Re: 80E04 sampling module - fair price?
If you do a Google search on "TDS8000" ... and click on 'images'... you will see that... about 90%... of those pictures show the TDS8000 frame sans the 'heads" Now why is that? I reckon... the heads

Re: DSA 602, Still Relevant Today? Untimely response FWIW
Gianni, That post was on 12 December, and you posted that you were expecting the DSA on the 15th. I'm not sure if I'm more disturbed that you found time to lay out 100 pages with text, photographs,

Re: SC503 -12V power supply
I finally got to the bottom of this! A great learning for me. The bottom line is that the Q8051 transistor needs a lot of gain to drive 2n2219A. The original transistor was a PN3565, 151-0341. The

Re: Solder - Tin/Silver or Tin/Lead/Silver?
Hi Richard, The lead free solder does indeed have a higher silver level and a considerably higher melting temperature than the usual silver-bearing leaded variety. In addition to the preferred usage

80E04 sampling module - fair price?
Hi all, After my TDS8000 eBay bargain turned out to be a nicely working unit, I¡¯m now looking for the expensive part, a Tektronix 80E04 sampling head. I know those modules are for sale on sites

Re: Solder - Tin/Silver or Tin/Lead/Silver?
I have used lead free solder with success on the ceramic strips. The solder used was Kester 24-7068-1402 Sn96.5 Ag3.0 Cu0.5. My current understanding is the issue is not the lead it is the LACK of

Re: DSA Histograms
If we're talking about the same thing, it's an overlay of multiple waveforms.? What it shows is how long the transition takes and how uncertain it is (in time), and where the stable part of the

DSA Histograms
Hi, I am playing around with the DSA 602A and I am rather confused by histograms. I could create them, but I cannot imagine a way to make them useful (the manual does not say what they are

Re: unable to adjust 7904 focus amplifier
For the archives: the transistors finally arrived, and replacing Q1769 fixed the 7904 autofocus issue, allowing me to complete all the steps in the Z-axis service procedure. Ironically, the readout

Re: 7000 ESD Safe dust cleaning?
I tried it with a 7704A that was pretty filthy, after reading the article here on scope washing and noticing the photo on the last page is of a 7K scope being washed at the Factory Service

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
