tektronix 2246 service manual
I just got a Tektronix 2246 Mod A Oscilloscope. Everything works great on it except for one thing: The CRT seems to have some "sparkle" or "noise" in it. The trace looks as if it has dashes or breaks in it. It gets worse the more channels you have on the screen (its a 4 channel scope) and gets worse still if you use Line triggering. I am thinking maybe a power supply filter problem? HV CRT problem? It passes all it's self tests and runs it's calibration fine. Also, the problem doesn't seem to affect the screen readouts or cursors. Any ideas?
