Re: 2465DMM repair and a $1000 US fine or one year year in prison?
Hi all, pictures of the feet of a normal 2465 and a 2465DMM are in the album. I think if I got myself two pairs of feet I can cut them so the upper half would fit as well. When I cut the top corner of

Re: Tek 465 no display
I mentioned that I read this in an earlier post, Jeff. It makes sense to see why the 55v is out of range. I somehow suspect more than one thing wrong. And after watching the video Vincent referenced,

Re: Tek 465 no display
This REALLY helps as it is the only detailed repair dealing with almost exactly my issues. I do also realize that I'm not going to have much in the way of parts, other than resistors and some

Re: Tektronix 2440 bad power supply?
I have no screen at all. The scope does not do a self test so I cannot get to an initial calibration. I did not copy the calibration constants and when I first powered the scope it ran a self test as
