Re: 2465B broken Volts/VAR
I recommend not to pull off the plastic knobs as the service manual says and instead slide off the bezel and the button panel off the pots. The knobs get brittle and break off easily. Otherwise

2465B broken Volts/VAR
I have a 2465B with a broken Volts/VAR shaft and am asking for second opinion on replacing The shaft. My first thought is to pull the front panel out following service manual. Then proceed to the POT

Re: Looking for rear feet for 2465 DVM scope
Hey Jason, If you're diagnosing this scope from scratch, then the first port of call is to look at all the supplies at J119 on the main board. There's a table with acceptable voltages and ripple

Re: Looking for rear feet for 2465 DVM scope
I'll have to get back to you on that while I check all that out sometime tonight hopefully. I do know that I also see the ripple on channel one, but nowhere near the same amplitude. When I plug a

Re: Tektronix 547 Lack of Sweep or Intensity Control
Gordon, By getting the voltage you say using a meter, you are making a complete circuit from the negative supply, through the crt acting like a diode in this case, to ground. The rest of the circuit

Re: Tektronix 547 Lack of Sweep or Intensity Control
Hi Mark & Morris: Update - I isolated pin 3 of the crt by unsoldering the wire at the junction of R830/C829 & C830 and measured the voltage on the wire. It was around -1070V even though it was not

Re: can you identify this rumored to be tek part?
maybe that's why these parts were kept in an envelope in a scope-mobile drawer with a 7904A on it! The 7A19 must have been nearby at one time too...

Re: can you identify this rumored to be tek part?
Hi John, The 7A29 has no input fuses (thankfully), but the 7A19 does (along with two spares). The 7A19's fuses and attenuator modules share the same form factor. so that they can be inserted into the

Re: can you identify this rumored to be tek part?
Looks similar, except some different circuitry on the flat side. The box it was in was labeled as fuses. Is the fus *IN* the attenuator? Are there five or ten kinds?

Re: Anyone have a power entry module for a TM502 chassis? Or advice on how to repair a broken one.
I can confirm that the original TM502A fuse drawer fits the replacement power entry module (Schurter p/n 4303.1093)

Jason, I wonder if the caps inside are going bad even though it appears to work. The oscillation could also be decoupling is too low or not at all. If the original electrolytics are still there,

Re: can you identify this rumored to be tek part?
John, those look like 7A19 fuse or attenuator elements. See photos on Tekwiki, or I can take one apart when I get home from work. https://w140.com/tekwiki/wiki/7A19 thanks, Adam
