{{ | ==Output Head== | ||
The SG504 is usually found on Ebay without the output head (015-0282-00). | |||
David Partridge did an excellent teardown and reverse engineering of the output head and sells | |||
[http://www.perdrix.co.uk/SG504Head/ kits to make new heads]. | |||
It's fairly easy to use that schematic to make a new level head that fits in a standard | |||
BNC Pomona box since its function is really just a 250 MHz to 1050 MHz temperature | |||
compensated power meter with 50 Ω feed-thru. See the pictures for an example. | |||
As of April 2016, [http://www.ebay.com/itm/131775163056 Ebay seller "ancelb" is selling SG504 leveling (output) heads] | |||
that are specified to perform much better than the original Tektronix heads. See photo below. | |||
There is an open source project to replace the output head at [https://hackaday.io/project/18854-a-leveling-head-for-thetektronix-sg-504-sig-gen hackaday.io]. | |||
