Re: Extracting a buggered knob grubscrew
I've never seen a set screw with a Torx recess. The other larger screws that look like Phillips are most likely PoziDriv. There have been lots of good suggestions here on how to remove a tight set

Re: 2467B problems? Sparkles and flashing LED's
If you single step the youtube video (. and ,) the dots show up at very precise places and in the readout area. The issue is most likely in the readout blanking or sequencing. Service manual describes

Re: 2467B problems? Sparkles and flashing LED's
Ok, I just tried turning off channels 1 and 2 and turning on channels 3 and 4 and the sparkling is still there. I did notice when I play with the v/div and sec/div knobs, it does the sparkle thing as

Re: Extracting a buggered knob grubscrew
I have been watching this thread and have a related problem.? The main tuning knob on my Kenwood TS-940S cannot be removed, as the set screw has a ruined hole and when I try to turn it, it's frozen.

Re: Extracting a buggered knob grubscrew
Because there are two grubscrews, remove the good one that did loosen, apply penetrant to the stuck one, both on it and also down the hole of the other one. Find a good high strength bolt about an

Re: Making your own TM500 containers, some surprises!
I was dubious about the talk of "junker" TM-500/5000-series/7000-series plugins, but stayed silent on the principle that a person saying that a thing can't be done should not interfere with the person

Re: 7603 + voltage rails high
The +50v regulated supply is used in the +5, +15, and +130v supplies. If +50 is excessive, it can cause the problems you describe by overcoming the difference amplifiers, that is Q919 in the +15v

Re: Extracting a knob grubscrew
I use a small Torx bit to remove them. The Torx bits are tapered and you can usually find one that will fit into a striped allen screw. Press the Torx bit into the screw tightly so that it doesn't

I use lefty, counter clockwise twist drills. A tiny triangle file may work also. Model railroad hobbyists use the files. You may have to grind the point a tad., aldue

Hi everyone, I've got a 7603 with no trace and an odd - to me at least - fault. The - ve rails are just under the - 15 and - 50v specified. The +ve rails on the other hand are at +18, +75 and +179v

Re: 7104 readout issue
Chuck, All good advice. Personally, I guess the readouts really aren't that critical. I get used to not having any when using older scopes like my 585A! Maybe I'll just not worry about beyond checking

Re: Extracting a buggered knob grubscrew
In the 500 series, there are no Torx screws anywhere AFAIK, rather they are Pozidriv.
