Re: Tektronix 7104 - RIFA explosion and replacement
They are usually 47nF+47R or 100nF+100R or 47nF+100R. I use all three indiscriminately according to availability. I can¡¯t see that it matters much.

Tektronix 7104 - RIFA explosion and replacement
All, Well, it finally happened - POP! - sizzle, sizzle. My fine 7104 blew its RIFA capacitor in a loud manner, and I know, I should have replaced it sooner. I found what's left of the RIFA in the

Re: Tek 7904 random redout and noisy pot
Hakan, After knowing about the socket problem, is it best as PM to do a sweep of the sockets in the scopes and plugins? Is there a point where the sockets were better so replacing would not be needed?

Re: Tek 7904 random redout and noisy pot
While you are at it check if they are the bad TI C95 sockets. They are trouble waiting to happen. Some spray might help but probably only for a short time.

Re: Tek 7904 random redout and noisy pot
I'd try taking the knobs off and spraying Faderlube down the shaft before disassembling it, and I'd also try that from the exterior and see if it'll wick through any gaps. For garbage and missing

Re: Tek 7904 random redout and noisy pot
Roger, You may have to, unsolder the leads from the diodes from the rear wafer, loosen the nuts on the rear of the switch enough to keep them on, loosen the nut for the pot, move the pot back enough

Re: 7A13 overshoot
Looking again: the offending relay was K490, which is the bandpass limiting relay; I misread the numbers on the board since I wasn't using a flashlight. From the description and schematic, K480

I had opened an older version of the schematic which doesn't have that relay. I see it now on the later versions. Apologies for the interruption. Barry - N4BUQ

Re: 7A13 overshoot
Hi Adam, Was that, perhaps, K48 or K490? I don't see a K480 but I might be looking at a different version of the manual. Glad you found/fixed it. Those relays are definitely a pain. Barry - N4BUQ
