I'm wondering if there's a list somewhere of just what plugins I can
drool over and/or search for. I'm not having any luck phrasing my
search properly so far. Like maybe a channel input amp that will give
me better bandwidth so I can do some VHF/UHF with it. I hear that the
7A26 is good up to 200 mHz? Is that right?
Yup, correct. Go to http://www.caip.rutgers.edu/~kahrs/testeq/7000.html
for tables and pix of 7000 series stuff.
The 7A29 is a single channel 1GHz plugin, 7B92A or 7B10/7B15 timebases.
The S4/7S11/7T11 combo is cool if you want a10+GHz sampling capability.
I have a 7104 with 7A29s, 7B10/15 and S4/7S11/7T11 and it is pretty cool
70s technology.

I just missed out on a Tek 7904 scope (four
trace) with four plug-
ins for $299. Was that a deal? The plugins were 7A26 7A18 7CTIN and
7B53A.
Yes, that was a pretty decent deal, especially if you don't have
to pay to ship it. Assuming it's functional of course. They've been
known to go for less, especially if they're all beaten up, but if
it's in good shape a 7904 can easily fetch $299. Looks
like a 500mhz scope, but with plugins good for 200mhz and a
curve tracer.
Umm...the curve tracer (7CT1N probably) came with it?? That
would've been a *serious* score then. That plugin alone typically
goes for $150-300.
Are plugins for that scope readily avaiable and
reasonably priced?
Yes, they're all over the place. There are some really neat ones
available for 7000-series scopes, too...Differential amplifiers,
logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, the aforementioned curve tracer,
all sorts of stuff. It's a fantastic platform.
