Hi Harvey, Yes, special components can pose an issue. Lots to think about. TNX,John

Hi Dave, OK - with hand-on-heart and a confession...I have stuff everywhere!  Heck, I have no idea why my wife puts up with me (we've know each other >50yrs).  The plan is to get a "shop" and reduce

Hi Renée, I like the way you think...working on it.... Kind regards,John

Hi Tom, Had a hiccup here... I am not yet up-to-date with the different flavors of the 2465 - learning a lot from the replies - THANKS! Kind regards,John

Hi Karin, As with several Tek models, the 7A26 attenuator has polyphenylene oxide (PPO) boards. Aside from its low melting temp, it is sensitive to certain common solvents. I use isopropyl alcohol to

The attenuators in TEK plug-ins are super sensitive, some of the PCB substrate is polysolfone 99% Isopropyl alcohol may be the only approved wash. Deoxit, contact cleaners, almost anything else

Earlier I wrote... I should have known better, I suppose, than to tempt fate :) The 10µF 100V caps looked and measured OK and I left them in situ, the two 180µF caps for the +/- 15V unregulated
