Re: Is there an alternative to the 151-0703-00 NPN's from the 492 power supply board?
If anyone is interested, just an update to say that the -15v problem is located on the A62 Video Amplifier board.
With that board removed the CRT and controls come back to life with crisp details.

Hi Dominic.
I'm in Brazil, and this this weighs more than the plane needed to fly it across the Atlantic.
Good luck though with your projects.

Re: No Power, 2246 Oscilloscope
UPDATE: Fixed. Shorted rectifier, -15V supply.
Feel like I got a real bargain. $99, included shipping.

No Power, 2246 Oscilloscope
Hello all
I just picked up a 2246 scope that won't power up.
Although I'm a very experienced tech, thought I would ask for any common SMPS faults before digging in further.

So,
reassembled and turned on, the unit fires up, or at least all lights and scale illumination light up, before leaving three led's and the scale illumination on, but nothing else. No response

Re: 2232 Oscilloscope question(s)
Hi Bob and Mark,
Thanks for the feedback.
OK on PSU capping, might spend the dollars and give it a fresh start.
OK on 2 x 4 way ribbons, makes total sense. Just read storage board latch and analog

Re: 2784
Jurgen,
Since the fuses are blown, check the solid state devices in the power supply. Replacing the condensers in the power supply is a good idea. Use high temp, low ESR and long life types like

Re: 2232 Oscilloscope question(s)
Hi Gerald,
The PSU heat is dissipated, when in the case, by the screw through the case making a thermal connection to the outer case. Maybe not the best idea Tek had, but it works.

In that case... Excellent!
This thing was picked up very cheap at the flea market and have no idea as to it's history, however it does seem to be complete, so let's see what happens with the PSU

James,
The neons are there to help discharge the condensers when it is turned off. When on, the limiting resistor makes the combination of the R and Ne a relaxation oscillator. These blinking when on

Replacing the condensers in the power supply may make the temperature drop. The originals likely will be 85C. Nichicon UHE and UCY for the 100V supply are excellent replacements. Raising the

Quick progress report;
..is that with the unit open on the bench, and with two 2SC4430's (the BUV48A's were overpriced in the shop) in place of the 151-0703-00's then the voltage rails are once

Hi Albert.
If I was fairly confident that I had the correct pin-out, you've made me certain.
Many thanks
