Tek 465B woes


 

Hi Kevin,

In XY mode a vertical signal is not really needed but it looks nicer. Simply defocus the spot and set it to a convenient brightness. The idea is that you can watch DC voltages now with your DMM while you slowly rotate Hor Pos from fully counter clockwise to fully clockwise and back. You might find for instance that the first stage (test points 85 and 86) follows the Hor Pos knob position smoothly over the whole range from 2.1 V to 4.1 V, while the second stage fails. It might be normal that the Hor Pos even goes slightly beyond these extremes of the sweep.

Hi Albert. Appreciate the advice. I have checked the XY mode, but only with
no signal. The dot near the middle does move slightly, but only about a
half-an-inch or so. I don't have any way locally to create a triangular
wave form, and I don't have, or know anyone, with a second scope to use for
testing. I hope I don't need to desolder any of the transistors to check
them out. That would require some extensive disassembly, as far as I can
tell from looking at the physical component locations.


Kevin Crossett
 

Ah. I think I understand. Do I need to inject a signal, say from a small
signal generator that outputs a dirty square wave, or can I do it simply by
turning on the scope, defocusing the spot and manipulating the horz control
while measuring the voltage on the two test points?

Yes simply set both channels to GND and defocus the spot. That way you won't burn-in the screen.

Great I'll try that tonight. Thanks for the tip. I'll also check voltages
on the other test points and check the wires to the deflection plates and
check the wires and clips to the CRT.

I'll report back my results.

OK. So I made the measurements on the test points as directed by Albert. I
have not checked the transistors because I'm still not sure the best way to
do so. I also checked the wires to the deflector plates, and they seem to
be secure.

Here are the measurements based on the following criteria. Scope in XY and
both channels set to GND. Defocused the beam and manipulated the horz
control while reading voltages on the test points as identified in the
manual figure 9-7.

TP VDC
85 1.42 to 3.90
86 2.35 to 4.90
87 -1.46 to -4.19
88 -2.10 to -3.34
89 36.25 to 36.80
90 35.60 to 37.07

These seem a little wonky to me, especially test points 86, 89 and 90.

Any thoughts?

Hi Kevin,
set up controls just as Albert suggested. gnd both channels, defocus, and low intensity.
now measure the voltage at TP 85 and adjust the horizontal position on the front panel until you read 3.1v as shown ins the schematic.

now WITHOUT moving the horz position any more¡­..remeasure the other TP¡¯s.

post these readings.

thanks

there should be 6.2v difference across VR4341¡­. measure both sides of R4344¡­. on side should be 55v the other 103.8.

the blackish coating on the leads is silver oxide, not burned stuff¡­. a lot of zeners from these years have it¡­. usually diodes from Motorola and ¹ó²¹¾±°ù³¦³ó¾±±ô»å¡­..

Here are the measurements based on the following criteria. Scope in

Any thoughts?

Sorry, misunderstood the original email. When I hit the beam finder (after
working the button about 20 times) the beam grows from two divisions to
three divisions.

do you have any 6.2v zener diodes¡­.or any spare npn 2n2222 2n3904¡­.transistors¡­..

you can make a zener out of a spare NPN transistor emitter to base junction¡­..the base should be connected to the cathode point and the emitter connected where the anode is of the original zener¡­. this will give a ¡°zener of about 6 to 7v to see if it affects the amps gain¡­..
