Hello,
I'm a happy new user of a 21 year old Keithley 2000
I already replaced the electrolytic caps and am facing now one issue in the VDC reading whne nothing is connected to the leads. If I connect the leads to e.g. 5V the display is not shifting anymore.
The voltage reading is shifting slowly from -0,4V to -1,2V. This process starts over and over again everytime it hits the -1,2V.
I measured around a little bit and in the end I noticed something strange:
Although the positive (4,98V) and negative (2,479V) inputs of the U115-A are stable, the output is doing the same thing as described at the display. I thougt it might be that the shift is coming from the net "UNNAMEDNET146" but after measuring U115-B (+: -9mV, -: 2,48V, out: -15,68V), I think that the problem is either in Q104 or U115-A.
It was very interesting that when probing the drain and source of Q104 (drain: -1mV, source, -1mV, gate: doing this shift thing from -0,4...-1,2V) the shifting on the display stopped and I got a -9mV reading on the display.
The same happens when I probe the source of Q105 (drain: -9mV, source, -1mV, Gate: -15,66V).
I already wanted to order the JFET and the LM339D but I think it's better to ask if someone had an similar issue?
The schematic can be found here:

Thank you very much in advance!
