Re: Help with R7903 needed, some success...
TP1635 measures about -30mV.
TP1876 measures about 16.5 volts, should be 7.6 volts.
There were two of those 47uF tantalums on the z-axis board- they checked OK but I figure I might as well get them

Re: 7854: Excessive stored trace brightness.
I have had to bugger around in the readout circuits in my exploits a bit. I
am no expert but a couple of things I have learned (I wish on my own but I

Re: 7854: Excessive stored trace brightness.
The readout problem is straightforward although it may not be easy to

not related to the intensity problem unless Tektronix did

Hi Larry,

Yeah, I've a 7B85 down in the basement. I'll plug things in and
fiddle with them (probably tomorrow) and see what shows up. (Or
doesn't.)

Re: 224 Battery Pack
It should be the same as the 211, 212 scope I think.? There was some discussion on Tekscopes that there are actually two different cup holders that have slightly different dimensions.

Is anyone aware of a supplier for the battery pack or the cells within? I want to sell this scope and would like to suggest to the buyer where a pack might be obtained.

Re: Just got a tek 555 for free, and in need of some advice!
Hi again Robbie,
In answer to your questions, firstly no, you don't have to soak the bearings if you can get them turning. I have found that a lot of gunk collects there in some scopes if they were

Re: 453 EHT and CRT: trouble-shooting advice
Well, as there has been no response, I've bitten the bullet and found that it's fine to power the EHT section with the anode and tube base disconnected.
I think the problem lay in the EHT

Re: Video triggering of 'scopes in general
Some 7B53As have video sync. I have two. Don't really use that feature but they work fine anyway. Might check those manuals as well.
Also, Is that feature good for anything else?

Re: 7854: Excessive stored trace brightness.
Do you have a dual time base, a 7B87, or a 7B80/7B85 (or equivalent)
which you could use to check if the A intensified by B display is
correct?
I wonder if your readout troubles are related. The
