130 LC meter
Bob Albert
Is there anyone familiar with this unit? I have one that isn't working and have traced the problem to the variable oscillator not oscillating.
It's plate voltage is too low but everything seems good otherwise. Too low for enough gain to oscillate. The tubes are good and the transformer resonates. There is less than one volt on the plate of V4A.

260-2500-00 Encoder
Sergey Kubushyn
There was some announcement a year or so ago that somebody has several of
those in stock. Don't know who it was and if there are still some available bue I need one for my recently acquired CG5011 that arrived with a broken inner shaft, Variable control. If somebody has this one I will be happy to pay a reasonable price and shipping from anywhere on on Earth. A front panel with that encoder intact from an otherwise damaged CG5010/5011 would also do as well as non-working CG5010/5011 at a reasonable price. --- ****************************************************************** * KSI@home KOI8 Net < > The impossible we do immediately. * * Las Vegas NV, USA < > Miracles require 24-hour notice. * ******************************************************************

Re: Chart Recorder and Its Replacement
paul.delamusica@...
I did some testing on the terminals that supposedly provide the START signal. It turns out to be just a relay that closes when the recording starts and opens again when the scan is finished. The resistance goes from infinity to zero at START and goes infinity again at STOP, at least in theory. In reality, the instrument has other stepper motors going on and off. When that happens, the relay seems to be unable to hold down and goes open momentarily. The interruption is short enough so that a small capacitance could solve the problem, but is that what we supposed to do? Or is it an indication of some other problems, such as power supply going weak?

Re: 465B fan question
Robert Simpson
Received and installed a new Thermister and 15Ohm resistor. The fan does start up better but there is still a problem. Watching it carefully, I see that the fan shaft has about 1/32 inch forward and back movement. When the shaft is in (relative to the front of the scope), it starts fine. But when is is out (toward the back of the scope), it doesn't start, although will continue to spin if I manually start it. Maybe a warn thrust washer or weak magnet. I don't see how to get at the thrust washed due to all the wring in the inside (front of scope ) part of the fan housing. Any thoughts?

CSA803A cal constants addresses in U500/U511
Albert Otten
As mentioned in other topics the 33 factory calibration constants in a CSA803A/B/C (and corresponding 11800 models) can be set, but not read, in U500/U511 using the GPIB command calcorrection. These constants get lost and replaced by zeros after severe T1331 error problems and "Dallas" battery replacement. When the constants addresses are known the NVRAM images could reveal whether a CSA likely still has its original calibration constants (not all zero).
In my CSA the addresses are, in sequence, U511:784F, U500:7850, U511:7850, U500:7851, U511:7851, ... , U500:785F, U511:785F. Time base firmware 4.01 . I speculate that these "constants" get never changed (from zero for instance) by ordinary accuracy commands. I haven't checked that (yet). Albert

175 Curve Tracer Rear 9-Pin Connector
Does anyone know for certain if the 9-Pin connector on the rear of the 175 curve tracer is pins or sockets? Photos I have seen are not clear enough, and none of the manuals describe non-Tektronix Amphenol connector part numbers.

Just finished reprogramming the FRAM with backup data and put it back into the scope, its once again working fine.
Time to put the cover back on.

Happy to report that I just swapped out the FRAM for the old original 1990 NVRAM, which I had completely forgotten about, and the error code went away.
Will try to erase and reprogram the FRAM, otherwise will just order a new one, plus another Aries adapter.

Is your supply loaded, or unloaded? Unloaded, all theChuck I only powered the supply while it was connected to the scope, never unloaded. Anyway, I found a problem and now the power supply is working again. But I am being greeted now by a 04 11 error message which indicated a faulty cal constant checksum. Maybe the FRAN did not like the lower power supply voltages or spikes etc. When I swapped out the old NVRAM I also programmed a fresh one and put it away just in case the FRAM would not work out. But so far the FRAM had been in the scope for almost a year without any problems until now. Guess I could just swap in that new programmed NVRAM to confirm the error goes away, and then try to reprogram the data back into the FRAM. What happened with the power supply? Well as said I had double/triple checked all caps, but... against my OWN NOTES which I had taken prior to start removing and replacing caps one by one. Turns out that in the case of C1220 and C1240 I read 10uF 100V but wrote down 100uF 10V. Then when it came to replace those two I grabbed a bag with two extra and somewhat different looking 100uF 25V separate from the other 100uF 25V caps that I was correctly using for the other spots. So I figured I had ordered these two extra ones just to "upgrade" those pesky 10V units up to 25V. Found out when I left the power on for a few minutes and heard another pop. Upon inspection C1220 had vented its top. It was obliviously pulling down the 87V rail. Oooops...
