Re: Cleaning Tek475A Attenuator Switches
Jerry- Beautiful pictures, thanks! I've also repaired cold joints inside two attenuator modules in my 475A. I also used liquid flux and modest reflow heat. Also worth mentioning: the plug-in

Re: Which would you pick? 454 or 475?
If I were faced with the choice, and the choice was not immediately obvious, I would keep and use both until I knew which one I preferred for my particular application. Dave

Re: Need help choosing a scope and some other RF capable equipment.
That is very nice of you and good advice. I might add that even when the original idea pans out, discoveries made during the research process often lead to unanticipated new avenues to follow. Keep

Re: Which would you pick? 454 or 475?
As a computer field service eng, I carried a 454 then switched to a 465B. The 454 actually had a higher bandwidth ( 150 Mhz) vs 100Mhz on the 465B . note that the 475 offers 200 mhz BW. Primarily the

Re: trying to chase down a cursor and a focus problem on a 2465
Scott, Being very attentive to the issue of programmers damaging chips, can you tell me what EPROM you were trying to read and what your PROM burner is? Thanks. Joe

Re: trying to chase down a cursor and a focus problem on a 2465
I am pretty sure I have an A5 board with the 4 proms. If you don't get a source today, I can pull mine and read them tonight. Tom

Re: trying to chase down a cursor and a focus problem on a 2465
Oh good grief. No good deed goes unpunished. I was going to backup the firmware on the A5 board, but apparently it's a bad thing to use the "identify chip" function of my PROM burner, as it seems to

Re: Which would you pick? 454 or 475?
The 465 and 475 were the workhorse 'scopes for many years. Highly reliable (once it is working) and pretty rugged.I used 475s and my "personal" 485 (means I kept it locked in my lab with the probes

Re: 7587 Nuvistor Tetrode Substitutions in the Tektronix 184 Time-Mark Generator
It just occurred to me that adding a couple of diodes or a low voltage zener in series with the source of the top JFET would also assure cutoff. I will test using a 2N7000 as well since I keep those

Re: Which would you pick? 454 or 475?
Matt: Take the covers off and then decide. You'll probably then choose the 454. I've got both, and prefer the 454 (build quality, fine trace etc). They are very relaible. You can source the nuvistors,

Thanks Dave. I am in orthopaedic shoes, I stand corrected. I am a Tek/HP fan and since I have both in my shack in abundance I do often mix then up. Honestly, though, I am a bit amused by the rapidity

Re: Need help choosing a scope and some other RF capable equipment.
What you could probably use is a Tektronix 8116A. It produces sine, square and triangular signals at any frequency from milli-hertz to 50 + MHz, over 20 v p/p with freely adjustable bias and duty
