549 scopes from the Portland factory contain one black Areovox 0.5 µF / 400 V capacitor in the horizontal amplifier (in the middle of the upper chassis) which is often deteriorated. When this is the case, the trace is compressed on the right side. | 549 scopes from the Portland factory contain one black Areovox 0.5 µF / 400 V capacitor in the horizontal amplifier (in the middle of the upper chassis) which is often deteriorated (leaky). When this is the case, the trace is compressed on the right side. To confirm, temporarily disconnect this capacitor and power on the scope with intensity control at CCW, and after initial warm-up of a minute increase the intensity to test if the problem disappears. | ||
This capacitor is part of the beam steering arrangement during power-up to avoid screen burn. | This capacitor is part of the beam steering arrangement during power-up to avoid screen burn. −150 V power on pulse is coupled via this capacitor to the R/C340 network in V343A's grid to move the beam to the left and off the screen during initial power up. The beam returns to screen after R/C340 discharges. | ||
The leaky capacitor can be replaced with a modern 0.47 µF / 630 V (or higher) capacitor. | |||
This problem does not appear to occur in Dutch-made 549s. | This problem does not appear to occur in Dutch-made 549s. | ||
