If I understand it correctly, poking the tranny (something I would never

So... are you ready to swap trannys?

(I'm a bit confused. Does this unit actually use driver transformers? It's
hardly a recent model, but I thought driver transformers had disappeared a
few years before this series.)



I think he meant trany istor.

Used to have bad transistors in some Tek scopes that ran hot.
over time the internal connection would become unstable and poking
would bring it back. Probably just the solder joint.
