Re: Adjusting a 7A13, and a few other questions
The better capacitors are needed for switching power supplies so there
was not a lot of consumer demand for them back when the 7A13 was
produced. Aluminum electrolytics are a lot better than they

Re: Tektronix 549
Hi Ken-
It's a cool instrument. It's the only storage mainframe for letter and 1 series plug-in units. When running a 1L5 at slow, high resolution sweeps, it can be indispensable!
Basically, when

Re: Rigol 1102E vs. 2430A vs. 2440?
I considered the same question a couple years ago and went with a 2440
because the Rigol lacks peak detection. They have envelope detection
which they call peak detection but that is not the same.

Rigol 1102E vs. 2430A vs. 2440?
The first step in getting help is to admit you have a problem. I have multiple scope disorder. There I said it. As I write this, there are at least ten Tek scopes around me fighting for space. (I

Re: Tektronix 549
Thanks Keith:
My next door neighbor has the scope at his business. He hasn't used it for years and it is gathering dust there. I'll have to help haul it out of there as it's too heavy for him to

Re: Help! Tek 2235 Signal on Ch1 appears on Ch2
Hi John,
The power supply voltages look good. -8.59, 5.2V, 8.62V, 30.07V, 102V
I checked the voltages around U130 and U180 and they appear to be as stated on the schematic.
I did verify that the

Re: Tektronix 549
Hi Ken,
?
I have eight Tek. 549 Scopes. I had six and just?got two more in a lot of scopes I picked up.
I also have a spare good used CRT + a new in the box CRT.

I just finished up three Tek. 555

Re: Adjusting a 7A13, and a few other questions
Thanks David, I saw the post but missed the logic on which was good and why.
(as well as 2 of the links via "speed reading" I guess...sigh...)....
Anyway, much appreciated..
I do not remember the ESR

Re: Adjusting a 7A13, and a few other questions
Those wet slug tantalums are considered high reliability, wide
temperature range, low noise, low leakage, and low impedance
capacitors. They have higher ripple current ratings and lower
impedance

Re: Adjusting a 7A13, and a few other questions
Hello, Rob/Keith and the group--
If the tantalum capacitor were used in a timing circuit, I'd
go with an exact replacement, but since it's used as a
power-line filter, a modern electrolytic capacitor

Re: Adjusting a 7A13, and a few other questions
So David- what are the practical differences between these types of caps that you mention? Echoing Rob's question here- especially in this case where this C505 is simply a supply cap, does it need

Re: Adjusting a 7A13, and a few other questions
I mentioned a couple of replacements for this capacitor in my earlier
post.
The capacitor in this case is used for bulk power supply decoupling so
low ESR and ESL is important while leakage is

Re: Tektronix 549
There is a very recent thread comparing the 549 to the 564. Go back just a few days to read it.
The 549 introduced a new type of phosphor for bistable storage that has much faster writing rate

Re: Tek IC clone possible?
In addition to its logic diagram, you need to look at the circuit it is used in.
Because Tek made ICs are single sourced, Tek engineers could rely on parameters that are typically "unspecified" as

Hello, Keith and the group--
That's a so-called "wet slug" tantalum capacitor. Its clear outer
jacket is yellowed, likely due to overheating.
