Une chronique illustrée de la teknologie pour les collectionneurs et les restaurateurs Les oscilloscopes ont apporté une contribution majeure à l'avancement des connaissances humaines, non seulement en électronique, mais dans toutes les sciences, chaque fois qu'une grandeur physique peut être convertie en un signal électrique temporel. Ce livre retrace l'histoire d'un instrument crucial à travers de nombreux produits Tektronix. C’est la société qui a inventé et breveté la plupart des fonctions présentes aujourd’hui dans tous les oscilloscopes. Tek est et sera toujours synonyme d'oscilloscope. En près de 600 pages, avec des centaines de magnifiques photos, schémas, anecdotes et données techniques, vous voyagerez à travers l'histoire de Tektronix dans une superbe édition collector d'un point de vue technique. L’auteur n’a pas peur de mettre la main à la pâte en restaurant son propre équipement Tek. Le voyage commence au début des années 1950. Il se termine dans les années 90, après avoir exploré les tenants et les aboutissants des modèles les plus intéressants des séries 300, 400, 500, 5000, 7000 et 11000, des tubes aux technologies hybrides avancées.

An Illustrated Handbook of Vintage ‘Scopes Repair and Preservation Tektronix oscilloscopes are true masterpieces of electronics and have helped mankind advance in every field of science, wherever a physical phenomenon needed to be observed and studied. They helped man reach the moon, find the cause of plane crashes, and paved the way for thousands of other discoveries. Restoring and collecting these oscilloscopes is an exciting activity; it is really worthwhile to save them from the effects of time and restore them to their original condition. Many parts are quite easy to find, and there are many Internet sites, groups, and videos that can help you. Much of the original documentation is still available, but it is not always sufficient. This book contains a lot of information, descriptions, suggestions, technical notes, photos and schematics that can be of great help to those who want to restore or simply repair these wonderful witnesses of one of the most beautiful eras in the history of technology. Component layouts included! This book includes a nearly complete component layout plan of the original 545 oscilloscope, with relative reference designators. Not found in the original Tektronix manuals, this layout should prove invaluable to the repair technician.

Resonances From Aether Days A Pictorial and Technical Analysis from WWII to the Internet Age From the birth of radio to the late 1980s, much of real life unfolded through shortwave communication. World War II demonstrated—beyond a shadow of a doubt—that effective communications equipment was a vital prerequisite for military success. In the postwar years, shortwave became the backbone on which many of the world's most critical services depended every day. All the radio equipment—through whose cathodes, grids, plates, and transistors so much of human history has flowed—is an exceptional subject of study and enjoyment for those of us who are passionate about vintage electronics. In this book, which begins in the aftermath of World War II, you’ll find a rich collection of information: descriptions, tips, technical notes, photos, and schematics that will be valuable for anyone interested in restoring—or simply learning about—these extraordinary witnesses to one of the most remarkable eras in technological history. My hope is that these pages will help preserve this vast treasure of knowledge, innovation, and history—a heritage that far transcends the purely technical.
