Re: P6139a with broken tip

 

I will try, old farts disease, to check our spare parts box. We have about a cubic yard of scope probe parts, but I think I¡¯ve looked for the 6139 stuff before. I¡¯ll let you know and then drop them in an envelope for you if I have them.

Don¡¯t need a few 465 style 1x/10x probes do you, we have about 150 of them.

Hello everyone,

I recently sold my ¡®extra¡¯ 2445B to a friend. It was a very good system - had had the fan replaced and was exceptionally clean; the caps all checked out etc¡­ Why did I sell it? Money. I had been lucky and acquired a 2465BDM making the 2445B extra. The 2465BDM cost me money - strange how that works. While the new 2465BDM works well, I¡¯ve not had a chance to change the fan nor check the power supply caps. I¡¯ve only had it for two weeks.

Now the problem. The new system came with broken probes. My friend wanted probes with the 2445B. Had I sold it on eBay, I would not have included the probes. This sale was to a friend!

The P6139a probe was designed for that series of scopes. Tektronix does not make the probe any longer. Tek no longer sells components for that probe. The tip (206-0441-00 PROBE TIP ASSY 10X, 8.0 PF, 9 MEG) is what is broken; the actual pin is missing.

Should I try to replace the pin - has anyone ever done so?

I see on eBay Chinese probe tip knock offs for $40 - $50. Are they good? I also see that Probe Master sells: 5900 Oscilloscope Probe Kit, 500 MHz, 10X. They want $189!!!!

I have 2 functioning probes. Any suggestions?
