Subject: Re: [TekScopes] Automatic Brightness Control : was it ever
implemented ??

Thanks everyone for your great input on the subject, was much interesting !
This forum just never disappoints, there is just so much knowledge and
experience in here, I just love it :-)

As destiny would have it... I have secured today a deal for a 2215 ! What
were the odds ? So I will see for myself how this brightness control
performs, and study the schematics to learn the details of its
implementation. Here in Frog land normally the 22XX scopes (regardless of
model/performance) sell, " as is", take it or leave it, anywhere between
100+ to 300 Euros, which is not very reasonable and why I never bought one.
But the one I saw a couple days ago was only 15 Euros, and in excellent
cosmetic nick , front panel dirty but otherwise in tip top shape, no dents,
scratches or missing or damaged knobs. I simply couldn't believe my eyes..
In the end the seller removed his ad because he got sooooooooooooo many
phone calls that he thought he would take some time to figure out a more
appropriate price...
I told him what I thought about it all, how to price it etc... and in the
end he agreed to sell it to me rather than to the slew of other candidates !
:-D
We agreed on a more sensible price of 40 Euros, 60 shipped. Still waaaaaay
cheaper that the usual price over here. So it's win-win. He gets 3 times the
15 Euros he advertised at first, and as for me, I get the scope, still for
very cheap, even though I should not have gotten it at all because of the
fierce competition at such a low price !

I just can't wait to receive it, and see if it's faulty or not (might just
work, who knows), and if faulty, if I can manage to fix it...
Well hold on, don't tell me it's the only 22XX scope which does NOT have a
service manual available ?! LOL That would be bad luck ! ^^
I got so excited that I didn't even check to make sure there was a service
manual for it... worst case scenario I can resell it for twice what I paid
for it... but I am really hoping I can fix it and keep it :-)
