Good day,
A friend of mine has offered me two tube scopes of unknown provenance,
he believes however that they are not working. They are
Type 581 Serial #001067
Type 535A Serial #025668
BAMA has provided me with manual for the 535A (even seems to be the
right vintage), but I came up short on the 581 - any pointers? I
don't know what/if any plugins will be coming (the scopes are
currently a long way away from both of us).
This will be my first foray into the earlier offerings from Tek. I
understand that both of these scopes will use letter and 1-series
plugins, the 581 needing the 81 adapter. Any other gotchas? I will
of course peruse the archives, but I would welcome any tips useful to
someone used to working on 7000-era gear. Ahh, yes, I know that the
voltages tend to be a bit higher, and that I probably could stand to
get a 100x probe!
