Hello, I've seen a 7704A, the seller is selling it as
non working unit, he has no plugins, so simply powered it up.
He says that the scope powers up and it's visible the point
on the screen, the intensity control doesnt work.
A pair of questions:
should this mainframe show a point without plugins installed?
Will be it easy to repair in case of major failures?
(at least the tube seem to be working ok).
I have an R7103, since I started using it I decided that I'll
use the 7000 series as main scope, it's like driving a luxury
car, it can be old, but it's a joy to drive.
Also someone said that nobody is known to have lived long owning
only one 7k mainframe, so... :)
I dont want to stress the 7103 tube, it will be used only
when needed (rarely) so now I'm searching for an everyday scope.
I'd like good screen with a well defined trace.
Will be used with a pair of 7A26 and or 7A22 and I'm searching
a 7A13 also.
I'm considering also a 7844 (I like the "dual scope in one" concept)
but it is much more costly. If the 7704A is able to use most of the
bw of the 7A26 and 7A13 with a pleasant trace I'll go
for it, what do you think?
Fabio.
