Just as modern as the day it came out
I got to thinking today, how a 7603, 7A18, 7B53A etc looks as modern and 'cool' as it did the day it came on the marked. Same will all of 7K -pete Proud of having been there for a few of my years

Re: 575 - advice sought from owners
There are a number of paper capacitors in the HV section. (Amongst other locations). I'm sure folks will disagree, but I'd recommend preemptively replacing them. (Any capacitor described as PTM in the

Re: 575 - advice sought from owners
Thanks for the advice guys: I do normally run stuff up on a variac, and I will check those fuses are in place. Fortunately I have a supply of many of the valves used (and a valve-tester): fingers

Re: 575 - advice sought from owners
Hi John: Before you fire your 575 up check that there are fuses in series with pins 14 and 16 (two fuses). I had a short in C244 which did not draw enough current to pop F601. The short overheated

Re: Help needed with no trace no beamfinder on 465 (not b)
Perfect Keith. This clearly shows that Q1416 is always in saturation and that CR1416 never conducts (is even reverse biased). Hence I think the fault is not in the regulator circuits. You might

Re: Tek 465B blurred channel 1 trace
Even with as out of spec as the PSU is I have been getting intermittent traces on the screen and one of the two traces was pretty clean. The last time I turned it on I heard a pop and shut it off

Re: Help needed with no trace no beamfinder on 465 (not b)
Thank you Albert. I put the scope in dc coupling and centered it. Needed to adjust the scope to .5V/div in order to keep the same gain for comparison. Here are the waveforms:

Re: Help needed with no trace no beamfinder on 465 (not b)
Hi Keith, A waveform is not complete without an indication of DC levels. When Q1416 is all the time in saturation, then the 3 waveforms will look identical, but the base waveform will be at about

Re: Tek 7a13 mechanical to LED display conversion ? / 7ct1n user notes ?
Hi Rick, The brilliant designers of the 7000 series made sure all of the slots were "generic". In other words the slot doesn't care whether you put a horizontal or vertical type plugin in it. There is
