Hello David, thank you for your response. I did all the tests that Mark advised me below but without success. I think that the problem is with the HV module. Unfortunately, I do not have the equipment

Re: DSA 602, Still Relevant Today? Untimely response FWIW
Martin thank you. You reminded me of modifying 7000 series plugins to use in the 602. All that was required was to grind off the lug on the connector that positioned them in a 7000 series scope. Ver

Re: DSA 602, Still Relevant Today? Untimely response FWIW

I have success finally on the conversion. I did start with trying to make another 7603 from the salvaged parts, but too many things were wrong with various items, so I decided to try the R7613 to 7613

Re: DSA 602, Still Relevant Today? Untimely response FWIW
I have over the years had a couple of DS602¡¯s. I found them wonderful scopes to use and play with. They can do so many different things than an analog scope. The user interface was extremely easy.

That is a fine collection. I recognize, have worked on, or have many of them. The customized cases on some of them are quite interesting too. I have seen some pretty good customizing at TV stations
