What do you guys think of this curve tracer compared to other “real” Tek ones? What would it compare to in the official Tek line? Is it worth it? I’ve never used a curve tracer before, and I don’t own

Rebonjour a tous: Same low SN B062 2465B has extrême CH1,2 compression on lower part of display. CH 3, 4 are perfect and normal. Photo Album: 2465B CH1,2 compression Taken with 100 kHz triangle on CH

I have noticed that much of the Tek gear we all seem interested in has no electrical safety approval of any kind. the same is true for HP gear. at what point did Tek actually incorporate equipment saf

I just joined here, having been a member of Yahoo! group some years ago. After checking with the moderator, apparently I am allowed to post that I have a 7854 working scope with 7A26, 7A16P, 7B80 and

Hello, Does anyone know the chemical composition of the dark deposits on IC pins that are close to leaking SMD caps? What is the best way to clean them? Litmus paper shows base (hard to tell because i

Here is a 1A5 in a 132 for $85. Looks pretty nice but no pictures of it working. Still a good price. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tektronix-1A5-Differential-Amplifier-in-a-Tek-132-Power-Unit-Vintage/32448

I have a 465B that is looking good and running well, except that the coupler for ch 2 amplitude var coupler is broken. Check these two tweets in a twitter thread for images of the broken part includin

Hi all, just joined. Owner of a Rigol 1054z, satisfied user for what I am currently doing (especially for the price!) . Being a 50/100MHz with 1Gs/s bw scope, I wanted to explore other options to incr

Hi all, I don't know if I made a mistake during alignment or if I just didn't notice it before, but the step generator is no longer working properly. In NPN mode it gives a constant +30V, in PNP it lo

Hi folks, I have 2445B for quite many years, thanks to this awesome group and some super helpful members like Siggy or Chuck and others I dealt with leaky caps on the A5 board, backed up and copied ca

Hello I am new to this group. Recently I restored 2465B and which works well. While fine tuning the CRT focus and I notice following things. CRT cathode volt of mine is -1960V which higher from schema

Since I'm going to be working on this 3T77A plug-in for a while, an extender is necessary. Some years ago I acquired a pair of Amphenol connectors with the intention of building my own extender, but n

I’ve just realized that for a long time I’ve been using 75ohm-20’´ long coax for my calibration procedures are for mostly everything when coax cables are required. I trusted the place I bought these f

Hello, I just spotted some TDS5054B-NV-AV variant of the TDS5054, but after some googling it seems I can't find any information about what that NV-AV variant is about... Anyone can shed some light on

The CTC-4 used a 6CB5. I can't recall ever having seen an 807 in a color set, so I was very intrigued by your post. Indeed, I only saw a few in very old B&W sets, lots of 6BG6s in later (but still ear

I've just taken delivery of a very tidy example of the Tek 127 Preamplifier Power Supply. I've often wished that my 535A had more horizontal bays, and now it can have them. I note that it has selenium

Greetings, I just stumbled across a Tektronix shaft coupler on eBay and recall someone on our group was seeking a coupler. I have no connection to the seller: Good luck if you need it. Tektronix 376-0

from Tim P (UK) How reliable are the J-FETs (usually 151-1004-00) used in Tek plug-ins? Also, does it really matter which way round they are in the sockets? The manual shows Source, Gate & Drain, but
