Does anyone know where I could find schematics for my HP?54510A digital oscilloscope?? I've looked in a few places without luck.
Thanks,
Gus

It is unlikely you will ever find schematics ( not impossible...but unlikley)

Hp ( and (Tektronix too for that matter) stopped issuing schematic level service info for most of their scopes from the early 1990's on. The boards in these units contain a large number of large pin out custom IC's which even if you could trouble shoot and find a replacement for today it takes special soldering equipment to remove them. HP and Tek both took the position that you had to buy a new repayment cad and that the boards themselves were not field repairable.

My conspiracy theory version of this is that the schematics exist and are being held in the basement in vault at some obscure HP location guarded by evil lawyers and mutant accountants.

could you be more specific about what it is you're looking for? are
you looking for board level diagrams or actual circuit schematics.
most of the older service/troubleshooting manuals at least had board
level troubleshooting diagrams. if you could give me some more info i
might be able to help you.

That's where you have to take out a home loan to pay for the replacement card :)

I'm giving this second hand so I'll find out more and get back.? There is supposed to be a 15v supply to the crt circuitry which is down.? Which schematics do we need?
Thanks,
Gus
