PG-506 Calibration
I finally bought a broken pre-B040000 PG-506 and have repaired and
recalibrated it. It had one bad Signetics 7475 produced in the 10th
week of 1979 which I replaced with an even older Fairchild

Re: 7B92A with tunnel diodes vs. version without
Gotcha. It is funny how these things work out.
I guess we need to find someone with both 7B92A versions and an SG504
or equivalent to measure any difference in the triggering sensitivity.
I thought

Congratz Keith.
You for sure deserve a good scope if nothing else for your tenacity. I agree
the community sure came together and helped you through this. Very
impressive and I learned a lot as

Parting out 7D01
Hi,
I am parting out 2 7D01s and a DF2. Nothing less than $2 plus postage and handling cost. I am downsizing so trades are unlikely. Will combine for multiple parts. Make offer off list. Charity

Re: 7B92A with tunnel diodes vs. version without
Hi David,
I got this "hybrid" 7B92A through a swap with my earlier tunnel diode based unit. I only received my SG504 (and SG503) after that so I don't know my earlier 7B92A's trigger behavior by

I have not responded until now. I do/have used toothpaste as well to finish

Re: 7B92A triggering to 1.05GHz
Hi Dennis,
My message was related to my earlier question on this forum (original post) about the reasons for and consequences of replacing the tunnel diodes in earlier 7B92A's with these hybrids. It

Re: 7B92A with tunnel diodes vs. version without
I just recently acquired and repaired an SG503 that was suffering from
bad TI sockets. I do not have anything suitable to test triggering
above its 250Mhz maximum frequency.

7B92A triggering to 1.05GHz
Hi Raymond,
WOW! I will have to try that myself and try it with a 7B10 which should be
as good.

Re: 7B92A with tunnel diodes vs. version without
Tried my newly acquired SG504 (with leveling head) and saw this 7B92A triggering happily at around 1.05 GHz on my 7904 + 7A19... Of course, amplitude isn't shown anywhere near correctly. 7B92A is

You might want to check out the cleaning/polishing stuff used for aircraft canopies.

Re: Polish out scratches in blue filter
If you can't get the scratches out, you may be able to find some blue transparency film at Staples.
This is the stuff you would use with an overhead projector.
It should stick to the CRT face just

Time to update the title of this thread? Nice success, but how do "you" manage to have a 'scope with so many problems! :=)

Wow. Good deal. I suspect I learned as much from you fixing your
oscilloscope as you did or at least enough to continue work on my
functioning 7834.

Thanks to you all for your advice, both here and off-line. I'm looking into these remedies as well as fabricating a new replacement filter.

Re: Help with R7903 needed, some success...
Are you sure you don't have a lose or mis-plugged cable or connector? After all that you have been through, that would be the first thing to check.
Good job though. Grats!
