Bonjour, from 1970s....1990s We used the DC TEK probes for power electronics design and debugging. The P6042 typically has a poor DC baseline stability, and the coarse / vernier DC control potentiomet

Hello I may have that cable, it was removed from a P6042 but problem was elsewhere. I think the cable is OK. Soonest I can access that storage is mid December if you can wait or dont find one before.

Chris if vibrations affect the offset I suspect a hairline crack in the core half. Any signs of dropping? Use a magnifying lens on the shiny mating surfaces of the core. Jon

Hello all I designed the Metcal SP-200 back before 1992. The curie point tip combines the heater and temperature regulation. The result is much less temp overshoot especially if the work has a big the

Chris you have throughly degaussed it? A permanent magnetic field bias is one explanation Jon

Hello all, I have been following this most interesting thread. As a retired magnetics designer and manufacturer, virtually all commercial firms are fabricating mass production in China. The set-up is

Hello there The plug-ins cal is easier if you can find or make a plug-in extender, the original TEK Extenders came in a black suitcase and there were both rigid and flat cable types The set of extende

Bonjour a tous! The 2465B I am restoring has OPT 06,09, GPIB, WR, CTT. It arrived with all the option cables disconnected as PSU had been pulled in an attempt to service it. (not a gorilla, but he jus

Bonjour Chuck, perfect note! Its especially interesting as I will do transient response adjustment on 5 units 2465/7/B this Winter. Your scrap metal capacité probe could be a screwdriver tip covered i

Hello all, the NVRAM Dallas 1225 in 246xB can be easily removed from the PCB and a machined pin low profile 28 pin socket installed. The TL 866 PROM programmers are available from China on epay about

Dale I have built H pad and T pad attenuators in a small adapter box, (Pomona or Tek). I founded that with careful resistor choice and lead dress, They are OK IF you don't need 1-2 GHz. What's your ap

Dale, we use Mini Circuits HAT series attenuators DC-2GHz, $10 ea, highly recommended Better than the old TEK parts. Jon

Hello all curious about NVRAMs data. Do the 2456B NVRAM images differ for various options eg 06, 09 GPIB, WR, CTT? Or for different serial number ranges? Or perhaps NVRAM images are same for all scope

Hello all restoring a fine 2465B opt 06, 09. The PSU needs recapping and may have other faults. I would like to have a spare as I have other units. If anyone has a spare PSU that works, I am intereste

Hello all, I did contact Sphere in Canada no response so far. The 3D process can reproduce shapes but the materials are always inferior to the original material, due to the 3D process. Finally a kind

Hello all: restoring a 2465B TEK scope that is missing the front and rear feet: 2 pcs foot bottom front plastic 348-0740-00 2 pcs foot cabinet cord wrap 348-0729-01 Also missing the special TORX - 15

Hi again, I shot 4 better images: http://crypto-museum.org/TEK/2465B_CRTPIN.pdf first 2 suspect bernt pin uint, last 2 another normal unit. Really hope the veteran 2465Bers can comment! Bon journee, J

Hello all: Here is a photo of the CRT VERT plate and term in a newly received 2465B. the area around the term is VERY delicate and affects Vert transient response. I have NEVER seen a CRT pin bent lik

Bonjour, I had 577 in 1980s, a fine unit,with 1500 v max voltage so usefulness for power semiconductor testing. Found at Silicon Valley auction, paid $2600. Compact use of bench space compared to 576.
