pac1085's rambling test equipment thread

[Nashou66]

Yeah...I've been having this feeling a lot over the past 6 months. I sold a whole bunch of stuff for little money after convincing myself that I'd never use it, but time and time again, a few months later I find some reason why I should have kept it. Many times I end up buying it again at a higher price.

I'm just going to go full on hoarder at this point. Lol.

I have a dead SG503 hopefully I can revive that. I just bought a dead TG501 on eBay, well it powers on but doesn't produce any output. Hopefully I can fix that but I'm a little worried since the seller himself seems to be pretty technical. Between those and the Leo Bodnar pulser that I already own, I think I can get this thing pretty darn close to proper.

I Hope your documenting the calibration procedure for the benefit of others.....Like me lol

I have a 2445 thats all good but I never opened it up or did any maintenance on it. My 2335 has got wanky and I need to check that out at some point.

Good luck Phil !

Yeah ill post notes here if anything but im not sure that ill make a video on it. Maybe at some point once I master it.
I have a 2445B as well (I actually just bought it so steal the A5 board out of for this scope, but it was in such nice shape I had to leave it alone lol). On that one I properly backed up the nvram and replaced the chip with one of those RAMTRON FRAM chips. It's been fine. Although that one needs the power supply rebuilt still. I have all of the parts set aside in a bag, just need to bang it out one of these days.
