Looking at the voltages you have listed a Microwave oven PS diode may fill your bill. These are generally rated for 15KV at up to 1 Amp. You may need to get creative with the mounting and wiring though. Mitch N4MF --- In TekScopes@..., Michael Hann <mchl_hann@...> wrote: Working on an old T922 and need two diodes for hv.? Tek#
152-0639-00? They are both 10kv 10mw rectifers? Have had no luck tracking them down and not sure what to replace with. Any help out there?? Thanks

Help with P6106 probe, resistor value?
I have a P6106 probe that was intermitantly dropping the high frequencies. I downloaded the manual here and it has a schematic, but no part values. It is the 2 meter version and has a component LR1 which appears to be a coil wound around a resistor. Does anyone know what the value of the resistor should be? I think the resistor was intermittant and is now permanently open. I would like to shunt a resistor across it to test before I go to the trouble of unwinding the coil.
I feel dumb but lucky. Dumb, because I thought the problem was the scope and didn't even try another probe. Lucky because it got me to look on Ebay for another scope. I bought a Tek 2232 with bad focus for $50 and with the help of this group fixed it for the price of a 510k resistor.

Thanks, George ------------------ Off course caps could be an issue here but my first choice would be R2201. This is only 0.1 ohm and has a history of going bad i.e. increasing value. It doesn't take a lot of increase before the supply goes into current limit and clicks as you describe. /H?kan

Geometry adjustment with pot R4350 on the 2465B
Hi,
I tried to adjust the "geometry" for the delta t lines but rotating the geometry pot gave no change at all! I checked the connections and the voltage, all ok. Any clues ?
Thanks! George

Re: Stubborn TDS540 Fail ++ Acquisition
Hi all...
OK I have replaced ALL the SMD electrolytic caps, all TL074 and TL072 op-amps, all 14051 and DG444 muxes. Scope still fails Acquisition with ctlConfidencDiag, **2.50e-9<=exp<=1.20e-8 actual=4 Did I mention this was a stubborn fault.
I believe the error message relates to the CTL (U1001) attempting to measure a 3.125 MHz clock. A member here said he obtained the same error message. (but with actual=0 when one of the TL072s was left not fitted after a global replacement.) He also mentioned someone on here had got the fabled microfiches of the Technical Reference Manual for the 540 (or 544?) which included schematics.
If anyone can help me out with a jpeg or PDF of the page with the Acquisition board trigger schematics I would be very grateful and more than willing to pay for your time and effort.
Thanks and regards, Robin Bowden

Re: 2465B calibration issues
I had exactly the same problem attempting to calibrate my 2465B.Here's the fix that worked for me: After completing step 31, the instrument will step to 32, which is not shown in the manual. When this happens, press "Coupling Up" to step to 33 and 34 in order to end the routine. If you don't step to 33 and 34, the calibration constants you have so laboriously determined will not be stored and you will continue to get the Error 04 -02 message. Good luck!

Looking for J17 or sim. optical spectrometer
Does anybody have anything available to measure visible to IR optical wavelength? I could really use many different types of gear, what do you have going bad on that storage shelf you want to be gone? Can buy ro swap, but really need a working solution.
I need to characterize LED and lamp emissions from 350nm to about 1300nm. I could use Ocean Optics, Gamma scientific, Ando, Tek, help!!!

My 11A32 has gone bad and needs replacing. I have an extra 11A72 that passes all tests (startup, extended, enhanced) including with a probe attached. I am looking to trade the 11A72 for an equally good 11A32. 11A72s are currently going for a little more than the 11A32s, but this would be a straight trade. I would prefer to keep this in the continental US to reduce shipping costs.
email me off group if you are interested.

