but when I called
them, GTE would not sell me any parts. They wanted me to send in my
scopes, charge me an extremely high troubleshooting fee, charge me more
for whatever they thought needed to be replaced/repaired, and then charge
me yet again for return shipping.
Argh, my main scope is a Tek 2213... though I still use my hp1980
sometimes.
I've since located a source for the special P6120
probes, and am now in
the process of buying them. I have not yet located the Service/Operators
manual(s).
I have a photocopy of the operator's manual. At some point I was
also looking for the service manual and I found a message in the
archives of some high-frequency hobbyist mailing list (which
I can't find now, but I have a hard copy).
They referred the person who was asking about this to
Deane Kidd, W7TYR, ex-TeK employee, and who runs a business
supplying manuals for older TeK scopes. The contact info:
Deane Kidd, 27270 S.W. Ladd Hill Rd., Sherwood, OR 97140,

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.

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.

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!

have a chance, ask what he'd want for the service and operators manuals
for the 2213A too. It sure looks like I'm going to need to order both
manuals from him in the very near future.

I must admit, I find the fans a bit noisy! I suppose I'm used to
scopes that don't need a fan -- my Tektronix 464, for example.
I have the add-on Polaroid camera for the Tek 464, BTW.
I havn't tried out the HP1980's HP-IB interface yet.
