Hello guys,
I am no virgin to replairs but I encountered a problem that is a bit above me and I though I would ask around for help on this problem.
I have a Tek 7934 scope with a bad power supply. I have track the problem down to the component that is causing the problem, which is a power transformer that seems to be having a secondary winding shorting to the primary. Here is the deal. No one really carries the parts that I need on this 20year old scope. Since the ferrite core seems to be in good shape I thought the best course of action would be to re-build the transformer. This is something I have never done before and since while tek offers great schematics info I cannot find any info on the winding of the transformer (which's part number is 120-1183-00 if anyone is interested) other then the input and output voltages, I think I will have to reverse engineer it.
Does anyone have any advice or tips to reverse engineering and remanufacturing transformers that may help me?
Thanks a ton,
Nick
