About

Just some files related to refurbishing a Tektronix 2465B. Open an issue if the service manual ever goes offline.

3D Models

Measured with a 0.1±0.2mm accuracy digital Tacklife caliper (it is terrible). Designed to fit accuratly, but size may vary. None have been 3D printed yet.

  • ./grayKnob.scad is the small gray knobs
  • ./grayShaft.scad is the gray shaft behind some knobs
  • ./whiteShaft.scad is the bigger white shaft behind some knobs

Cleaning

The front-panel components were brightened with a Retrobright solution. A generous amount of Oxiclean and warm water seems sufficient. Tried sunlight and peracetic acid, I recommend not doing that.

Do not use solvents with the "Tektronix" metal label strip. The coating quickly gets removed.

TODO

  • Replace the BNC connectors
  • Replace the electrolytic capacitors
  • Replace the torx screws (all mine have been stripped)
  • Restore the blue case to original color
  • Test power supply voltage and ripple
  • Calibrate
