Definitely interested. I bought a 222 to add to my collection, but it’s turned out to be surprisingly useful. I’d like to replace the dud lead-acid battery but the usual replacements involve

I understood you weren't referring to me, Amirb! I just tried to correct my earlier mistake: quoting the wrong part of a message. Raymond

no, no, of course not you, man!

I made a mistake in my earlier reply re. amirb's post. amirb wrote: Amirb, do you mean the part where I wrote " BTW, the repetition rate is completely irrelevant for digital 'scopes"? I should add

well, that was the tone I got from that message anyways... I just looked up the TDS3000 manual, and it seems to me that they are using the pulser for tuning the channels' deskew (hope i am using the

What makes you say that? Raymond

Calibration means: first ""measuring"" a set of parameters from a standard calibration generator (rise time, DC gain, time interval, BW, etc....) and then "adjusting" the instrument to bring those

Amirb, you mean that part? I haven't read all posts. I should add that it's as irrelevant for analog 'scopes, apart from the fact that with the latter, trace intensity suffers too much at lower

If you look down this thread, I tried to say the same thing but somebody got pissed for some reason!

It depends on what is needed. A pulse generator like John Williams' is suitable for checking or adjusting slew rate, which means maximum HF content. That is not the same as adjusting for optimum

Hi all, One of my customers approached me a few weeks ago about a project to replace the sealed lead acid battery (now unobtainium) in Tek 222/224 scopes with lithium ion cells that presumably will

Leo Bodnar's (no affiliation) fast pulse generators have 40ps max. rise time and 10 MHz repetition rate. BTW, the repetition rate is completely irrelevant for digital 'scopes. Raymond

Bert, There has been posted (on another list and a long time ago) a method to repair scratches and bare spots on radios with wrinkle paint. In summary: you make an impression with rubber

You can start by downloading an operating and service manual from here: http://w140.com/tekwiki/wiki/2710 I think in general the first thing most people do is open it up and take a look. Next up is

I'm very seldom happy with the results of my painting efforts. The main thing I was trying for here was to touch up some scrapes on my Tek scopes and so far that's not working out. Bert

I have a Tektronix 2710 Spectrum Analyzer that out of the blue suddenly will no longer power up.. Worked yesterday, but not today.. S/N is #B033914 I'm the second owner for many many years.. Never

I use one of the cheap HLVP guns from HF; it can be used for latex or enamel, just has to be thinned properly. It works pretty well. It's unlikely you'll find someone to mix up less than a gallon

Bert: I like the color of the Bahama Sea - bright. All: Expanding the topic a bit, but: what are your thoughts on the way (method) to paint? Off the shelf spray paint is convenient but is not

To use some of your words, "you are confusing calibration with adjustment". Obviously the word Calibration mean different things to different people. Calibration, at least how we did it at Tek in

Bert: I, for one, would very much like to see the photo - I have several Tek scopes that I would like to repaint and having a close, consistent color would help greatly. I'll PM you separately with
