Alright, Dennis, fair enough. There's nothing nefarious on my end (I'm not
some troll seeding disinformation) and I was actually very frustrated about
reaching what i thought was a literal "dead end" in trying to make direct
contact with an expert. (This was before I discovered the TekScopes group
existed.) Instead, I am embarrassed. I will look up and post the link to
the obituary which I mistook for Stan's. First, here are links to the
"reprise" sites both Stan and Bill were maintaining. Until about a year
ago, their information did not require snapshots from archive.org; these
sites could be accessed directly. My oscilloscope is a 454A, and doing
research on replacement parts for it is how I found online references to
these gentlemen in the first place.

Malcom,
Stan is swamped with email and he is, at his age, slowing down. So I am
not surprised he didn't respond via email.
He doesn't respond to my emails either because they are buried so deep in
the flood of email he receives that I would not expect him to see mine.
I call him when I want to talk. He does answer the phone as long as he is
not stuck in a chair and nodding off.
I'm still waiting for an explanation of why you said he was dead.

Apparently "rumors of Stan Griffith's death have been greatly
exaggerated,"
(with apologies to Mark Twain).
I had tried to contact both Stan and his friend/colleague Bill For some
454A parts (without getting a response, and finding both their sites out
of
commission) and after looking both gentlemen up I found obituaries under
both names that seemed to agree with the chronology.
I'd like to take this opportunity to admit my mistake, apologize for any
distress this might have caused any of his family members or friends, and
to wish Stan a speedy recovery.

Greetings group:
I looked at this site recently, wanting
some
info about CRT part numbers vs scope models, and found the pages would
not respond to my enquiry.
For example entering 545 as a model number
resulted
in a response "this model was not found in the database"
Does anybody know what has happened and/or can
somebody fix the problem?
