Re: Tektronix 453 Power Indicator Bulb needed
Probably because the lamps are cheap, easily available, and a lot less work. Dale H. Cook, GR/HP/Tek Collector, Roanoke/Lynchburg, VA http://plymouthcolony.net/starcity/radios/index.html

Re: 576 Curve Tracer: Trace moving off screen and jittering when pressing CAL/Zero
I agree with Ed's diagnosis. The push button switches seem to be particularly vulnerable, and are a bear to get to in order to squirt something like Deoxit into. I took all the four main boards out,

Re: 576 Curve Tracer: Trace moving off screen and jittering when pressing CAL/Zero
Okay looks like you're right. I guess some pins float that shouldn't when the switch doesn't make contact, causing odd behavior.

Re: Tektronix 453 Power Indicator Bulb needed
T¡¯would be an easy proposition... if I need to replace one in my 453, that¡¯s what I will do. Phil, N6OMM

Re: 576 Curve Tracer: Trace moving off screen and jittering when pressing CAL/Zero
I should say that I don't see the same behavior on the gates of Q531A/B, Q631A/B... I just see the switches being a bit flakey. I only see the exponential convergence on the source pins of these JFETs

Re: 576 Curve Tracer: Trace moving off screen and jittering when pressing CAL/Zero
You have likely already found the problem - it's poor contact in the switches. Try working them through all their states a lot (may take up to about a hundred times) and see if it settles down. Also

576 Curve Tracer: Trace moving off screen and jittering when pressing CAL/Zero
Hey all, I'm trying to restore a 576 curve tracer. When I turn it on, the trace will go off screen... usually I'm able to move the trace back on screen using the position dials. However, when pressing

Re: Tektronix 453 Power Indicator Bulb needed
Pardon me if this is a dumb question, but why is there no interest in replacing the bulb with LED? --Toby

Re: Tek push-button lettering using pressing iron transfer of laser printed text on non-sticking paper
Hi Fabio, Very nice idea and good documentation on how to do it. You didn't say what if anything you put over the label to protect it after you transferred it to the button. Dennis Tillman W7PF

Re: Tek push-button lettering using pressing iron transfer of laser printed text on non-sticking paper
I've used the cold transfer method - it works a lot better than heat transfer for transferring images. There are many youtube videos on the method. The process can be used on just about any medium -

Hello Edward, Thanks for the update, and for the kind words... I think I was just in a good day. In your case, I confess, when I jumped in I was believing the problem could be related to the ROM, only

Re: Tektronix 453 Power Indicator Bulb needed
Thank you to everyone that took the time to reply to my message. I had no idea that the bulb was in a bulb holder! I should have looked closer. Thanks once again! 73 de N1FBZ

Hi Keith, I understand your decision. Still one remark. I sold my 465 because I have a 100 MHz 2232 now. The 2232 can be used as fully analog 'scope *and* as a fully digital 'scope. I like it very
