Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
Roget thanks. Yes, I was using an analogue scope and watching for any flicker no matter how slight. Might be time to break out the Rigol and try single shot mode. On the other hand without any boot

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair? Trap and Kernel test procedure
The 8085 has certain address locations it goes to under certain hardware conditions.? (without me looking them up, it's in the data sheet), there's one for power on reset, the hardware traps (rst

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
Reed, thank you for the note about the switch on top of the board. I will check it out. Power supplies are OK and all voltages present. I read in the service manual about the "service ROM" and

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
Just correcting my misreading of the schematic for the RST7.5 input. The _input_ to U440 is 50kHz so the RST7.5 frequency should be 500Hz as measured by Tony. Roger

Re: Tek 7854 intermittent issues
The +12V and +5V values you report below seem pretty OK to me. You didn't say anything about the -5V line ...

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
John, I was initially surprised that Reset out was low but that is correct since 8080 peripheral devices have an active high reset pin! A couple of tests for next time you are looking at the scope:

Is my Tek 468 beyond repair? Trap and Kernel test procedure
Hi group I have 2 TEK 468 with problems in digital circuits. First I would like to inform the group that I never worked with the 8085 microprocessor. In the page 5.36 of TEK 468 Service Manual, to

Re: Is my Tek 468 beyond repair?
Thought I would pull out my 468 and see if I could find anything useful to post. Well no trace on power up :( However it passes self test. Had to replace the 1200uf cap in the power supply to bring it

Re: 585A -- time base A linearity
I would clean the capacitor and the 5M resistor with IPA before I condemned it... but you are right about the list of usual suspects. -Chuck Harris Dave Wise wrote:

Re: Tek 7854 intermittent issues
About to test where Dave said but are the barely reachable points on the power supply for the digital section alright? I could snake some tools down and measure from a 5 volt and 12 volt point. 12

Re: 585A -- time base A linearity
I agree with Dave. The cap, or possibly some contamination across its terminals, is the highest-probability cause of the problem. The timing resistor has more or less a constant voltage across it, as

Re: 585A -- time base A linearity
I agree. And it's unlikely for a polycarbonate (C160G) or ceramic (C160M) to go leaky, but it does happen now and then. Unless R160F has become nonlinear, the caps - and the switch insulation - are

Re: 585A -- time base A linearity
That's correct Dave, but when C160G/M is leaky then this will show the most effect on non-linearity when R160F with the highest value 5M is switched in, so at 0.5 cm/div. Albert
