7A16A high frequency compensation.
Max, Some plugins of that era had small ceramic trimmers that went open circuit. See if one of the trimmers does not seem to have the effect implied by the calibration procedure. --John Gord

Interesting Lissajous
Barry, There are two serious limitations to the 7704A XY mode at higher frequencies: The Y path includes the delay line. The X path (horizontal) has limited bandwidth (a couple MHz or so). In the mid

Parts for a Tek 920 or 922?
Dan, If I remember correctly, the knob and shaft are a single plastic part. The shaft can probably be just pulled out, and the whole knob/shaft piece replaced without changing the attenuator. --John G

TDS3012 and up
The main boards for the TDS30xx 4 channel units are different from the 2 channel units. I don't think there is any (practical) way to convert a TDS3012 to a TDS3014 without a total main board transpla

7A26 input problems and "IDENTIFY" Button not working
William, See if the channel 2 "spiking" occurs at all Volts/div settings, or only some of them. If it is only present at some settings, suspect the attenuators or possibly the switches. The attenuator

Tektronix 067-1338-0x calibration step generator for SD-series sampling heads
The main feature of the Tektronix 067-1338-0x is the step rise time of under 20ps. The 33120A arbitrary waveform generator is much, much slower. --John Gord

Somewhat OT- WTB tiny CRT scopes
Note that the 1DP11 has a much lower filament power than some of the other 1 inch CRTs. Most of them were 600mA, 6.3V. I think the NLS mini-scopes had a low power (directly heated?) filament. --John G

24xx External Trigger?
Barry, If you are willing to modify your 2445, you could patch one of the rear panel BNC connectors to the Line trigger input of U500 (pin 28), with appropriate precautions, of course. I don't know ho

Broke my TDS3000B
David, The TDS3000 series scopes have a fast-in, slow-out chip that is used for the higher sample rates. Apparently that chip is enabled for sample rates above 2.5 million samp/sec, but a normal ADC i

Lot of threads on 24xxB but few on 24xx"A" ...
Chuck, Even on the plain 2465, most of the front panel control is still routed through the CPU. The difference is that the later scopes use incremental rather than absolute encoders on the controls. I
