I do enjoy your podcast, and I must present an offering to the “Gods of Homebrew”, <\/b><\/div>\n
An on-line find of an old Tek 545 oscilloscope presented a chance to enjoy the warmth of 100+ tubes (once repaired)<\/b><\/div>\n
The outside was heavily scratched, the inside looked like a chicken coup, but no major bits missing or broken. <\/b><\/div>\n
Lots of cleaning, testing all tubes,(using the excellent uTracer tube tracer), replacing the broken 3, remounting the cooling fan, lots of reading about tube oscilloscopes, adjusting the trigger circuit, rebuilding 3 electrolytic power supply capacitors, sandblasting the cabinet and a coat of BLUE paint<\/span>. <\/b><\/div>\n
Voila, the joy of (visual) oscillation! (1MHz 2V p-p)<\/b><\/div>\n
