Title: Keithley 2700 broken AMPS jack?
Post by: pso on February 09, 2022, 01:04:30 pm

Hi,
i hope that somebody can help me on this?
maybe a picture of the AMPS jack inside and fuse holder would help already.

I’m not sure if something is really broken, or maybe there is a part missing?
I already was asking in the Tektronix Forum - but seems they are busy.

This is the Plug and probably there is something broken - from the backside it looks like others found in the www - not sure now.

this is the fuse holder, but there is no chance that this will work

any advice? or a workaround?
thanks in advance

Hi,
many thanks for the link - now i can be sure that‘s broken.
seems to be a poor construction.

maybe a workaround will be saver, then trying to find a new front panel.
