LOL!  On the other hand, a shower might be a good place to clean a properly prepared scope (5xx series), especially in cold weather.  (When she's not there, of course!) -Dave

I fear that this is happening to me. My workshop is so full, it is forcing my motorcycles and cars outside and taking over my home office as well. Not encroaching into the bathroom, but getting

Ex-USMC 2246 Mod 6 Scope 1998 warranty date. Purchased by me in 2007, been working perfectly and passed all checks and to the best of my calibration capabilities (TM500 modules) been

Wonderful! Thanks for pointing this out. I have a few of these that I bought for my Type 576 as "just in case" parts. The ones I bought are bright white, not grey colored. Otherwise they are as

Hi Tam, Allow me to explain the bathroom quip. But first, I thought your description of the Tu-144 ferrying coal was pretty funny. One member of TekScopes (Magic Smoke) posted that he is slowly

I wanted to make everyone aware of the very poor reliability of certain Tek made relays. Almost every Tek made component was higher quality than industry made components. This is an exception. I think

That's great that it's still available! I can't vouch for it's substitution in the DC508A circuit but it appears to work okay in the DP501. It's also priced about 5x higher than it was when I bought

Hi Ed, The eBay ID he provided in his post takes you to one of Pam Kidd's (daughter of Deane Kidd) listings for a brand new relay for $5.00 and $7.35 USPS Small Flat Rate Box. That is a bargain. The

Need to get some clarification on the procedure steps in CAL06. In the 2465B Service Manual 070-6863-00 pages 5-20 thru 5-21. I have made it thru steps (a.) thru (v.). But getting unsure about

Hello, I joined this list to learn a bit about tek equipment. Lots of surplus gear was coming in at the shop I work at, and I found the information here invaluable. Lots of very talented individuals

Hello, sorry, I do not get the bathroom quip. But: seriously. IMHO, SmallTalk is what did Danaher in. Especially the idiocy of having both SmallTalk and Java on the think, and NOT EXPOSING it to

Hi, I am trying to do some calibration work on a 2230 scope. The position control is somewhat misaligned and normally to centre the horizontal sweep the position control is not in the 12 o’clock

Each of these diodes is extremely different from the others. It is critical to not only use the proper type of diode, but the correct part number as well. Using the wrong part is a good way to dig

Gerry: At this time, I am only interested in purchasing PIN diodes and possibly a couple Hot Carrier diodes. I do not need tunnel diodes at this time. Thank you for the offer. I am sure that

I see that's one of those little Tek-made ones. I noticed some on my spare 576 boards recently - I didn't recall/realize they had used some of these. Since the 576 is a very low frequency application,

BTW Several people have claimed here that PayPal will not reverse the fees on a refund. This is certainly false. I've been running a business via PayPal for fifteen years. Everything gets

For others of the unwashed (myself included) thank you for not passing on a problem!! +++++++ Further: That said, I would be interested in any references to how to pull of the calibration without

I have not had good luck buying stuff from Israel. I can think of about ten items I've bought and all of them I wish I could have changed my mind. The only reason I can think why, is possibly all the
