Re: VintageTEK demo boards are back
Please point to where this demo board is described. What does it do? I could not find it on the Tek museum website.When you say? "Watch the store," what store? Do you mean the Tek Museum eBay store?

Re: VintageTEK demo boards are back
We have inventory for another set of 25 and will begin building. Watch the store. We didn't expect this amount of demand and have a lot of shipping to tend to this week.

Re: Tek CT-6 current probe
That should work. You can experiment with different cores easily and see how they measure up. Ed

Re: VintageTEK demo boards are back
I plan to build 25 more demo boards for the museum in the next couple of weeks, and will post here when they are available again.

Re: VintageTEK demo boards are back
Since the last run of 25 sold out, I suspect they will plan to make some more of them. Being an all volunteer organization, it might not happen as quickly as some might like.
I bought mine some years

Re: Tek 453
The sine wave is a sawtooth on the screen. The modulation is in the Z axis. These two make it sound like ripple in the power supply. I have worked on these and found most of the 1mfd axial tantalums

Hello I recently picked up a 453. When triggered on a sine wave it seems to flicker. Interestingly it will stop flickering when i reduce the time to a certain point. Wondering if someone can point me

Re: VintageTEK demo boards are back
I just went to the ebay link, and it still shows "out of stock" and no way to order it...
I would like to get one of these boards, or at least the programmed Atmel chip or a source code listing for

Re: 2430A no display
Hi Mark.
I've only been running the scope out of the case long enough for the display to be shown but I do have some good thermal paste so I'll take your advice on that one, although who knows what

Tek CT-6 current probe
These are crazy expensive for what they are — even second hand and out of calibration.
As far as I can guess the CT-6 current probe is just a moulded miniature toroid with 10 turns of thin wire

Re: unresponsive 492; possible memory issue
The garbage is back. Some idiot had bent a pin while plugging one of the storage boards back in. Photo here; there is a dot moving very slowly across the horizontal line, and the line can be moved up

Re: 2430A no display
James,
You should know to fan cool the CCD IC on the bottom when out of the case. These run hot. Use a good compound to help with heat transfer from the IC to the heatsink, like MX-4 compound. This

unresponsive 492; possible memory issue
I picked up a 492 recently, shown with a trace in the listing photos, so figured it would be at least partially working. Unfortunately, when it arrived the CRT was broken (thanks to not-so-great

Re: 2430A no display

2430A no display
Hi everyone.
Hoping that someone might have encountered this before.
So after the 492 repair, I picked up a nice, clean 2430A which was dead.
Including the Rifas, the power supply board had 10

Re: VintageTEK demo boards are back
Yup, I wanted to check out my 2465 X-Y mode operation before I bought one, and now it's too late. :( Anyway, I verified that it should work with the 2465 - IF you enable X-Y mode properly. And that
