Tektronix TDS 744A teardown and repair 2
I continue working on the 1990s Tektronix TDS744A digital 4-channel 500 MHz oscilloscope. My plan was to fix the colors, but I ended up taking a closer look at the switching power supply board, testing and replacing a lot of high ESR electrolytic capacitors, fixing a board damage from electrolyte leakage and relubricating the fan. I did some experiments with the sequential color system. The color shutter has no voltage going into it. There's definitely a problem in its driver, but the shutter itself might be deteriorated too. For now, I decided to remove the color shutter. This gives me a bright monochrome picture. The oscilloscope is perfectly usable this way. I might try to put the shut...

Tektronix TDS 744A teardown and repair
Просмотров 12 тыс.14 дней назад
What's inside a 1990s Tektronix TDS744A digital 4-channel 500 MHz oscilloscope, fixing it. One channel has a huge DC offset. The monitor has some problems - the colors are not working, it shows weird dissolving circles. It's a CRT-LCD hybrid - a monochrome CRT tube with a solid state sequential color filter (liquid crystal color shutter / LCCS / LCS / NuColor). The next episode: ruclips.net/vid...

    This era of Tek scopes from the 90s are notorious for having bad caps everywhere, I've rebuilt a TDS 420A and a TDS 540 and it was the same issue and some were leaking. I ended up just replacing all capacitors throughout the scope, probably around a hundred of them. Not a difficult repair, but time consuming and expensive. These scopes are not bad for what you get, if you can get used to the clunky, lagging menu/interface design.

    If you have a short persistence of vision, as I do, these colour shutter displays are hideous. Horrible flickering display, great way to trigger a migraine. I can't believe they ever released this product.

    • @DiodeGoneWild
      @DiodeGoneWild 2 дня назад

      All people have about the same persistence of vision, but some are more easily annoyed by the effect sequential color displays create when they move their eyeballs rapidly. It might be annoying, but it gave it a better resolution than a tiny color CRT would have.
