I bought a 2120 from Ebay and it has a problem(Of course). The display shows the trace in about 1/4 inch square of the screen. It seems like it's working but the display size is too small. I have checked the output of the transformer and it seems within spec. I do have schematic, but not sure where to start looking. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Thank you to the guys at HEGE supporting Badcaps [ HEGE ] [ HEGE DEX Chart ]

Re: BK 2120 scope problem
Haven't gotten too far, only discovering what is not causing the problem. I had thought I was onto something when I disconnected the leads to the coil surrounding the CRT and nothing changed. I now believe that coil is responsible for trace rotation. Still unknown what can cause the screen to shrink to it's current tiny size. Unfortunately, I have no experience with video circuits. Mostly worked with audio equipment, cell phones, and power supplies. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Re: BK 2120 scope problem
It sounds like it is out of focus, and no horizontal deflection. Does the trace move or blink at really low sweep speeds, or is it in X-Y mode?

Re: BK 2120 scope problem
The trace only moves about 1/4 of inch. The best I can get is a 1/4 inch line in center of screen. The focus and intensity adjust work. I need the trace to go completely across screen to see wave form. When I turn off scope the trace will dance to the left half of the screen, leading me to believe the CRT is good. It's like trying to view the world thru a pinhole.

Re: BK 2120 scope problem
I would guess the power supply voltage is low for the CRT deflection.
Take a multimeter and measure the PSU voltages. The +140VDC, +260VDC rails have test points, and +24VDC, +12V, +5V.
The high voltage -1.9kV you need a HV probe to measure.
It is set up for the right line voltage 115V/230V?

Re: BK 2120 scope problem
You need to measure the DCV between the two legs of the filter cap C503 for the top power supply, it should have (as you indicated 130VAC reading) 130VAC * 1.414 = about 183VDC.
So check the rectifier but I would suspect bad C503.Last edited by budm; 06-21-2015, 09:04 PM.Never stop learning
