Re: Type J plugin?

 

Nope; this is definitely a letter series-type plugin.? It looks like it was the predecessor to the 1A(1,2) plugins.

fan blade / attachment assembly for 2465?

 

Hi,

wondering if anyone knows where I might get a replacement fan blade & its little expanding screw attachment doohickey for a 2465. I got a dead 2465 some months ago and nursed it back to health* but a former owner had badly damaged the fan blade assembly¡­

If it's not possible to track down an original fan blade / attachment bit, are there any recommendations on replacing the fan? Specifically looking for suggestions for how to properly get the fan speed dialed in for proper temperature control, or at least how to make sure the scope is getting properly cooled¡­

Thanks!

* scope would power on, but with no display. recapping the power supply board brought it up to basic service, though the readout was then flakey and mostly appeared as little bits of snow. Replacing a 74-series chip (don't remember which one) on the display board fixed that.

Wow.?

That is a huge project for most people. And very small SMD soldering for a device that goes into... a large metal case!

I smell a chip manufacturer-promiting article...

Nonetheless, nice new ideas WRST triac as circuit-breaker, etc.

Thanks,
Dave

Thank you for sharing this, Carlos.
I've worked in a similar direction and developed a concept for a more comprehensive implementation of microprocessor control - though with somewhat different focus. But, who wants a $5000 variac; parts lists are extensive (read expensive) and, talk about time consuming... Any mircroprocessor expert?wanna pitch in?

This article adds features I had not considered... very good food for thought, indeed...if, perhaps, little else?

Re: Variac's [1 Attachment]

 

That's quite a sophisticated circuit, but it left out some important functions. First, there is apparently no protection of the variac wiper - there should always be a fuse or breaker right there, rated at the maximum output current of the variac. Second, never trust a thyristor to be the only disconnect element in a critical power circuit - it should be backed by a mechanical relay tripped from the same signal, or at least be fused at the maximum output rating. It does not appear to have any other safety backup in the triac circuit. Using a fuse on the variac wiper would help this issue too. The mains circuit breaker alone can not protect the variac or the output circuit from excessive current.

Any variac wiper should be protected in almost any application, but especially for this kind, that has a wide range of operating conditions and possible faults. If you put the wiper fuse holder on the front panel, it also allows you to easily adapt it for different situations by having an assortment of fuse sizes on hand to install in the holder - as long as you remember. It can also be backed by an additional series fuse rated at the maximum wiper current, inside or on the back, in case you put too big a fuse in the front. I would trust this old-school approach more than a home-made electronic circuit breaker.

Hi,

I am looking for scrap 7k and TM500 plugins. I need the frame components including the rails, sides, front panel, rear bracket. I do not need the boards or knobs etc. I prefer quantities of 2 or more but will talk. No double wide wanted. Please contact me off-list

"Green" just grates on my nerves, I hear it so much.

He/she probably gave up after smoking the other resistor. Doesn't explain the two 3 amp slo-blo fuses though. ;-)

I wonder if the previous repairer misread the resistor, put it in, it didn't fix
the problem, and he gave up?

In addition you get way more fuse for the bigger numbers. I know you cannot
be complaining about getting some free fuse in the same size package.
Well and actually you got a lot of free resistance just thrown in the deal
as well by going from black to green.

Isn't that the truth. Picked up a non-working SC502 that had 2 - 3 amp
slo-blo fuses in the place of a 0.3 amp slo-blo and a 0.75 amp slo-blo.
Also someone had replaced the R943 1.1 ohm 1 watt transistor on the -20V
rail with a 1 Mohm resistor, which in turn caused R960 to burn up.

Interesting stuff out there.

Re: Variac's

It's like the SC504 From Hell I have. I finally gave up on it, after finding something different not working each time I fired it up. It's know a parts pig. I swear someone picked up a bunch of bad boards, found a frame and a CRT, lashed it all up, and sent it on it's merry way.

was a 4

second
was a one page spec for the Type J, which doesn't appear on any of the
