Re: 7934 - failing storage tube?
1. The 7934 CRT in non-storage mode is definitely not as bright as a 7904 CRT. 2. *Which* storage mode? They operate very differently. 3. Do you have the operator's manual? If so, read it

WTB: AC/DC current probe
I'm looking for advice on current probes.I need a probe (or two?) ?that's compatible with standard Tek scope inputs (7k, 24xx, etc...).It should be AC and DC capable and capable of going from a few

7904 trace dimming
Hello All, I am noticing that as my 7904 is warming, the trace dims. It does this about 3-5 mins after power up and does so all at once. In other words, it is not gradual dimming. I need to

Re: 7934 - failing storage tube?
On my 7834s, I found that doing the z-axis and storage calibrations made a significant improvement in the storage CRT performance. While burn in is visible in storage mode, it does not seem to have

Re: 7934 - failing storage tube?
On my 7834s I thought the CRT image was pretty good until I got my 7904 and 7854 but I was used to 100 MHz oscilloscopes like the 22xx series.

Re: 7934 - failing storage tube?
The 7934 is only closely related to the 7904A. They use mostly the same major integrated circuits including the channel switches and vertical CRT amplifiers. The 7904 is closely related to the 7834,

Re: 2215A with no sweep
Hi Michael, Thanks for the recommendation on Bourns. I ordered enough to replace all of them in the scope since I have found three bad. I suspect the 50 ohm ones in the .2 mv circuit were killed by

Re: 2215A with no sweep
UPDATE: Well, the scope is MOSTLY fixed.... Turned out the reason I didn't have sweep was R740, (A Sweep Gain) pot was OPEN. I replaced it with another 1K pot and the sweep was back. Then I set

Re: 1A4 Plug-In "Invert Switch" - Tektronix Part No. 260-0723-00
Meh, in any case, if you get the dreaded trace deflected off the CRT and you can't get it back with the controls, the input dual FET might be bad. If it is, apparently 2x 2N3819 TO-92s glued together

Re: Original Tektronix probes vs other probes
Thanks for the information everyone. I'm fairly new to this group and it is amazing the level of knowledge here, I have a lot to learn. I picked up a couple Tektronix P6047 probes to match the 454

I have replied to similar messages in the past. Peter¡¯s reply is right on. To get the best performance, higher bandwidth scopes with 1 Mohm inputs need the probe to be designed to counteract the
