My guess is that the 503's and 504's are more portable. I have two 503's
and one 5006 (506 on steroids!!). I don't think the 5xx plug-ins fit the
5000 series, but I may be wrong.
I understand that the 5000 series had reliability problems. But then I
find problems in the 7000 series also.
Still trying to fix the 7704A power supply.

Subject: [TekScopes] 2 dumb questions
I never owned anything made by Tektronix in my life until December. Now I
have
6 scopes and a bushel of plugins. I have two questions, the answers to which
are probably obvious to you guys but not to me.
1. Why are people paying from $120 to over $200 for TM503's and TM504's but
are paying less than $100 for TM506's (of which I got one for $75+S&H)?
2. Will the modules that go into a TM5-whatever also work in a 5000 Series
oscilloscope? If not, then why is the 5000 series so popular? I can't
figure
any other reason anyone would want a 2MHz or 5MHz scope.
