I ended up with a TDS520A for various reasons, and have managed to get it into a working state. However, the capacitors had never been changed, so thought it was prudent to replace these. The processo

While working on the LVPS in my 7514, an 8uF axial lead cap exploded like a firecracker (never had that happen and am unsure what caused it at this point). It was not connected backwards and I suspect

I have a Tektronix 7623A storage scope. I can easily change the distance between the top and bottom Readout lines. My problem is that the bottom line is too high on the screen, and I cannot find a tri

I'm starting the process of replacing the electrolytics in the LVPS in my 7514. I started with just C810 and C811 which are in series across the first diode bridge. Those, along with L810 and L811 for

Hi all, I acquired a 7L13 in a 7613 frame in an unknown state. After replacing the electrolytic bulk capacitors in the 7613 PSU the spectrum analyzer is now partially working. So far I have identified

Hey y'all, TL;DR: you can now disassemble and successfully reverse MC6800 with Ghidra by downloading this ( https://github.com/sigurasg/ghidra/tree/6800-specs-add/Ghidra/Processors/MC6800) language sp

Just a spoiler here, to gently encourage those owners who hope for the best, not to hope, but to DO, before damage occurs. https://groups.io/g/TekScopes/album?id=276138 The Scope was repaired, overhau

I've recently written to someone about how to replace an SMT op amp, and I thought it would be useful here, so here it is. It's obviously useful for other SMT parts as well. You'll find that desolderi

I have both a 7704A and a 7514. I finally got the readout working in the 7514 last night (faulty timer chip and faulty 2N3906 on the X output line); however, I notice that the characters in the 7514 a

Hi all, I think I'm getting closer to a working scope with my TDS540. The last step - I hope - is to replace some of the SRAM chips on the acquisition board. I've found these ones on Mouser : 972-6116

Hi, I'm new here and from Germany. I own numerous Tek items, which I collect and repair. I like the 7k, 11k series, 2465, and TM Power Modules and plug-ins. I'm happy to be here.

I acquired this https://groups.io/g/TekScopes/album?id=276161 HV unit recently. A closer inspection showed, that the inscriptions on the individual components contain cyrillic letters. Is it a Tek par

In a fit of nostalgia I watched the PBS production of Ursula K. Le Guin's Lathe of Heaven from 1979. The dream Augmentor used to control the main characters "effective dreams" contains a Tek 465 or 47

I have just acquired a 2467 in very good cosmetic condition both internally (I'd even say pristine!) and externally, but it falls over at switch-on. Front panel lights flash on, then off and the TRGD

Following the threads of 2467 Non Functional and 2467 RAM Replacement, I have now successfully replaced the RAM device to the extent that I still have a working scope but now I have the following Fail

Sometimes I "glue" broken plastic parts (made of e.g. ABS) with Dichloromethane (DCM). The solvent makes the plastic material viscous. After it's evaporated, the part is nearly like new. The adhesive

Glad to be back, got thrown off for responding to a spam at 9:38 AM today by marking it spam! Dang it! Regards,Jeff Kruth

I came across a seller on that big auction site who is offering some Tek 7000 plug-ins. I noted a peculiarity regarding some of the knobs and buttons where the plastic has turned brown. Has anyone see
