Re: More on my Tektronix 545B
Hi, I followed this discussion for a while. I have a 1A1 manual series no. 20000 up with FETs in the input stages. The circuit between the CH1 input and CH1 output is only supplied by the -150V,

Re: yet more 465M musings, and the evil 434

Re: Spot-O-Gold Connectors
The connector/cable that I was thinking of, one put out by Hughes, was named 'Gold Dot', that name flashed back while reading your mailing. Apparently, that was a reliable connector. The penny

Re: More on my Tektronix 545B
Hi Jose, I would agree that it looks like a power supply problem. You should be able to find the test points for the power supplies on a ceramic strip on the upper chassis toward the rear of the

Hi Jose, there I without Power supply ripple is an uncommon fault in my experience of the 530/540/550 series. It sounds like the 1A1 may be the cause of the problem. There were 2 broad versions

Re: 2235 shadow?
Hi, Jeff, What you have is a normal artifact that is found on any Tek scope that has a CRT with an internal scan expansion mesh. This mesh is in the 485, 465, 475, 7000-series, 2200-series and other

Re: More on my Tektronix 545B
Hi Jose, It looks like the power supply isn't regulating properly and has ripple on it. I'd check the supply lines for ripple if you've got another CRO. Probably either voltage set too

Hi All, I have a 2235 that displays what I can best describe as a shadow on the crt. It is not really a shadow cause it is light rather than dark, but that is the best that I can come up with. The
