Re: TV on a 7000 Scope - impossible on any other lab scope
A triggered scope already blanks the retrace, so nothing else is needed. Feed the sweep into the X & Y channels, and the video to the Z input. Adjust the gain and intensity to suit.

Hi Don, D.how does one obtain the sweep gate? Cheers

I feel the pain, good advice on defocussing. Sadly it seems the

Perhaps they used the sweep gate signal fed into the Z input, maybe
with a bit of external circuitry (especially if intensity modulation
was also needed).

I tried eBay when it was first mentioned and got the 7D20s but I
think there was also a manual for a 7J20, I think for $70.00. Now
there are no hits, maybe they all sold?

Re: OT variac brushes ( operation )
Don Black <donald_black@...>
Carbon brushes aren't what they at first seem. They have different
resistivity in different directions so they conduct well from the
face to the rear connection but poorly across the face to minimize
the current flowing from turn to turn (or segment to segment in a
commutator). I'm sure others who work with them will be able to add
more to this. Also, I believe the brush material differs depending
on the voltage and current they operate at.

Yes... I had overlooked the trigger input amplifiers section. I wish I had a better manual than the download I am looking at. I will do some more troubleshooting tomorrow now that I have a place to look. I have already removed the A8 board. I will let you know what I find tomorrow. Thanks very much, Bob

in case it hasn't arrived the first, second, etc time it was said in this thread, there are NO AUCTIONS WITH 7J20 ON EBAY, it was an error, they are 7*DEEE*20's. Let's not make this thread into a junkyard scrounging festival. D.

Re: 7D15 with very nasty short on -15V ... almost made me cry the first time I plu
The interface board where the -15 volt supply comes in includes the
trigger input amplifiers on schematic 1 which make extensive use of the -15 volt supply and the gating and control logic on schematic 2 which only uses the -15 volt supply for resistive level shifting and biasing. -15 volts is also supplied to the switching regulator on board A8 which produces -5 volts for the ECL logic. You can pull board A8 off of the interface board without too much trouble after removing two screws. I would also remove U43 and U143 on schematic 2 to see if they are shorting the -15 supply.

The short has been isolated to the "interface A" board.
