How do you like the 1980? I've thought about picking one up just
to
play with the HP-IB control and data aquisition. I think I have some HP
software here somewhere for the 1980 but I don't remember what system it
runs on.
It is okay as an instrument, but I don't like the ergonomics; in fact,
I hate them.
Which is why I use mostly the TeK 2213. Sometimes I even prefer to
dust off my hp180 instead of the hp1980b.
I've got two of them. One is a rack mount. The other is a benchtop model with a HP
1601 Logic Analyzer plug-in in it. I probably use it more than any other LA that I have. I
thought about suggesting them when someone asked about scopes for use with vintage
computers but didn't. I bought the one with the LA plug-in (and cables) at a hamfest a
couple of years ago for $10 and had to replace a 7812 regulator. Had to pay about $40 for
a manual though!
The
contact info:
Deane Kidd, 27270 S.W. Ladd Hill Rd., Sherwood, OR 97140,
(503) 625-7363 .
Deane is MR. Tektronix. I doubt there's anyone in the
country that has
as many parts and docs for the Tektronix has he does. Deane worked
for
Tektroninx for about 40 years and must have been collecting parts and
manuals the whole time! If he doesn't have it then you're not likely to
find it.

Does anybody have email contact info for him? This thread has reminded me
about getting the service manual for the 2213...
The last I heard he didn't have internet access and didn't sound like he wanted
it. That was a year or two ago.
