Re: Thanks for the 3L5 mod info, now, about testing 561/564 frames...
New Member here, but I spotted this post while searching the archives. Regarding this request about test modules for the 560 series scopes. There were 2: 3M1 (067-0500-00) to set the effective CRT

Re: 3T77 tunnel diodes (again)
I think that would work fine, with the same signal quality as before. There is no need for symmetry but if you insist you might add a flip-flop in the final stage. Actually most fast pulsers produce

Re: 1S1 on ebay
That's an approved Tek mod which became standard on later production. It's a current regulator for the tube heaters. Instruments with the mod have a more stable Memory Balance which doesn't have to be

Re: 3T77 tunnel diodes (again)
How about using a few TTL gates in series since the output of the oscillator is already TTL? (As you noted, use the osc output to trigger, and instead of driving the TD from the osc output, drive it

Re: 1A2 on eBay, needs some work
That seller has several Tek plug ins that look like they didn't know about the release screw at the bottom. Looks like they pried them out with a crowbar.

If people don't bid it up. LOL! I might try to get it, so I have something to compare my prototype 1S1 to. I'm still deep in studying the schematics and theory of operation to uncover why literally

Re: 3T77 tunnel diodes (again)
In order to view the trigger edge it would be nice to create a pretrigger pulse in the TD pulser. The simple way is to use the osc output as trigger signal to the 3T77A and an RC delayed version of

Yes, one of my 1S1s has that add-on board. It says 'Heater regulator' Board 670-1054-00 It has a 151-0148 on a heatsink Q609 but not mentioned in my manual 070-0475-00 Tim

Re: 1S1 on ebay
I noticed that too. My 1S1 doesn't have that board either, and it doesn't look very Tek-like. I was going to suggest it might be something to do with substituting for the 8056 Nuvistor, but that still

Re: 1S1 on ebay
In the photos on eBay, I see a circuit board mounted on clips on the reverse side of the horizontal board, which I don't have in my 1S1 and that I haven't seen in pictures of the 1S1 on-line. I don't

1A2 on eBay, needs some work

Re: 1S1 on ebay
Good price, untested, but it has tubes. Sampling diodes seem to be there too. Perhaps this will end up on someone's bench who will try to get it to work?

Re: 3T77 tunnel diodes (again)
I tried a 10 MHz oscillator, actually three different ones by two manufacturers, and all gave the expected 10 MHz output - but with a rise and fall time over 5 ns. The waveform did rise considerably

Re: 3T77 tunnel diodes (again)
Thank you for the detailed explanation, Albert. I think I understand it now. So I'd need a much longer delay. 500 ns is about 350 feet of coax! Maybe I can use this sampling setup to help design a
