I don't suppose there are a bunch of plug-in extenders floating around, so
looks like I need to build one. (I see one on ebay, but out of my price
range)
If I can locate a source of the connectors, it should not be too hard to
connect a male to female with short wires/coax.
Has anyone out there done this? Those connectors look like a stock (in
the 60's) amphanol connector, but I don't see any manuf. part number in the
plug-in or scope parts list. They were used in a lot of military gear.
Amphanol probably still makes it.
Thanks,
Grayson

I thought the VintageTek museum reprinted his book. Are they out again?

(Appears so).... They do make a PDF available:

There are second-hand copies of his book available but they are very, very
expensive (between $70 and $300).

the scopes a high pressure wash, then a through dry in an oven he made out

Would love to reconnect if he is still alive.

Hi Guys,

Similarly, my 2467B is behaving in the exact same manner: in XY mode flashing the expected waveform briefly, then going blank. Is this, in fact, a form of screen protection. or something else?

Thanks,
Stefan

In case it helps...several years ago, after dealing with a failed tantalum cap...I compiled info for the 465B to make the next one easy to find.
It is in the files section of this forum but here is a direct link. It is sortable by clicking column headers. Good luck.
/g/TekScopes/files/465Btants.html
ignore the email address in it. I lost editing rights in the yahoo->groupsio move.

It's like Uber for scopes! If I ever find a 570 and can't retrieve it myself, I'll keep you in mind!

Good advice. Having shipped and received literally hundreds of tube scopes, there is always a few things overlooked. One that is ALWAYS overlooked is the crt. The crt in these old scopes is supported in only two places, that is the front panel and the rear socket. The front support is very rigid. The back support however is usually a white plastic ring that may be used to rotate the tube. Sadly this plastic is the kind that eventually hardens. It does not take much force to break it. Even time can cause it to fail. Now when the packed scope gets dropped by the carrier, and it WILL get dropped, the crt is unsupported and will usually break in half at the neck. All carriers use conveyor belts, and a package this size sometimes falls off the conveyor to the concrete floor. I have even seen the UPS driver, when picking up a box clearly marked fragile in 10 places actually THROW the box into his truck. CRTs are getting very hard to find, so if yours gets broken the whole scope may be junk.

I have also received scopes in their original Tektronix shipping box, unopened. There is no way this box could survive shipping conditions today. It always has to be packed inside another box.

I know of no easy answer to this. I have sometimes removed the crt and packed it separately in a proper Tektronix crt box. This is good but increases the cost. I have also received scopes with some packing material around the crt inside the mu-metal shield. As I recall this had limited success. Oh and btw no carrier will insure glass.

Any time you ship it is a crap shoot. All you can do is try to make sure your package can be dropped 6 feet onto concrete and you are ok. Maybe. Good luck.

David,

Hey all,

After dealing with some pretty serious health issues since March and looking around at my family, I have decided to devote more of my free time to activities with loved ones like sailing, making music, hiking, etc. and less time in my man cave with electronics. It's just something I have to let go of. Life is so precious and so are relationships and while this hobby and the members of this group have given me so much and my health is much better now, these last months have taught me that we can be taken from this earth in a blink of an eye and I should probably spend my time between now and then (whenever that is) on the things that really matter in my life; people. I will maintain a minimal lab so I can fix stuff from time to time. But I'm going to sell off most of my collection of gear and a good handful of old tube radios. Also, all my ham stuff. It will be a lot of work and probably take me through the winter to post all the information, photos, working condition, etc. But I just took a swing through the lab to make a few notes and I'd thought I'd share here what I am going to get rid off. This is NOT the complete list. It was just a casual stroll around the basement. I haven't set prices yet but would entertain non-low-ball numbers. I paid fair money for most of this stuff and it's not like I'm in a major hurry to get rid of it. I just don't want my wife to have to deal with it all by herself at some point in the hopefully very distant future. The mainframes are mostly loaded with very standard modules, nothing exotic (the 7633 is empty). I haven't thought about whether to sell the modules separately or keep the loaded mainframes intact. I live in Northeastern Massachusetts.