Hello all, ? I am finally getting around to doing some work on my Tek 2225 scope, and it looks as though I need a replacement focus potentiometer. The part is a?"PIHER 2.2Meg 2M2 827" that withstands 2kV. Does anyone know where I might dig one of these up? (2 if possible, one for the spare parts bin). If not, could anyone suggest a suitable replacement? Thanks!! ? Lorn K3ALE

Scope has error 04 02 at power up and was displayying a long line of dots along bottom of screen. ? Ran through cal a few times?and after a few attempts the long line of dots has gone but the scope still displays error 04 02 at power up! Any ideas before I run through the cal again? Seems to be working fine now. ? Also unable to adjust step 31 and 33 in Cal 01 to meet spec. All others no poblem. I set 31 and 33 about midscale to avoid a limit indication. ? Thanks,
David.

Sigh. After my 7904 went South, I turned on the 2430a at the weekend to be met with an all-too-familiar smell of dead electrolytics - no HT, but LV seems ok and front panel lights etc. seem good.
How to I open up and check the damage? I'd like to do this quickly before any leaded gunk gets to work..
Thanks

Re: 2445B/2465B Calibration. Am I doing it right?
In CAL01 the time marks are always aligned with the graticule marks. The first time marks is always set to the left edage graticule.
The LIMIT is usually hit when the scope is way out of cal, just set it as best as you can, the next step is usually a 4 marker per Div step. After making the adjustments in that step the previous one will repeat and then it should not hit the LIMIT. If it does then your scope has hardware problems.

Re: Tube oddities in 067-0502-00 (7734/6GE6 vs 7G11)
--- In TekScopes@..., "bobkrassa" <bobkrassa@...> wrote: I have almost the same subst in a later Type 132 only it is a 6G11 not a 7G11. Works fine. Could this have been a factory substitution even though the 6G11 sits in an adapter?
Yes, it has been roundly pointed out to me that it is a 6G11 in my instrument, not a 7G (which doesn't exist). Sorry :) The instrument in question is also missing all the tubes required to use the 100x amplifier (the one that apparently was never called for in any cal procedures), though these are much more common devices. Ah well. I didn't find any adapters readily for sale, so I guess I'll go for the 'native' tube.

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Don, From some old notes I have on the Tek HC-100 plotter, it was based on the Epson HI-80 plotter. Some old Tek part numbers for the pens were: Ball Point - 016-0877-00 (four colors, paper) Fiber Tip - 016-0878-00 (four colors, oil based ink for film) Fiber Tip - 016-0879-00 (four colors, paper, thicker line width) Pen cartridge - 016-0876-00 Perhaps check with Epson or office supply places for pens? Granted, my notes are from 1991 and I haven't had any dealings with the plotter since then. Hope this helps. Bob

Greetings-
Looking to source an HV module for a much beloved 2213A (no wisecracks please).
Tek P/N is 152-0806-00 a.k.a. Unitrode CMX647 (or Murata MSL8513 apparently also used).
BTW, does anyone know how much current it is supposed to draw from the HV secondary? For kicks, it was happy with a 10 meg dummy load.
Thanks all,
Mike Z
P.S. Troubleshooting reference:
Scope works except reduction on LV supplies is shrinking the display to successively smaller portions of the CRT (first symptom of trouble).
Isolating power supplies revealed "lossy/leaky multiplier" symptoms reminiscent of those described by Kevin Chadwick (post #26366, Feb '07), i.e.,:
All P/S secondaries are pulled low 10-12% (out of regulation) by connecting the multiplier. Disconnecting HV loads, anode lead and -2kV output (lift R976), does not clear the issue. Disconnecting the HV unit entirely from the transformer secondary relieves the overload, LV supplies then regulate and can be adjusted +/- 10% or so using R938.
Multiplier still "works" (bright trace, focus and intensity controls operate nominally) but module gets hot and occasionally gives an audible "SNAP" (whereupon trace winks out momentarily).

The TM5006A power supply I am using works fine at startup. It is fully loaded with modules. After some time (15-30 minutes) the modules in the left five bays stop working (no power). Only the power in the right high-power bay remains.
Since I don't have a manual of the TM5006A, and it seems to be quite different compared to the TM5006, I would be very greatful for any help.
With kind regards,
Gerard Janssen
