Hello and thank you for your feedback. I am taking this oscilloscope as a Project, my idea is to understand how it works, service it, if possible get it to a better condition and most important learn on the process. I don't have money for a Rigol DS1052E, but in the next years that could be the next step for me.
I notice my oscilloscope has been serviced before, 3 things caught my eye:
1- black plastic cable tie repair (see picture)
2- condensator 8.2 on the under side of the TB-board (see picture) (Not sure if this is factory original or added later)
it connects a pin of the flip-flop SN74ls74an to a bc237
3- I noticed a resistor that may had been changed on the XY-Board, it measures 56.5 ohm (see picture), near the resistor the text handwrited, 51,1 ohm, (i think this is not so important).
===============
I measure the voltages on the TB-Board against chassis:
Reference: Multimeter DC V
Y-Pl- +3.75 V -> + 3.8 V
+140 V -> + 144.8 V
+170 V -> + 173.2 V
+5 V (-12V antipole) -> - 6.5 V
+24 V -> + 24.3 V
+ 5 V -> + 4.95 V
-12 V -> - 11.84 V
I took some precautions for the measurement
- Unplug Oscilloscope and wait
- Connect Multimeter
- Remotly swithching AC
- Repeat
I am wondering why am i getting -6.5V on that control point, or if i am measuring it right against chassis, not sure if i should get +5V or -12V.
===============
On the YF-02 Board i noticed two resistors that are shattered! both measure 560 ohm, so they seem to work ok (see picture)
===============
I don't have an HV-Probe and i have easy but limited access to a second oscilloscope at my workplace (a bit far away to carry my oscilloscope there).
I'm definitely planning to find an isolation transformer for my home-lab, i am still giving it a thought on how much power do i need, but at the moment don't have one.
===============
I didn't find on the documentation what the Checkpoint 5.5 V_pp on the TB-Board means (See Picture). Has it something to do with the blanking?
Thank you!
