Re: "J" Plugin
Don, I remember the little thrusters and dust kick-up. I thought it was the 4054 that had the write-thru and didn't remember about the 4081 (glad to finally get that model number!). The write-thru was

TM500/5000 and 5000 series scopes
The main reason tek made the low bandwidth 5100 series (also identifed as D10/D11/D12, etc.) was to service the biomedical/research community, that needed high sensitivity and low speed, and often had

I am also a newcomer to the community. I bought my first TEK in september. I needed a differential amplifier for triboelectric cable noise measurements and an oscilloscope for it. Budget was tight and

Re: 2 dumb questions
I wish I could help with the power supply problem. I bought a 7704 that works great and a 7704A (from Ron Kovac) that has some problems. I know the HV circuit works, however, because the readouts show

Re: 2 dumb questions
My guess is that the 503's and 504's are more portable. I have two 503's and one 5006 (506 on steroids!!). I don't think the 5xx plug-ins fit the 5000 series, but I may be wrong. I understand that the

Re: "J" Plugin. 4662 Plotter
I have one of those, too, and would like to be able to use it with some of today's pc's running Linux, or even Win98. Anybody know of a program that will handle that? I used to write real neat letters

I think the plotter you are thinking of is the 4662. I have three of those and my best one is on display at Building 50 on the Tektronix Campus in their "mini-museum" history display. I also have a

Re: "J" Plugin
FWIW I produced our wedding invitiations on a 4051, plotting them out on a Tek x-y plotter - I forget the type number of this unit. However, that too was pretty exotic stuff for 1978! If I close my

Re: 4S1/2!?!?!?
Hi Michael, Those are vertical amplifiers for the 661 sampling scope. The time bases for the 661 had numbers like 5T1, 5T1A, and 5T3. In fact, those three were the only timebases ever made for the

Playing with the 4051 was fun. I remember the standard game was "Lunar Lander". Then the 4052 and 4054 came out and Lunar Lander became worthless because they were so much faster that all you could do
