Re: Which would you pick? 454 or 475?
454 or 454A. Sharper trace. Unless, of course, you need every last bit of bandwidth.

Re: High Voltage Probe to work on Scopes.
That's true, as long as you're checking/adjusting. I used my P6015 for both checking/adjusting the power supplies as well as looking at the HV to see what's there if I'm troubleshooting. Plus, it's

Re: Which would you pick? 454 or 475?
The 454A also drifts a lot, compared to later scopes. (And BTW, I think there are some late model 454s with JFET front ends.)

Re: High Voltage Probe to work on Scopes.
Well it is a RCA WG-289 and I didn't replace the shunt resistor so much as add one. I think the probe originally came with shunt resistors in the box but it turns out it was for another probe and

Re: 2246 Mod A main board overloading the SMPS
Tom, I was only able to get enough time to assemble the SMPS into the chassis with just the main board and it runs fine - without the 40W series bulb:). The voltages are a bit off (5.28V, 7.46V etc)

Re: Need help choosing a scope and some other RF capable equipment.
David, A bias tee isn't a big deal at all, but injecting the properly biased RF voltage with the DC and RF currents at workable voltages/currents might be. I think it's an interesting project, from a

Re: Cleaning Tek475A Attenuator Switches
Great job. I did the same thing on my 465 after several months of erratic behavior and several cleanups of contacts. In the end I decided to try the chance, took off modules attenuators, took off

Re: what is the differences between 465 and 465B?
There is a nice article in one of the Tekscopes flyers which covers the updates. If nobody else gets it in the next few hours, I'll see if I can find it and attach it to a new message. I have a

Re: Which would you pick? 454 or 475?
It is funny you should mention that. I told someone on the funwithtubes list that the warm up drift he complained about in the 454 was expected because its Nuvistor based vertical amplifiers are not

Re: 2246 Mod A main board overloading the SMPS
Hi Priya, Resistances were taken on a nice working 2246 with a Fluke 110 which does not have enough voltage to forward bias the diodes. I tried this Fluke meter on some standard diodes and some

Could be. Admittedly all the functionality I have observed is at room temperature here in southern Louisiana. I can but assume they would/may turn quite a bit more brittle at subzero

Re: Which would you pick? 454 or 475?
The 475 is definitely a better scope, but... I really enjoy using the 454. The sharp trace is very, very nice. The thing I like least about it is the DC drift/unstable attenuator balance. You end up

Re: High Voltage Probe to work on Scopes.
Yes, Craig is right. I only use it on a scope for < 100Hz stuff and if I'm *really* desperate since I don't have a better performing high voltage probe. Neil www.gruending.net

Re: what is the differences between 465 and 465B?
There are major differences between the models.? The service manual won't work for both. I have both (although the 465B is a parts unit) and the differences are so much that it's not possible to
