Synopsis:
TDS 210 and TDS 220 Recall
In June 1998, Tektronix began the recall of its model TDS 210 and TDS
220 oscilloscopes. We initiated this voluntary program when it was
determined that certain incorrect use of these products could cause the
ground connection to fail, potentially exposing the user to risk of
serious personal injury or death.
This ongoing recall applies to TDS 210 and TDS 220 oscilloscopes with
serial numbers falling within one of the following ranges:
TDS 210:* B010100 *to *B049399 **BU10000 *to *BU50199
**C010000 *to *C010879 *
TDS 220:* B010100 *to *B041059 **BU10000 *to *BU50199
**C010000 *to *C011174 *

So what would y'all recommend for logic
analyzer/oscilloscope type
tools that are useful for vintage computing (i.e. their max
bandwidth/speed can be slower than needed for current tech) that are
also affordable?
I know Tektronix and HP are major manufacturers in this area, but I
would know what to get. *Lots* of these items go up for auction via
government liquidation at the local Hill AFB, so if I know what I'm
looking for I should be able to eventually get something by low-bidding.
Suggestions?
I rather like my Tektronix TDS-220 Oscilloscope, small and very easy
to use. I also had a Tek 465B, but gave it away as it wasn't working
right, and I needed the space. Of the two, the TDS-220 was definitely
nicer. IIRC, it was also Tek's recommended replacement for a 465B. I
purchased the 465B used and cheap, I got what I paid for, a scope that
didn't work right :^( As a result, I purchased the TDS-220 new, of
course it helped that at the time I could afford it.
In any case, I always recommend Tek scopes :^)
