Well, I'm back at it again trying to fix this old scope. I have the service and owners manuals, and I've read over the Tektronix scope troubleshooting guide. I believe something is wrong with the vertical amplifier or vertical pre-amplifier.
I've dragged it in to my school's lab to work on it (they have the equipment I need to do so,) and I'm about to leave for the day so I won't be able to do anything else till tomorrow.
What I've done so far:
-Tested the voltage rails, they all appear to be OK.
-Started the calibration procedure, which went well until I reached the step titled "MATCHING adjustment of Delay Line." I was able to get it calibrated, and gained a clue to this scope's fault, which I took a video of.
https://youtu.be/ClHPE3mwp4QThe waveform looks ok other than the amplitude being ~0.5 CM off when at the top half of the display(I'm guessing the vertical gain is off? That's the next step in calibration,) but as it is moved to the bottom it distorts and collapses in on itself. I'm feeding in a ~100Khz square wave at about 80mVp-p from an HP 3312A Function Generator, and have the proper waveform displayed on one of the school's scopes. Both probes are set to a 1x attenuation ratio.
I know the scope still needs a lot of calibration, but I'd like to figure out what is causing the fault before I continue, as I'll likely have to recalibrate it all over again afterwards. Any ideas or suggestions on what to check when I get here tomorrow would be wonderful.
