Tek 455 Vertical deflection question
James, How about swapping the vertical leads to the neck pins to see if the problem tracks. Use test leads if necessary if the wires are too short. The additional length is fine in this case. That wil

Fixed: 547 poor vertical HF response; delay line sickness?
David, A guess here, moving the wire(s) caused it to be back where it should have been and adjusting what you did brought it back to in spec. Moving a wire or more can cause things to work or fail by

Zen, Check the 9V zeners in the scope(s) and the DM44. The ones that are open, use BZX85B9V1. In the scope, a 9V zener is going to the opamp for the 50V supply. Jeff D. is right about checking the sup

How to test a 155-0155-00 or 155-0120-00 from a TEK 455?
#file-notice
James, How about a 2N5911? This is a dual FET. I think it is a 1032 instead of the 1042 as you have. The jumper could be off the 95V supply. Check that. The other thing I think of is the filters for t

Tek 151-1042-00 : Matched JFET in a 7B80
Barry, From experience, replace the 0367s with KSP10BU. The diode check you found with them is typical from C to E. The replacements are BEC so watch inserting them in the sockets. I do not trust any

Harrison, What you describe is likely bad filter condensers and possible bad rectifier diodes. The condensers should be a high temp type, low ESR and long life type such as Nichicon ULD, UHE, UCY or L
