Default Re: Tektronix 465B Scope - Some problems.

Just had a look at my manual, unfortunately the HV and tube sections are missing. As a guess I would think that the focus and brightness circuits are fed from an inverter. Smoothing failure here would put ripple on the focus voltage so the spot will never reduce beyond a certain diameter. One of the other pictures shows brightness variations over the trace length. This would occur when the sweep speed is similar to the inverter frequency.
