So, back on the Job after the 'Valve Jig' Diversion.
To recap, the PSU is now working properly and the new Cable allows a more sensible working environment.
When first tried the 162 Waveform Generator was a shambles - Waveforms horrible and the Controls not doing what they were supposed to do, at least as far as I could tell from the Manual.
I decided I'd better get back to basics first; Lubricated all the Switches (Servisol) and gave them a good twiddle, cleaned all the Valve bases and Valve Pins, checked the Resistors - the High value ones are all up even in Circuit but not out of tolerance - and switch on.
And .......
It does just what it says on the Tin
Much more Tektronix.
OK, the Frequency calibration is slightly off according to the 7704A but it's no big deal at this stage. Also, I haven't tried the Gated and Triggered Modes but at the moment this Unit is the source of all Wisdom, so free running is ideal.
Next the Indicator (Display Unit) - Type 360.
