Hi guys i'm facing a slight issue that is driving me up a wall.
My "oldschool" (still solid-state) Tektronix 2336YA gave up.
The failure point I have observed is documented in the photo below.
[photo="medium"]4207[/photo] Capacitor C108 ( .005 uF 200v) failed dead-short and R113 released it's last breathe!
I can order the replacement for R113 (1.6k Ohm)
In lieu of a n.o.s. "Styroflex" (polystyrene) capacitor, would I be okay using a ceramic disc or PET/Mylar type capacitor? I really just want to get it going again as soon as possible.
This oscilloscope may be older than I, but I don't want to stray so far off the original components that it needs a re-alignment just to function reasonably again.
Thank You for any input/recommendations or suggestions.
