Default Re: Tektronix 7623A poser

The 'collector' test point on the storage board is powered by the +600V supply to the storage board, dropped to +160V on the Zener VR1831. The +600V comes from a winding on T1199 which is the source of all the high voltages for the CRT. So if you have lost the -1475V and the fuse to the driver transistor keeps blowing then you will lose the +600V to the storage board as well.

I have been quiet over on Tekscopes simply because I have never stripped down the boards that Colin needs to get at and I know how awkward the access can be around the power supplies.

Sounds like Colin has some proper advice now.

Best of luck with the repair,

Roger
