Barry,

If you mean the plastic guide that surrounds the connector, I believe I
have some non-broken ones. I parted out several 7000-series plug-ins that I
bought for parts because it looked like someone had run over them across
the middle.

Let me know and how many. If I have enough, you can have them for the
postage.

Steve Horii

Anyone know of a source for the plastic guides at the back of a 7000 plugin? I have a few that are broken and would like to get those fixed. I don't remember where I saw it, but I did see what appeared to be an "aftermarket" guide that might have been SLT-made (it was a bit translucent and the edges didn't appear to be as rounded, etc. If someone has made the STL file, then that might be an option (although a fairly expensive one I'm afraid).

Thanks,

From my notes, source unknown , here are typical contact cleaner contents:..

1, 1-Difluoroethane (CAS 75-37-6) the propellant gas like refregarant

White mineral oil (CAS 8042-47-5)

Poly Dimethyl Siloxane (CAS 63148-62-9)

The silicone allows for reducing viscosity under pressure, like a contact wiper.

Thixotropy?is a time-dependent?shear thinning?property. Certain gels or fluids that are thick or viscous under static conditions will flow (become thinner, less viscous) over time when shaken, agitated, shear-stressed, or otherwise stressed (time dependent viscosity).

Bill,

I would be interested in one of these instruments. It would partially fill the low-frequency hole left by my TinySA (which bottoms out at 100 kHz).

Looking at the TekWiki they show a picture of the 011 that has five knobs in a V-formation on the front panel, with V POS and VIDEO FILTER knobs flanking large CENTER FREQUENCY knob at the base of the V, the input BNC on the left flanking the two DISPERSION and RESOLUTION knobs in the middle of the V, and two knobs (ATTENUATOR and SCALE EXPANSION) at the top. The manual PDF, however, shows a distinctly different layout for the 011 front panel: six knobs in an inverted triangle, with the input BNC flanking the large CENTER FREQUENCY knob at the bottom vertex, an OSC OUT BNC flanking the two knobs in the middle (DISPERSION and RESOLUTION), and three knobs at the top (ATTENUATOR DB, ATTENUATOR RANGE-DB, and VERNIER GAIN), so it certainly appears that there were several different front panel layouts.

On further examination of the photo on the TekWiki it looks like the ATTENUATOR DB and ATTENUATOR RANGE-DB knobs from the illustration in the manual were combined into the ATTENUATOR knob at some point, so it seems like you may have examples of both versions.

Equiptek labs makes an USB interface for the 576. I don't know if they sell it separately but they do sell converted units.
Youtube video showing one..

they will someday. maybe when we are all gone and a "yet to be borner" wants to debug a tek scope.

Uh, they make M1.6 up to 20mm. Please learn to click buttons on a website.

Why do you even ask these outlandish off-topic requests here?

Jeff,The two I have are marked as 011 on the large knob but have entirely different front panel layouts.Bill

Which is exactly why Groups.io should have a link shortened of its own. There has been a lot of hand wringing about the link compressors not being permanent, over the years, but have any of them closed up shop and left the links meaningless?

I am leaning toward the CG Electronics "Conductive Grease and Anti-Oxidant" - "Dissipates Static Electricity"
I will try to call the Company Monday but they may be out of business or bought out.

The Youtube video "Tektronix TAS 465 Simple Service Tips"
Shows him Cleaning the PCB but he did not show, or make mention about applying grease.


Thank you.

Thanks Colin, they don't have them.
Thanks Geoffrey, if I have to have them made then I'll probably make
them myself at the local rent-a-cnc.
Thanks G?ran.

btw: any "link compressor", as already suggested, must be permanent. this group is really an archive of info to be reference in the future.
i would discourage using one as it is one more thing to eventually go wrong.

No, there is no way to "embed HTML in a Groups.io message" because it's all just plain email, and Groups.io (or the specific group settings, not sure) may strip HTML out (also not sure, but I've never gotten HTML formatted messages through Groups.io).

