Hi, noob here,
I have an old Tektronix TDS 340 (w/ Option 14) in great condition. It's clean in and out has obviously been well taken care of, was calibrated in 2018, and passes all diagnostic self tests and calibration.
The one flaw is that channel 1 is a bit noisy compared to channel 2.
I know that these can often use new caps. While the noise is not *necessarily* caused by bad cap(s), I think it's a good place to start.
My question is: Since the noise is only on channel 1, I'm guessing the problem probably isn't on the power supply board, that would affect both channels, but which area, or which caps, are past the channel separation? Or generally which caps should I suspect first?
Also, if anyone has the schematics for this unit, that would be great. All I can find is the TDS340A Technical Reference manual, and I don't know how different those 2 units are.
Cheers!
