Re: On screen display and other CRT items....
Unfortunately, the IC vertical designs don't have a thermal compensation adjustment. Again, the 7904 is an example, and my 7904s do suffer from swimming readouts.

Re: 7603 lights, and more about transient protection
Some of the supplies have spark gaps as well as neon lamps - an example is the 7904. I'm not sure if they are to protect the scope from the power line, or to protect the power line from the scope's HV

The 040-0686-01 mod kit for 7600 series plugin lamps uses an LM309K between +8 volts in the mainframe and +5 delivered to the plugin compartments for lamp power. Derating of the range of acceptable

7603 lights, and more about transient protection
No, the plug in lights to NOT light in a 7603 frame, this was intentional, but I don't know the orignal thinking that led to it. 7A26 and similar format vertical plug ins don't need it, and the 7B53A

Re: Question about 7603
Hi Craig, my 7603 doesn't do it either. The backplane has two empty pins, where you could connect some 5V source. I thought about connecting that to the stabilized +5V and to ground. Finally i didn't

Question about 7603
Hi folks Is the 7603 supposed to light up the buttons on the plug-ins? Some of my plug ins definitely have lights installed in the push switch assemblies, but no light emerges. Thanks Craig

Re: Price of Tubes
Don't feel bad about that one Craig. $132 for a pair of 12AU6 - matched Tektronix or not - is foolishness. That's got to be the audio guys again. Phil

Craig, You can call that 'e-bay syndrome'. I have seen 7000 series plug ins reaching $150 while there were similar ones with $10 opening bids without bidders. Regards Miroslav Pokorni

I'm astonished! I was bidding on a NOS pair of Tek 12AU6 tubes on eBay - a matched pair. Nice for my Type L plug in (didn't really need them, but good insurance). I thought that given the price of NOS

Re: Using a 7A16P in a 7904 mainframe
Hello Jose, I believe that 7A16P requires programming through backplane, otherwise it would not work. That is a plug intended for 7612 and 7912. You would need a plain 7A16 (without P). Regards
