Can this or something similar be done on a 2465B?

The wizard works on my 2232...this was typical of the Tektronix of old,
who at least in the background, viewed that this type of frivolity had
at its core learning and experimentation that led to real features and
future advance of the art of technology. It was also a crowd gatherer at
the booth for the sales guys at the trade shows.
Another example of this non traditional view of engineering creativity
is that at one time Tek engineers were allowed to take home factory
parts for home projects with the underlying belief if that you were
tinkering at home you might stumble onto a new application or design
that would come back to work

I think to remember that this has been mentioned here before, it being
secret jokes of Tektronix engineers. A modern variant of the mountain
climber trying to reach the top of the CRT in some old 500 series
schematics.

i'm not sure if my html is right, (it's been awhile), so here's a link
Wizzard Skatin' across your scope

supposedly you can make the 2232 display this by:
1. turn the scope on
2. push the "ADV FUNKT" button once
3. push the "SAVE REF. 3" two times
5. move the "CURSOR"
6. now you have reached the so called "secret menu" here you cansee a
wizzard on a scateboard or the "TECTRONIX" logo or you can clearall
memories.
this seems like one of those things that while pointless, is still
pretty cool, if it works.
I'd call it really low risk but keep in mind there are those out there
who like to give misinformation,
its possible (far as i know) yet unlikely, that theres some glitch where
doing the steps above could do something bad to the scope. If anyone has
one and is willing to try it, let me know if it works. if not, ill try
it in a few days or so when i get mine.
