Terry's Tek 465
#8

I thought I never get to fix this one until late summer, as I am deep into 38-690 now.....but it is in waiting for the rebuilt electrolytics which I have yet to cut open and I had a little intermission, so I got to the scope.

It's fun to fix solid state, plus this is something I really know quite a bit better than vacuum technology.
But as everywhere, one's got to be methodical in diagnosing, poke, smell and listen Icon_smile

I have to give proper dues to my mom when it comes to good diagnosis: she was a medical doctor in her pre-American life, and was considered the best everywhere she worked, and for a good reason. She once kind of opened my eye to how to diagnose: pay attention to everything, undress the patient fully and do not be afraid to ask questions, even if people around think the questions are silly. Helps a lot.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
