Speaking of carbon comp resistors that change value... If you have any Tek S-xx sampling heads for the 7000 series scopes that are not working (almost always shows up with a flat trace off the top or bottom of the screen, visible with the beam finder) the problem is usually that one or more of those 1/10 watt 5% carbon comp resistors have changed in value quite a bit. 20-30% changes are not uncommon.
The other problem (that is almost never repairable) is fried sampling diodes... some idiot over-volted the input (wasn't me... I promise... I'd never do that... I promise...) ---------------------------------------- _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™: Keep your life in sync. http://windowslive.com/explore?ocid=PID23384::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-US:NF_BR_sync:082009 _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
