Re: Tek 7904 random redout and noisy pot
The bad C95 sockets I mentioned are easily recognized by the unique profile on the short end as shown on the center picture at the bottom of the Wiki page. If you have those in your scope or TM500

Re: Tektronix 547 Lack of Sweep or Intensity Control
By "buzzing out" I mean using a meter with either a buzzer /continuity or set to ohms to find what wire goes where. The intensity pot wiper - white/yellow stripe wire I think - goes from the front of

Re: Tektronix 7104 - RIFA explosion and replacement
New Rifa caps have the same failure mode as old Rifa caps??? I sure hope that's not true! Does anyone know for sure. Hard to imagine manufacturing steps have not been taken to eliminate that. Mike

Re: Tektronix 7104 - RIFA explosion and replacement
I had to purchase this value (.1uF + 22ohm) recently for a Tek 7912AD repair, and if it helps anyone, the part number to order at Mouser is 80-PMR209MC6100M022. (Assuming you're ok with the risk of

Thanks Mark. Will contact my friend to see if he has the appropriate adapter. Gordon

Re: Tektronix 547 Lack of Sweep or Intensity Control
Thanks Andy, but a bit puzzled by your procedure. My DMM doesn't have a continuity beeper so not sure what you mean by "buzzing out" from the intensity pot. Are we trying to determine if the

Re: Tektronix 7104 - RIFA explosion and replacement
My advise is this: Look up the RIFA parts you are replacing and then use parametric search to find another vendor. RIFAs problem isn't wear out from heating & cooling or "dry out". I left a fresh

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 2432 & 2430A Power up fails
Finally solved! I replaced the battery, that did not clear all the Fail messages but then I forced a cold start (after J156 removed). Then a 'self cal' and an 'ext cal' (the latter needed to apply

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

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
