Re: Tantalums cant take surges. (Subject was Aluminium versus Tantalum Electrolytics)
Hello Dennis,
You said: "Tek engineers know this and design for it."
If that is so, how come that there are massive failures of tantalums in 465, 7854 and other scopes.

Re: Make a backup of your TDS5xx/6xx/7xx memories
In the auction the seller does his job trying to sell his merchandise.
If the data in NVRAM are lost you can always resort to a friend with the proper tools for the calibration of the instrument (the

Re: Make a backup of your TDS5xx/6xx/7xx memories
Some oscilloscopes like the 2232 and I would guess the 2224 and 2221A
do not store any calibration information in their NVRAM but do store
the oscilloscope's configuration there. If the backup

Re: Tekronix 310 question
Richard,
Following up on Bob's comments, check if the scope has been modified to silicon diodes, or does it still have the original selenium plate rectifiers? There was a mod kit to convert the

I saw the auction but his statements are contradictory.
He does have a list of scopes that he claims do not keep calibration information in the NVRAMs and he says there is no need to save the contents

Re: Bright dots at start of the trace on a 547
Here is another choice, http://www.fairchildsemi.com/ds/KS/KSA992.pdf? Vcbo =-120V, Ccbo ~ 2-3 pF, Ft ~ 100MHz. (Mouser 7 cents each!) -?George

Re: Bright dots at start of the trace on a 547
Both of the ones I listed are available from Mouser. The 2N5401 and
2N6520 both have a Cob of 6.0pF maximum at 10 and 20 volts
respectively but Cobo falls with Vcb so at 60 volts it will

Re: Make a backup of your TDS5xx/6xx/7xx memories
You all may be interested to know that an Ebay seller of "Tektronix battery modules" has a list of models which (according to Tek, he says) do not store cal constants in either the NVRAM or the

Re: Jumpy trigger control on Tektronics 475
I may have missed it... but did you check all of the low voltages, and the ripple on each of them?

Re: Bright dots at start of the trace on a 547
Looking on eBay now. 2N5401 is 6pF max instead of typical.
NTE2634 looks good although it's a TO-126 package. Only 2pF! $1.38 free shipping.
NTE2502 maybe too.

And we need to see the beginning of the sweep (i.e., the trigger point). Right now, I'm thinking it's off screen. Move the trace horizontally to the right so the sweeps starts about a half a

Is the scope's 10X Magnifier on? I cannot tell from the video. That would make the gitter of the sound card look 10 times worse than it really is.

Re: Bright dots at start of the trace on a 547
MPSA92 is the only through-hole hit at Mouser, but I think Cob is too high.
A couple of SMT parts are 4pF vs 6. FJX99T, 2SA1312, and 2SA1136.

Thanks Larry!
It is amazing what we can learn by following the discussions on Tekscopes. I had no idea that this many transistors were available for higher voltage applications. It will be fun to see

Re: Bright dots at start of the trace on a 547
Hi George,
Those NPN transistors are a nice find!
Thank you for the link to the datasheet.
Is there a PNP version?
I think that is what they are looking for.
