Tektronix 475 scope
Hi, the first anode (EHT) of my old 475 scope is arcing, either under the cap or to chassis. How do I get to it? (yes I have already got the outer casing off) Is it already a boat anchor? Allan |

Allan is the display shrunk? One failure mode is that the HV bleeder resistor goes open. High voltage goes up. Display shrinks depending on intensity level. |

Don't want to leave it on long enough to look for display, was working ok. Have manual, no help. Cheers Allan |

The HV lead is soldered to an electrode and potted in RTV. The 475 is a very fine 200 MHz scope and worth saving. tm |

"** When ( not if ) you fix it, treat yourself to one of these:
http://www.dutchtronix.com/ScopeClockH3-1-Enhanced.htm " I don't see a Z axis output on that. What does it do, just greatly exceed the writing speed of the scope ? |

If you look at the schematic at: http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Widgets/o-clock-v12.pdf you'll find JP2, which has ZLINE and ZINV pins. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

Allan Finally got around to tackling this. Found old RTV hard and conductive at anode connection. Removed, cleaned and replaced. Good fix. Many thanks for help. Allan |

Tektronix 475 scope
Well I haven't had much luck with them lately. When my 7603 was running there were scads of them on eBay and everywhere for less than a hundred bucks, notny more.
Anyway, I dunno about requiring a DD214 to hold political office, but I do tnink they should have had at least one honest job in their life. Youknow what I mena by honest job right ? Well they don't. |
