Hello all.
At the local Makerspace, I've volunteered to fix an old oscilloscope, namely Tektronix 2213, a 60MHz CRO. Problem is that it just does not turn on. There is a green LED, subtle transformer hum and that's it.
Usual routine: I open scope up, check voltages: EVERYTHING is WAY off. 8.6V is at 1.1V, 5.2V is at 0.(something). Visually there are no blown components, nor caps have popped.
Being quite clueless on the course of action, I take out my thermal camera and whoa, an inductor near the transformer is glowing >120C!
I then googled for service manuals and found two scans, made by apparently different people, both of which are missing schematic #9, "Power Supply and CRT", where this inductor is depicted. It is labelled L971 on the board layout but that's pretty much info on it in those manuals.
But, knowing Tektronix has scopes that internally have similarities, namely 2215A and 2235, I dug up the service manuals for those. No wonder, both those scopes have inductor at the same spot, near 4 parallel placed diodes. In 2235 this inductor is labelled L960 and it is doing something on this schematic:
So question is: why does this inductor gets so hot?.. Is this a failure of one or multiple diodes? Is this a transformer winding short?.. Please advise.
Also, does anyone have Schematic 9 labelled "Power Supply and CRT" for Tektronix 2213? This would be handy for future repairs (I kinda do enjoy this lol).
I've attached the original FLIR JPEG if you guys want to measure different spots.
Thanks for the help!
