I don't think I have any real documentation, just various NCDWare releases ranging from 3.5 to 5.1. But I'll check. But I have stupidly misplaced my copy of 3.2.1 (the last version to support the NCD19...). Does no one have NCDWare 3.2.1 or earlier? I just need the firmware for the terminal, the

SPRAGUE capacitor for Tektronix 4051.

One of the DC filter capacitors has gone open circuit in my Tektronix 4051. It is a SPRAGUE 9600 uF - 30VDC with a little bit unusual foot print. It might be common for other Tek equipment. Google turned up one Ebay-hit for a completed auction but that's it. Anyone has a reliable source for

Re: SPRAGUE capacitor for Tektronix 4051.

A lot of antique radio restorers prefer to cut open the can near the base, remove the innards, and replace it with a modern (much smaller) capacitor. Gluing it back together and polishing it up can make it look pretty close to original. Here's a pretty good write-up:
