Re: What is the fairest way to distribute scarce Tek resources

Sounds to me it's either by chance or by whoever has the most money. I do well on eBay by taking advantage of people who don't know what they have or how to test it. That won't happen here.🙂

Re: EZ Test for 4041
Vince Vielhaber
There was a hard drive available for it. It was small, 10MB I think, but it worked. Really slow, but better than tapes.

First come, first serve is perfectly fair.
I haven't been able to follow the list as much as I used to, and I think it is perfectly fair that as a result I should have a lower chance at getting something, since I'm not contributing either.

Re: tektronix475 fault hv section? no trace

The last photo shows a regular oscillation as it should be.
Reconnect pin 24. Disconnect U1321 and pull out the socket at the rear of CRT. Set your test oscilloscope 50 V/div, 20 us/div (use a 10:1 probe eventually) and check the waveform on the CATHODE of CR1329 (pay attention to point the RIGHT diode!). You should see a sine wave of about 300 V p-p (110 V RMS approx.) at the same frequency of your third photo, approx 50 kHz . If it is present, then the oscillator works properly. Reconnect the rear plug on CRT socket (leave disconnected U1321 for now). If the previous waveform disappears, then a short somewhere in the CRT is the most probable cause. Possibly between cathode and filament (heater) or so. Don't be depressed, be patient! I just worked an entire week repairing a 475A with mad Z-axis, ending up discovering that there was a leakage between the first grid and the cathode... Max

Calibration suite for 500MHz TDS scopes
Dan Fish
I am downsizing. I have equipment that I have used (not in last several years) to get through calibration of TDS 500, 600, 700 series 500MHz scopes. I'm sure the equipment also applies to older digital and real time scopes. Be aware that this is just the test equipment, not the PC-AT, GBIB card/driver, or the Tek software you would also need. Info and software available on the GPIB subject through this group. I would like to bundle all this test equipment and ship it to one new owner, and I am asking this group first before putting it up on ebay. Any reasonable offers would be considered. Equip list and condition:
1. TM506 chassis, was rack-mounted, usual wear and tear, fan OK. Has four TM500 series plug-ins (below), all working, all have unbroken plastic bezels and clean front panels, three of the four have their pull-tabs. Pendant power cord. 2. SG503 Leveled Sine Wave Generator - in good shape except the missing pull-tab. 3. SG504 Leveled Sine Wave Generator - in good shape. I have seen it not switch correctly from Low to the High range when checking it out, but that seems to have gone away after exercising the switches. 4. Leveling head for the SG504 - not Tek, but from kit by group member. There is an adjustment inside for flatness that I did not have calibrated equipment to adjust, so it is just centered. Appeared flat using Boonton Millivolt meter. 5. DM501A Digital Multimeter - never used it myself, a handheld meter always seemed handier. Range switches acting up, may improve with exercise. 6. PS503A Power Supply, has +20, -20 adjustable and 5V fixed. Tracking knob is cracked. 7. Analogic DC Voltage Standard model AN3100 (not part of TM series) - precision DC source used in calibration procedures, in good shape with usual wear and tear. 8. A homebrew splitter for channel delay synchronization. The chassis has two more open slots. I will provide power cord and copied manual for the AN3100, Manuals are available for the TM500 series through this group. If interested email me off-group at defish1@comcast.net. I can provide pictures or whatever.

Tektronix 4S3
Hi all , does anyone on here have spare or know where I might get hold of a 4S3 plug-in for my 661 , its the only plug-in I dont have . There is no need for it to be in working order or for there to be any P6038 probes with it as I can sort that out . Much easier if located in the UK but maybe unlikely .
thanks in advance Brian

Re: What is the fairest way to distribute scarce Tek resources
Reginald Beardsley
We already have Dave Kirkby's list in addition to LeCroy, Tek and HPAK specific lists. I bought quite a bit of Sun equipment via the misc.forsale.computers.workstations Usenet list almost 30 years ago. Never had a problem. I also maintained a long list of computer resellers compiled from trade rags and other sources which I posted regularly.
The public nature of the mailing lists makes it very difficult for bad actors. They are quickly driven off. While it's fairly easy to fake an email identity, it's a lot harder to fake a bank account. I bought an 8753B/45076A and an 8566B from members of the HPAK and Kirkby's list with payment by check. Never had the least qualms about it. If the groups.io files section uses sticky bit so that only the creator can modify or delete files then we could have a "for sale/wanted" section for people to list things in and update it as items sell or are obtained. Dave, What chassis do you trying to get rid of? Reg

Re: How can we set up a Parts Wanted list on Groups.io
Dave Daniel
Just off of the top of my head, this would be a perfect application for a MediaWiki site (wiki framework that TekWiki uses. Why?
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The main problem I see with group forum is that I think we would want individuals to be able to add available parts of wanted parts without everything having to go through a moderator. A moderator would be useful to keep the lists ummmm.... correct, not in an editorial sense but in a bottlewashing and botton sorting type of role. A wkik allows anyonecwho is given access (and there are multiple levels of access) an easy way to edit the parts lists - and it IS easy - the markup language is straightforward. Anyway, I used to be a semi-unwilling admin for a TekWiki site where an entire engineering team used it to create a structured and indexed set of arch and design documents for the development of a large embedded system. After a couple of weenks, the engineers were using it without much effort and it worked quite well. DaveD Sent from a small flat thingy
