P6137 probe parts wanted
There is a seller on Yahoo Auctions here in Japan currently selling a new-in-pack spare cable (part number 174-1081-04) for 6500yen (about US$50) including local shipping.
I purchased one from them previously and my faulty probe is no longer faulty, so they are good parts. Message me off-board if you are interested in it. |
Thanks, and good points ¡ª I¡¯ll keep my eye out for better probes in original condition.

I have used and collected TEK probes for decades My favorites are indeed P6137 and P6136, for 10X and Zo. 1/ With great patience its possible to locate mint perfect probes in original TEK case or pouch with all bits. Have paid $30..$75 worth it! 2/ Suggest to Use ONLY epay USA sellers and avoid Chinese and dealers. We got some from Ham Radio fleas and Silent Keys. 3/ For 2465/7/A/B and TEK 7000, these are the best probes. 4/ We have some active probes, FET, differential, and some HV but those are seldom used. The point is you need to keep searching and have patience to find a great item at a reasonable price... Bon Chance, Jon PS: See the excellent Tek Circuit Concepts book Oscilloscope Probe Circuits for all theory and practice. |
I'm not sure it's worth returning, particularly as it's my fault for buying the cheapest P6137 on eBay at the time. ?

I have another P6137 that cost several times what I paid for this one, and it's fine. My dodgy one is certainly usable, as long as I work within its limitations. I've heard of folks getting P6137 probes with crimped and broken cables -- which on mine seems ok -- so I'm hoping someone with one of those will be willing to sell. If not, I can live with it and I'll pay a bit more for a better one. -----Original Message-----

Does it have to be a 6137 or can you use parts from other models such as

a 6136? I have a complete 6136 in good shape (minus the accessories). Where are you located? On Tue, May 31, 2022 at 9:37 AM Dave Voorhis <voorhis@...> wrote:

assembled from other probe parts and the indicator switch on the cable assembly (174-1081-04) doesn't work: what I assume is a metal leaf spring inside the switch assembly is missing. The body shell tip cover (204-1049-00) and probe tip assembly (206-0378-00) and grounding lead & clip assembly (344-0398-00) are non-P6137. At least they don't match my other P6137. If someone has a P6137 that has, say, a broken cable assembly and you'd like to sell the rest (and its indicator switch might be working), please let me know in private email. I'd like to try to make one good probe out of my questionable one, plus a broken one. |
