Re: Looking at a broken 2440
Ah, the HP 54503A must be similar to the 400 MHz 54504A DSO that we have unused in the storage area at work. Came from a power supply vendor who went out of business, but we have more modern Tek

Re: Looking at a broken 2440
The 2440 can be a real craps shoot. I had one on the shelf for many years that was failing self tests so bad that it would never boot to even crippled functionality. One of the failures, as I recall,

Re: Looking at a broken 2440
I have a 7104. I use it only when I need the MCP or the 1 GHZ bandwidth. That requires either a direct coax input or a 1 GHz probe (and, for that matter, something where the bandwidth is needed).

The 2400 series digital are pretty cool. What I¡¯ve dealt with over the years of repairing them is yes the NVRAM batteries can be failed which adds up to replacement recalibrate. . But rebuilding the

My "new" Tek 485 with opt 4
I just got a nicely refurbished 485 which lists "opt4" under the SN. I could find no information despite several searches. I was surprised at how little information there was at the w140.com/Tekwiki.

Re: Looking at a broken 2440
I think I'm going to pass it up. I need to start being selective on my scope choices. I think my next scope will be one I really want. Which is a 2467 or 7104 with a MCP CRT.

Re: Looking at a broken 2440
Personally I would offer less - in addition to power supply caps and possible damage to the traces under the caps there is a possibility that the NVRAMs will have to be changed ( dead batteries ) .

I'm looking at a 2440 that won't power on for $85. Worth it or not? What is the likelihood of just power supply issues and no IC problems? Thanks fellas
