Hi Gabriel, The pin povides a bit of insurance against misalignment of the connector. I would leave them when possible. I suspect the transistor mentioned need to be moved. Jerry Massengale

Re: Is this Tektronix 577 CRT kaput?
It is the split screen storage version of the 577. First thing is that he has set it up wrong, so all you are seeing is the flooded screen. Second thing is that he has selected a high voltage (1000V),

Re: Cheap Probes
The main differences among probes are durability and of course you pay for the brand name.? If it works and the specs are good, you are in great shape. Bob

Re: Tek 214 running without batteries
The 211-221 series use non-attenuating probes. With BW of only 500 kHz (5 MHz for 221), the C loading is not really an issue. You could take any divide by 1 probe and mod it into the scope. However,

Re: a note for USA residents buying from Walter at Sphere
PayPal also marks up the exchange rate. I don't know if 7% is the right number, but I don't think it's far off. I'm surprised Walter doesn't have a USD account though.
