Re: *Cheap* Equipment sources
I started my collection with a 535a that I purchased at a garage sale for $1. The scope came with CA plug-in and a set of probes. I always admired the Tek scopes from the 60's and thought that it

Re: *Cheap* Equipment sources
Gee, half your luck! I've never seen any Tek stuff at garage sales (not that
I go to many), and paid A$600 (around US$1200) for my (as new) 7603; but I

Re: *Cheap* Equipment sources

Re: Tek 7104 readout problem
I haven't ever looked at a 7100 scope, but I did have a 7904

the way down and dimmed the lights, you could make out the

Tek 7104 readout problem
I have a 7104 and now a 7103 that have the same readout problem. The
readout is not visible unless the intensity knob is turned CW to the

Hi Don.
Been watching the list for a while. It was from one of your email on the

Well, if you have the room, it's quite the scope, don't you think? ;-) On the other hand, I would buy the manual from you!

Hi, Stan,
I was the one (Dean) who mentioned the manuals on 'fiche. I suppose
