Hi again Yes the crt dose work , scope did turn at one time , but PS needs work , i bought with the notion of fixing but i have so many other scopes that needed work that i never got to fix .
Pay pal is what i have and what i use for internet transactions . I will try to see if i can use power supply from other scope to power crt and take picture before i send to you so you can see for yourself, just need some time to make that happen .

My friend of Texas is back at home.

If you are SURE that CRT has the filament ok, i will buy the scope.

I believe in your word.

So, let me know how to transfer the money to you.

I think a ebay money request will be ok.

Have a nice week end.

Thanks for the confirmation of what I had imagined would be the process. The next (and more theoretical) question is, what combination of components would be needed to complete such a board?

Selecting the modern components is another thing altogether,

Thanks for the Guidance!

I had some bad wire wrap sockets in a Chyron Video graphics system for our
stations Mobile Production Van, in the late '80s. The sockets were under
hundreds of very tight wire wrap wires, so I bought good quality machine pin
sockets and pressed them into the wire wrap sockets. It cured the problem,
without replacing that expensive backplane. It would have taken weeks for us
to unwrap everything, replace the two bad sockets and replace each wire. The
original problem was caused by ICs with defective plating on the pins, and
they had contaminated the cheap sockets used by Chyron. Two new ICs with
better plating finished the repairs.

I still have a few of the headers (they are in hiding, somewhere) for when
there is no replacement for a chip with bad plating. I simply straddle the IC
header and solder the IC pins to the header.

is the style I used to repair the Chyron.
This listing is for Augut, which are good quality.

<<Does anyone have experience with building such a "hybrid"?>>

Michael: I gotten round this by plugging in a 14 or 16 Dip CAMBION
header in place of the removed special chip.,
The CAMBION has either solder lugs or turned pins on top depending
on model. Turned pins are best for this
I soldered a piece of strip board on to that, shaped to fit without
fouling nearby parts when plugged home
Then soldered the approp sockets to the strip board to take the
corresponding IC's making up the equivalent circuit.
then plugged the header into a socket replacing the original.
Done this with a couple of Tek Plug ins so far and they are still
working fine years later...and I can still get the parts!!!

Cheap and quick to do I assume you can still ger Cambion's headers or
equivalents. If not you could solder suitable pins
onto the strip board direct to match the boards IC

The original problem was caused by ICs with defective plating on the pins, and they had contaminated the cheap sockets used by Chyron. Two new ICs with better plating finished the repairs.

I still have a few of the headers (they are in hiding, somewhere) for when there is no replacement for a chip with bad plating. I simply straddle the IC header and solder the IC pins to the header.

is the style I used to repair the Chyron. This listing is for Augut, which are good quality.

<<Does anyone have experience with building such a "hybrid"?>>

Michael: I gotten round this by plugging in a 14 or 16 Dip CAMBION
header in place of the removed special chip.,
The CAMBION has either solder lugs or turned pins on top depending
on model. Turned pins are best for this
I soldered a piece of strip board on to that, shaped to fit without
fouling nearby parts when plugged home
Then soldered the approp sockets to the strip board to take the
corresponding IC's making up the equivalent circuit.
then plugged the header into a socket replacing the original.
Done this with a couple of Tek Plug ins so far and they are still
working fine years later...and I can still get the parts!!!

Cheap and quick to do I assume you can still ger Cambion's headers or
equivalents. If not you could solder suitable pins
onto the strip board direct to match the boards IC

I have acquired a TM506 with 7 plug ins

and DM502. All the units seem to work except the PG502. Looking for some
guidance as to the likely failure points of this module from the much more
experienced members. The TM506 had a fan that had just exploded and was
locked up. I replaced the fan and found that the PG502 was not powering on,
the power light on the panel did not come on. I found that It had a blown
F645 1A sub-miniature fuse on the board, I replaced that fuse and now when I
plug it in and turn on the power, it blows the 7A fuse on the board of the
TM506. Funny thing is that the little sub miniature that I replaced does
not
blow when this happens. I immediately stopped inserting the module, in fear
that it might cause some other damage to the TM506. Anyone have any ideas?
I
do not want to keep poking around without getting some ideas from the forum.
Thank You in advance!

I remember that TEK does not recommend hot insertion of modules in
equipment. Part of the problem is that if the connectors are not
aligned properly from the very start, adjacent pins can short at the
very beginning of the process, yet be correctly aligned when the
plugin is fully and properly inserted.

