[possibly OT]: Tektronix 466 - spares needed

I don't think this is that OT: Everyone who expects to fix any of this equipment should have one - and, given their incredibly inexpensive prices on eBay, they should! On the manuals, there are two places you can easily find with Google who will have manual reprints. I've dealt with both and although not inexpensive, the manual copies are absoutely first-rate. There are also books on how to use a scope that are generic, but will help a lot. You can pickup probes from anywhere; just make sure you get 100 mhz+ probes if you expect to use your scope at 100 mhz. There are used ones on eBay, but unless you know what you are doing, it's hard to get a good one. I got come probes from Jameco and they are pretty good given the price. I would also advise getting probes with little test clips on the ends, which are not too good on the Mhz, but they are cheap. There is a Yahoo group specifically geared to the repair and maint. of Tek scopes: mostly oriented to the older tube types, but they apparently don't get mad about people discussing newer transtorized scopes. I have a 464, but it started to blow fuses, and I suspect one of the HV diodes in the "flyback" is bad; but I got an entire working 464 for $75 shipped recently instead (I will probably fix the older one eventually). I also have two working Tek 1230 logic analyzers with 4 pods, one as a spare and all manuals including training materials. Total investment on this originally over $14,000 dollars of logic analyzers: 180.00. --- Philip Pemberton <philpem(a)dsl.pipex.com> wrote: __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
