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.
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. :-)
