
Hi! Can someone please copy file C:\TekScope\calibration\calSPCConst.dat from DPO7254-DPO7354? And send it to me by email. (And console.txt, diag.txt from C:\TekScope\calibration\ )

Ed Thanks for that info about Fetrons. I had never heard of them, but I went and read up about them. Pretty ingenious solution. Menahem

Re: Trouble Getting Screenshots From Tektronix TDS 754D
Thanks Jaret, but I don¡¯t think that will be needed for 2 reasons. 1st shipping form japan to Vietnam (my country) would probably cost more than the 30$ it would cost me to get the USB drive from

Re: Trouble Getting Screenshots From Tektronix TDS 754D
If you need a disk drive, I have some spares that wouldn't be expensive to send as a 'small parcel'. I'll be back in Japan just after new year, so I can test a couple and send you a working one for

Thank for the link to the replacement drive. I re test with a bunch of different floppy disks, even a new sealed one. And it definitely seems like the drive is to blame. I¡¯ll order the replacement

I second the faulty floppy drive in the scope few of the scopes I've had on the bench were a bit flakey. I recently converted my TDS784D and TDS794D to use the Gotek floppy adapters which work
