Tektronix 2445 Oscilloscope Repair Revisited part 1 of 1
My Tektronix 2445 oscilloscope slowly started failing until it finally stopped functioning altogether a few months ago... find out how I repair it in this video Enjoy :) I systematically replaced a number of old components rated for 85C° (17 electrolytic capacitors on the powersupply boards A2 & A3) , with equivalent capacitors rated for 105C°, as well as 3 paper capacitors and 1 (probably) mylar one by PP film capacitors rated for 1KV and 630V respectively. I suspected that the replaced (failed/failing) components were either inferior in quality or just not rated properly (temperature-wise) for the job. The final outcome of the repair session seems to have confirmed the initial assessment was correct Use of a desoldering gun and a dremel tool for the repair are recommended. Do use good quality solder + flux, since the PCB's are doublesided and require soldering on BOTH sides. Be meticulous and careful while soldering and check every solderpoint; retouch where necessary. Be gentle when dis- or reconnecting PCB's and connectors, most are very sensitive to mechanical or heat stress. Make sure your hands and tools are properly grounded for static electricity, BEFORE touching IC-boards Be careful when working on / testing the oscilloscope, there is DANGER(!) : Deadly High Voltage and possibly harmful chemicals !
