Thanks for the nice comment! I'm also a Ham although I only work VHF these days because my new place is strictly no antennas. Good luck with the hobby and hope you find some of my future videos enjoyable!

I think I have the same issue, my display is a series of dashes running across the screen - not a solid line as in this video. Just be sure to read the service instruction manual and be safe!

Yeah the 465 is a bit confusing that way, I was frustrated a bit trying to figure the same thing out at one point. As it turns out the 10,20 and 50 volts/div aren't full modes on their own, 10,20 or 50 will light up when you set the probe to 10x. i.e. if at 5v, but probe is at 10x the 50v mode should be lit up on the dial even though the dial does not physically move that far. I think you need to use a real TEK probe to make the light illuminate; there's a little pin on the TEK probes to signal they are in 10x mode. Also the light can burn out (my scope has that problem) so it won't indicate 10,20 or 50v modes....

The light on the right comes on when the left goes out due to the official vintage 10x tek probes having an estra post on the outside making contact to the outer ring around the BNC jack. Short the outer bnc connector to the ring, (possibly with a 1m ohm resistor, not sure, don't have an old probe to measure) and the lights will reverse. if you look very closely at the base of the connector protruding through the face of the scope, you will slap your forehead and laugh!

Hey thanks for the comment. That output is literally my favorite feature of the scope; so much so that I ended up doing a video just on it!

Awesome! Lucky to have the model with the DMM. I have a digital scope too but my go-to is the 465. Not only does the display look prettier, but to get a basic measurement it is easier in my books.

Electronically leaking capacitors?

Go to the voltage test points and check all of the voltages. Usually one of the rails is low and needs new filter capacitor or bridge rectifier(mine had this problem). Sometimes that's all it is. Also check the rails for a short to ground. Sometimes as mentioned, a tantalum cap can short too, and that could also be the cause if you have a bad rectifier and blown fuse. Start there. Plenty of info in the manual to help you do this, but again, start here.

@@davidausterman5915 thanks so much for taking the time to reply! I hope to get some time to work on it this fall!

That's a great idea! I'll do my best to create something soon.

Thanks for the kind words. I have a DX-959 that I've been meaning to do a video or two on. Having a few CB'ers on the channel is great.

@@RetroLogicLaboratory can you do a video on the galaxy 959 and show how to use the scope as a station monitor sir? Thanks kindly sir

@@cbradiomizfit7562 That's a great suggestion. I've got one piece of equipment to repair first and then I'll get on this video idea. I've been looking for a good topic to highlight the DX-959 so thanks for the idea!

Hi, sorry for the slow reply my life has been very busy lately. The Trig View button allows you to see the voltage level the A Trigger is set to. If you press it down, then adjust the A trigger level, the beam will show the trigger voltage. PS I worked in Brazil on a project several years ago in Rio. Such a great country!

Awesome! Glad my rambling on was helpful! The best way to learn about electronics is to play around with projects that you find interesting.

I noticed your display is much error clearer and sharper. The trigger works ok with all the wave forms fr

From signal generator, but looks fuzzy. Do you have any hints to offer that would correct this problem like maybe some caps that are leaking...I have the repair manual.

Hi, sorry for the slow reply. I am no expert in repairing the TEK 465, but my first guess would be to borrow another set of probes from someone just in case its something simple. If not, I think the low voltage power supply can be a potential issue. I've been fortunate enough to not have any issues with mine yet!

Hey thanks for the comment! I really appreciate it. The 465 is a great scope and it’s nice to have an analog scope for quick measurements. And if you are bored they are pretty to just run a signal through for fun.

Any basic probe will do the trick. I have a P6062A which seems to be a great match for this scope.

Hi, thanks for watching my video. I hope I understand what you are referring to - basically, when you switch the probe to x10, the little window is supposed to light up. There are two catches though to that; 1, it will only light up with a probe that has the little extra pin thing on the side of the connector. Technically this is called a "probe with scale factor switching connector", if you google it you'll see what I mean. The second catch is that the x10 light is often burnt out on these scopes. Which makes it confusing because some ranges are only accessible via x10.... Having said that, the actual switching between x1 and x10 is entirely within the probe itself, the light only shows the status.

@@RetroLogicLaboratory Thank You for getting back to me. I now see see that the BNC connector "GND" has a 57K resistance to the face of the BNC. I suppose that is where the extra pin would connect to scope. Thank again.

Hi, thanks for the feedback! Wow, $20 is cheap, this is still a useful piece of equipment.

@@RetroLogicLaboratory I found mine at the dump works great!

Learn how to repair electronics and be safe around electronics. The repair component to fix it aren’t insane. And there isn’t that many parts inside even if you hypothetically had to check every part. There like 10,000s if volts of the cathode ray tube. So yeah the only catch is you can die trying to fix it if you’re not careful. So I guess there’s that lol...

Awesome deal! Its a great scope and probably my favorite piece of test gear. I've got a bunch of scopes and its my go-to unit day to day. Actually, right now I am working on a new TEK 465 video which should be up in a few days.
