Re: Replacement caps for Tektronix 434 Power supply board.
Yes, and don't start now. Use the proper probe. Luckily, a simple HV probe can be obtained on ebay for very little. As for the power supply voltages on P141..the first 3 voltages are low by more than I'm happy with, but not low enough to prevent operation.
TP1236 is simply measuring the same point as P141 pin6. This switch is part of the storage function which should be off until you get reasonable operation from the main scope portion. Storage=Off
Check +/- 15 volts. Are both these lines free of ripple? (25KHz is your switching frequency). Are those 3 diodes really shorted?