With no plugins, if the TM506 main fuse blows, then there's a nice
short somewhere. Obviously, if the fuse doesn't blow with no plugins,
and then blows once a plugin is inserted and power is applied, I'd be
looking at that plugin. A good set of extenders can be a very nice
addition.

As far as the PG502 is concerned, I'd check the capacitors down line
from the fuse. I'd also check the major capacitors in the PG502 just
as a matter of course, if you have an ESR checker.

Harvey




Harvey,

You are correct, TEK does not recommend "Hot swapping". I do not do hot
swaps. The short is definitely in the PG502 as it blew that fuse on the TM506
as soon as power came on. With a full complement of Six functional plugins,
(Excluding the PG502) there is no problem with the fuse. I am confident that
the TM506 is good to go. Remove PG502- replace fuse-all is well. Others have
also focused on the caps as well, so that will be a good place to start.
Appreciate your insight and feedback.

I have been getting some e-mail help from Dan Meeks and I have found several of the nagging issues that have plagued this device. I have some signals, but have not restored complete function.

In order of repair:

Replaced F645
Removed, tested and re-soldered Q650, this was also not bolted down to the board, So it was running much hotter than normal. Replaced the missing nylon hardware and secured to board.
Tested electrolytic caps and replaced C304 which had considerable leakage.
Located, Removed and Replaced blown "Crowbar" Q626.
Set 15V to EXACTLY 15 V Voltage was set too high @ 15.86V
Checked -20V and found it to be -20.022V
Checked +5V and found it to be +5.16V
Replaced blown "Power On" incandescent lamp with an LED.
Cleaned/inspected cam switches.
Replaced C424 which was standing with one lead in the air.
Checked VCC @ U150-U180-U260-U360-U400 and U480, all voltages and grounds seem fine.
Swapped U150 (156-0282-01 MC1660L) with U180 (same part). (This is where the big change happened).
Before this swap I had no output from the main output and I had a ragged Trigger out signal only with the period switch set to 4nSec position and the pulse duration set to SQ Wave (INT Period).
After this swap, I have a signal from the Trigger in 4 nS as well as a square wave from all other switch positions. I also can vary the period of the signal, but still cannot control the duration of the signal. So things are looking up, but not totally fixed yet. THe trigger/duration input also does not appear to work. probably something with Q125/Q130. I think what I need next is a Known good 156-0282-00 or 01 to replace the known bad U180. Then I can continue testing for other flaws. This OR/NOR GATE is long obsolete, so anyone out there that has one and who would part with it, please feel free to let me know.

Re: using scope channel 1 and channel 2 invert and add functions vs floating DUT

 

Hi Nielsen
It is a bit of a detour for you but you will learn a huge amount by reading "ABCs of Probes" which is written and published by Tektronix. You can find the latest version of it at the Tek web site:


There is a section on differential measurements in this primer.

Hi keep it simple stupid,

Thanks for commenting. Sounds like I need to do some experimenting to
see what the limitations are with my 2 scopes. I need to just try some
known test circuits, and dig into some docs on my scopes and older
scope docs for further information.

Should I look at some information on differential probe equipment? If
there is anything I've learned, sales brochures for tools that
address a given problem using more conventional tools or means, do a
great job of telling you what the problem is with the conventional
means.

Bear in mind that the differential use of a scope (like the
differential use of an operational amplifier), assumes that both
channes are absolutely identical. That includes frequency and voltage
response.

So for a differential measurement, the A and B channels have to be as
close as possible. If using probes, THEY must also be as close as
possible so that the whole measurement chain can do an accurate A-B.

The idea behind a differential probe is that the probe is matched and
combines the signals earlier in the process, so that the scope doesn't
need matched channels, the probe does all the work.

Harvey

I have bought several different styles of 50Ohm BNC CABLES from this seller on E-bay, the quality has been very good. USA Seller and seems to have good stuff. he has RG174 in his store. Fast shipping and seems to be reasonable prices. Worth a look?

Hi Ian- thanks for responding! I've gotten sidetracked by other priorities, but will return to it later this week... and I'll look over your repair thread, which will help.

Re: 7a42 Issues

 

Further to the issue I described in my last post, I installed a new battery and the erratic operation has not occurred.
I still have to few tests to do but I now suspect that the battery charger isn't working as this also supplies power
to the RAM chips even with no battery installed, so with no supply to RAM this could be the cause of the erratic operation.

Regards,
Peter

Good call! the price beats a 5 meter cut piece of coax on aliexpress. The ends are free if you need 12 feet out of it...
