Spent way too much time trying to get this horizontal amplifier not to be biased and failing miserably. All components seem to be fine but the whole is not. Argh.

The Tektronix 7704A oscilloscope is the most modular analogue oscilloscope I know: not only does it have space for four amplifier and trigger plugins, but even the 'display unit' holding the CRT can be swapped for another one.
After several years of owning a spare 'display unit' I finally have a project where this strange feature may turn out to be actually useful. But first these machines need some maintenance and repair. -

Though a rudimentary DSO by today’s standards, I still find this 1980s era Tektronix digitizer plugin to be quite useful. At 100ms and under, it’s got a cool ‘continuous roll’ display that’s handy for slower signals.
This is one of several multi-bay plugins for the 7000 series, and it’s well suited for the 7603 mainframe, with its larger screen.

I set up the first devices in the new laboratory. The electronics laboratory is now fully air-conditioned. Stable temperatures for calibration. Soon the work tables will be set up. #hp #agilent #keysight #tektronix #rohdeubdschwarz

Definitely riding the struggle bus trying to fix this #Tektronix 4907 power supply. A pretty simple linear supply that blows a fuse 33% of the times you turn it on.
Things it's not:
- Any of the loads
- The two saltshaker-sized bulk capacitors
- The crowbar on the +5V rail
Find the schematic on page 208 of this PDF if you'd like to play along...

An update on the lab floor renovation. The flooring is finished, and the lighting is installed. The door and electrical outlets are still missing. I could start planning the lab benches.
Soon the air conditioning will be installed.

With a working GPIB connection (thanks @vk2bea !), I'm able to read out the full error log from my Tektronix TDS754D.
ERROR: diagnostic test failure, digDataFormatDiag, ERROR!!BYTE mode, in demux 200 ,i= 7 memBaseAdr 0x7380010= data = 5600, expectedData[i] = 5500"
ibterm>errlog:next?I'm suspecting (and hoping) this is a bad ram chip). I have a tenuous understanding of the whole system, but I'm only seeing capture errors on some sweep rates, and dependent on which / how many channels are active.
It's an utterly bad-ass instrument, and I'd love to get it back to 100% -

This shelf is a _little_ high, but I liked the idea of fitting a 500 series scope under it. We’ll see if that plan holds.
I have to restrain myself from putting too much more stuff on here before I fasten the shelves and possibly put a finish on them. The network analyzer in particular is _heavy_ but it’s probably the beefiest thing going up there, so I wanted to do a deflection test. Turns out 1/4” steel brackets are strong.

I am not buying oscilloscopes anymore but my only portable (luggable) scope recently died, so I got something a lot smaller but still vintage: this cute Sony/Tektronix 335, from 1976 I believe.
