So two weeks after I landed a 475 which was sick, I have landed a 465B which is sick. I am becoming a home for sick Tektronix scopes. This one is in very good cosmetic condition and comes with the probe bag, graticules and the instructions for two P6106 probes. It also came with an HP probe which has been used by a gorilla or something as it's fecked and in pieces.
Current issues:
NO FOCUS / CRT CONTROL SHOT - RESOLVEDIn diagnostics now. Shows the gun is working but jammed right and defocused. Could be power supply or intensity shot.
15v rail is down - snipped out tants and it's working better.
15V RAIL SHORTED TANTS - RESOLVEDReplacing all tants on this rail to start with, probably the whole lot. On order.
Received. Replaced with Chinese electrolytic temporarily then proper ones. Some HF ripple now gone.
Have replaced all the ones showing signs of problems. Found a few screws that were loose (this causes grounding problems) and now and the trace is pin sharp.
GUNKY CHANNEL SELECTOR SWITCHES - RESOLVEDSticky switches - latching action iffy. Will have to yank and clean.
Didn’t have to yank. Managed to squirt enough switch cleaner in some holes to do the job and then exercise the switches.
NOISY FAN - RESOLVEDDismantle, clean and oil the fan bearing. Not noisy when flat, sucks when vertical. Just clean for now.
Cleaned all the crud out of the rear and the impeller blades and it's fine now.
CH2 ATTENUATOR JUMPY - RESOLVEDNeeds cleaning. Have cleaned it and issues resolved. There were a few loose screws which have been tightened and sorted.
CH1 POSITION KNOB BROKEN - IGNOREMinor. Bit missing off skirt. Ignore this - can hardly notice it
DIRTY - RESOLVEDAren't they always. Clean it! Cleaned and scrubbed!
