Re: Help Troubleshooting 466, No +15VDC
Thanks, lots of good suggestions. The IR imaging camera sounds really helpful, have to look into getting one. What I ended up doing was to separate the 15VPS from all the loads, and coincidently, or

Re: 7D20 with unknown options or mods
Richard, I found what I believe to be the same part. The pins and functions are the same, but under a different part number. I don't remember if Tek had them screened or selected for critical

Re: Strange Tek2440 issue - SOLVED!
How quaint, but I guess it happens. I had a problem in my 485 sweep generator where a precision resistor went voltage dependent on me. Measured up just fine on a DMM, but beat Ohms law handsomely at

That's the one. I need to find one or two to make DC Blocking Caps for my pricey HP Sig Gens. Thanks, Dick, W1KSZ ________________________________ Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2020 11:16 AM To:

Re: Test Fixture Name
Hi Dick, You may be thinking of the Tek Input RC Normalizers. They are cast metal boxes with, as you say, a male BNC at one end and a female BNC at the other. They contain in parallel, a (usually 1M)

Test Fixture Name
I am looking for one of these small boxes (around 1" X 1" X 2-3") that had a Male BNC on one end and a Female BNC on the other end. Tektronix made them probably 40 to 60 years ago. What would be a

A few hard to find, minty service manuals available
After winding up stuff day (season) at Sphere for the year, I found a stash of almost mint Tek service manuals for some of the scopes we had on for stuff day. Before I post them up to the page, I

Re: Cleaning Leads of IC Chips (Tektronix Related)
If you've gotten the board out, I'd suggest using a hot air gun to heat the underside until you can pull it off. As for cleaning the leads, you can try a solder sucker or solder wick or both, but

Re: Help Troubleshooting 466, No +15VDC
I've done that ... once. I had a main board for a Radio Shack Model III computer with ONE shorted 0.1uf bypass cap out of about 50 or so. 5V at 10 amps cleared it in less than a second. Vince.

Re: Please help with TDS340A
31.5 Khz sounds like something generated by the display.? You could disconnect the display power, use an external display, and see if it goes away.? Possibly a bad filter capacitor in the display

Re: Mystery Pulse Generator
It looks like there is some 109 DNA in it. Cabinet, controls, some of the connectors. The 109 would do 250 ps and would not do line sync. Otherwise could be a homebrew 109. -ls-

Physically, tantalum drop capacitors have a lot of the characteristics of a fuse. The tantalum metal melts at a reasonably low temperature, and pops the capacitor's body, leaving a couple of bare

I'd guess that it's an instrument made for internal use at Tektronix. The unfinished rear panel (2 unused holes for GR connectors and the hand lettering support this suspicion) Also, the complete lack
