The only reason I got my Tek 7904 to play again was the help I got on the
tekscopes list. I spent $70 on replacement capacitors and replaced the
shorted tantulums as well as some other marginal ones. I'd never have known
where to start troubleshooting without this knowledgeable community.

Yahoo also has a "tekscopes" list that's about as active as this one, and
well worth one's time if these instruments are of interest...
I just acquired a 536 this past week, myself. :-) I came across a good looking 551 and not so good
looking 555 and some
carts and plug ins. I have no interest in them. If anyone has any
interest, contact me off list and I'll submit offers for you. The current
owner does not ship, but I can try to.
I think these Tek scopes aren't off topic at all. We use a Tek 555
regularly at out museum to repair/align our computers. RK05 head
alignments and LGP-30 repairs are better done with old Tek scopes than
with modern digitizing scopes, at least that's my experience.
Although we are a computer museum, we started to collect/rescue old
measurement equipment that is related to computers, i.e. scopes, logic
analyzers, DMMs, tube testers and so on. For example, we use a Funke
RPG4/3 for testing the tubes in our LGP-30s.
