Re: Tektronix 7603 won't trigger

Well, I replaced the CA3046s with a pair of CA3086s. Triggers fine
now. Having said that, there's some noticeable noise (as in
flickering) in the trace. I checked the power supply caps with a
capacitance meter, and they look ok (so do the supply lines measured
with another scope). Any ideas what else I should check?

You also have to check the ESR of the electrolytics with an ESR-Meter.
Often elytics have still their capacitance but the ESR goes up and than
they are nearly functionless.
