Re: 7104 Horizontal Amplifier
So I received my $137 "for parts" 7104 today. Aside from some dents and a slightly dim readout, I can't find a thing wrong with it. It was sold without plugins, so maybe the seller didn't have any

Re: Variac's
I use both, a Variac and a "Dim Bulb" tester. Sort of a belt and suspenders approach, but it works! Of course you need to stock up on 100 watt bulbs while you can still find them! Just Google "Dim

Re: Need part 2232 CRT and source for a tube
Hi Tom, That's what I read somewhere, that the -00 tube was for the early units. The one in my scope is the -10 and it does not have the mesh. At least it is not brought out on pin 12 like in the

Re: Variac's
Use of a Variac with old tube equipment is to protect the power transformer as mush as possible. Vintage equipment, especially antique radios and test equipment, many times have unique power

Re: Need part 2232 CRT and source for a tube [1 Attachment]
Hi Tom, I think the CRT for your 2232 is identical to the one in a 2215A (154-0861-00), unless you have one of those late 2232's that has the shorter HV lead on the CRT (154-0861-10). The HV

Re: Need part 2232 CRT and source for a tube
It looks like the tube has a factory defect where they failed to weld the pin 5 lead to the strap going to the astig element. I wonder if there is any way to externally weld it? Induction welding,

Re: Variac's
Keep an eye on your local Craigslist. I found a cheap authentic Variac from a ham radio operator. But something to consider about used Variacs is that the brush can be worn out, and it's a tough part

Re: Possible P6042 part...
The probe transformer is easy to damage. It's sensitive to physical shock. When you can't balance out the DC on low ranges, it's very likely that the Hall sensor has been damaged somehow. Can't be

Re: Variacs - Voltac / Yokoyama / Matsunaga
I have never seen an original Variac. In the 1980s I bought a new Voltac - by Yokoyama Electric Works Ltd (not Yokohama). This is a 240V 300VA Type B-1, with output to 260V. (Australian mains power is

Here's a little reading material. It'll help you understand why using terminators and matching impedance, plus using attenuators, is a good thing. http://www.dkdinst.com/articles/atten.html
