Absolutely brutal.
There's no doubt in my mind why so few of these scopes are around.
For instance, C416 and C540 on the Vertical Amplifier board T-575.
I disconnected 6 wires just to get the board to expose itself this much.
You can see down low, the vacant pass-through holes for C416.
There are still a dozen wires connected to this board that's 2" x 3".
Both .033uf NTK film caps were shot:
BSFeeChannel, once these caps are replaced, I'll go through the voltage and scope tests again. Things should look a little better, but...
...not until I get these two out:
C101 and C1012, .1uf NTK film capacitors sitting on top of the input BNC's. No sign of the second one so the faceplate will need to come off.
Got'em!
...and C502 and C511 on the Vertical Amplifier board T584 (notice the matched pairs of J-FET's, with sockets having gold plated soldering legs):
All of the NTK capacitors are removed. Every single one is bad (C102, C1012, C402, C403, C415, C416, C419, C502, C511, C540,and C801):
...and here's the Panasonic PP capacitors I ordered from Digi-Key to replace them:
.01uf ECW-F6103JL 5% 630 volt (P12110-ND)
0.1uf ECW-F6104JL 5% 630 volt (P12158-ND)
.033uf ECW-F4333JL 5% 400 volt (P12068-ND)
They should be here by Thursday.
I had a little time to detail the knobs and to apply new white paint!
