FS: manual for Tektronix 515/515A; the 503 manual is spoken for
Hello-- I'm offering FS one each manual for a Tek 515/515A oscilloscope (no serial no.). The manual is in VG condition (front cover missing a section near its model-number window) and is unannotated.

Or find a Tektronix 536 oscilloscope and put identical plug-ins in the vertical and horizontal channels. Get a T plug-in with it so you have a time base if needed. Byron WA6ATN

Let's see. I've heard tales of things wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap, and then thrown off a UPS truck to land on the faceplate. By so much, you're lucky. Then you've got spare parts at worst.

Hello all, First, thanks for all of you who gave me your inputs... In fact think I was just seeking validation for the nonsense purchase which I was already decided to do in my mind. And I did... The

Re: Analog computing, X-Y display, was Re: [TekScopes] Wanted: Tek 503
I've found X-Y mode on a digital scope (TDS460A at least) to be extremely unsatisfying. It seems to be far from the sweet spot of what DSO's can do.

Re: Analog computing, X-Y display, was Re: [TekScopes] Wanted: Tek 503
I'd recommend just using almost any analog scope that has X-Y capability for display. For low frequencies including audio, the response of the V and H should be virtually identical - you can easily

Re: Analog computing, X-Y display, was Re: [TekScopes] Wanted: Tek 503
Thanks for the extra info. I certainly wish I could peer over your shoulder, I'd probably learn a lot. A very cheap X-Y option right now is a 1720 vectorscope, if that has the bandwidth you need; it's

Toby, Documentation is just a notebook, a few pics before disassembling anything important. Analog computers are two Comdyna GP-6. FWIW, the system could modeled in MatLab, Mathematica, or even

Analog computing, X-Y display, was Re: [TekScopes] Wanted: Tek 503
I'm curious about your analog computer. Are you documenting/blogging/video'ing this anywhere? What is the goal? I'm also working on circuits to drive X-Y displays, but at a very basic level since I'm

Re: Cheap differential probe ?
Dennis' suggestion of using add and invert mode on the oscilloscope works well depending on how much sensitivity you need. If you have a 7000 mainframe, then a 7A13 combined with standard x1 probes

Re: Cheap differential probe ?
Massdrop had one a week ago for $140. I was actually quite surprised to see such a specialized piece of equipment show up for sale there. If it's not available now, be patient, it'll come up again.