Maybe you can send HTML formatted messages from an e-mail client, but the web interface doesn't allow it.

-- Jeff Dutky

didn't work. Unless someone knows how to embed html into groupsio message, nevermind.
most people wouldn't use it anyway.
i see no problem with a link, ugly long, or not.

testing something. embedding html link with display text by simply pasting it to the message text.

<a href="/g/TekScopes/photo/252850/3037754?p=Name%2C%2C%2C20%2C1%2C0%2C0" target="_blank">click here</a>

lets see what groupsio does with it. if lucky, we should see "click here" for jeff's long link.

Tragically the URLs produced by Groups.io itself are ungainly, and tend to be incorrectly parsed by many e-mail clients. You can, apparently, remove the portions of the URL following (and including) the question mark for photos in the photos section, but it would have been nice if Groups.io had included its own link shortening service (or if they had not added the garbage after the basic URL).

as an example, here is a link to a random photo from the photos section:

/g/TekScopes/photo/252850/3037754?p=Name%2C%2C%2C20%2C1%2C0%2C0

and here is the same link, but with the unnecessary prarameter stripped off:

/g/TekScopes/photo/252850/3037754

both links will lead you to the same picture, so why is the parameter there?

-- Jeff Dutky

Ditto. Files should go to the files section, or else to a publicly accessible website. The link should be provided, and if it’s longer than 15 characters or so, you should consider using one of the link compressors online.

Incidentally, if your app gives you a long link with the file name embedded, test to see whether you can truncate all the characters after your file name. That extra garbage is just spyware code.

I agree that the demands on the displays are minimal, and would go further
to say that this is not where the core value of the 57x series lies. When I
discovered my 577 D2 had a weak tube, and before I had discovered a 51xx
donor unit, I was contemplating some kind of digital display module. As
Walter says, the technical specs are pretty forgiving. I recall the 577
boils things down to a 500mV/division signal for both axes, I thought I
could buffer these easily and drive <something>.

Since I have a D2, that I actually use to measure components, I might still
do something, if only to get hard copy and part comparison capabilities.

I have seen at least one 576 for sale on eBay where it looks like someone
already made some kind of mod providing a USB interface to a laptop. I did
not find any details as to whether this is a widely available commercial or
open source mod, and I suspect the 576 is slightly more interesting because
it can lend itself to direct reporting of critical settings (because it
already reports them via the fiber-optic display.)

Looking at the Tek curve tracer models and schematics, I see that the
actual requirements for the tubes are very modest. No high frequency
performance is required, a flat face IS required, and HV potentials are
LOW, so many tubes could be adapted to work.

For example, in the 575, the tube has the dynamics (and pinout) of a
readily available 5ADP1, but has the vert/horiz deflection on the neck. In
reality, a 5ADP1 could probably be used there with 300 ohm twinlead
bringing the deflection back to the socket. There is no geometry pin, but
the 5ADP1 has good geometry to start with, so I think that is a doable
conversion.

In the 577 again the tube is not critical. A tube from a simpler low end
5K frame should be adaptable without too much grief, but the on screen gain
might have to be adjusted. Again, the CRT is nothing special in terms of
requirements, and there should be several possible subs with available 5K
tubes. I would expect the lowest end 5K frames to be the MOST suitable
organ donors. The 576 will be more complicated due to size and some odd
CRT connections, but again, a low end 5K CRT should be adaptable, although
the graticule and gun connections will be different.

I don't have either of these here to experiment with, but I think these
conversions could be done by most of the people here on the list, and
should allow someone that really wants to keep their unit running in
business. I am happy to try and assist anybody that wants to do it.

all the best,

The 5103 D10 and D11 display units are directly interchangeable with the 577
display unit. I have a D11 storage module that I want to put on my 577. The
only difference is the scope units have the callibration loop on the front.

I've done exactly that with my non-storage 577 a number of years ago. Very easy to do and the calibration loop on the front makes for very simple calibration...
