Key ICs:

• MOTOROLA MC10102P: input quad 2 input NOR gate
• mixes test trigger?
• RCA CA3046: NPN transistor array
• NE NE521N: dual differential comparator / sense amp
• LeCroy SC100: ADC?

2015-06-04 repair

11 bit ADC (0x600 full range) but values were as follows for the two units I tested:

Slot 9 (broken knob)

 CH0: 0x000632
 CH1: 0x000644
 CH2: 0x000632
 CH3: 0x000358
 CH4: 0x000637
 CH5: 0x000525
 CH6: 0x00062A
 CH7: 0x00063A

Slot 11 (good knob)

 CH0: 0x000699
 CH1: 0x000691
 CH2: 0x00069D
 CH3: 0x000353
 CH4: 0x000696
 CH5: 0x00069F
 CH6: 0x00068C
 CH7: 0x000686

Both units seem to have constant offset errors, possibly the test pattern generator. Also, CH3 is flaky on both units...coincidence?

Ran a 14 hour burn in test in test mode (slot 11 / good knob):

You can see considerable drift on channel 3 (yellow), the channel with a bad reading. Other channels were pretty stable, within +/- 1 DN over the entire period. Swapped some ICs around and issue seems to have gone away.

More measurements after swapping:

Took about 1200 seconds (20 min) to settle.
