Greetings Group, I am in need of the System Restore CD for the TDS5000 (non B) series scope. The instrument I have has a failed HDD. Any help appreciated!

I saw a posting on Hacked Gadgets that talks about 1 persons R&R job on a Tek 565. The URLs are

I tested it today, first it started beeping, so I turned the plug around ( in th US and UK with 3 pin plugs you can not do that so I suppose phase and zero are allway connected according a standard.

I think they are 0.125 inch diameter. Hobby shops carry 1/8 inch carbonfiber rods that I have found to be non-conductive and it works for thatshaft. Regards, Tom

My trusty 2465B now has a vertically offset display on the CRT. The bottom of the normal display is now at mid-point. Has anyone seen and solved this problem? Where do I look for the source of this

The blow-by effect on frequency response could be tested. Grossly misadjust it deliberately and see if the frequency response changes. I found it to be the easiest thing to calibrate on my S-4

Hmm, I had a ham radio friend whose tomcat used to sleep on top of his vintage HF rig -- until one day it let some cat tinkle dribble out. After that, it wouldn't even go in the ham shack. 73 Jim

I asked him about that. It's a demon gremlin, he says he used it as a mad scientist prop in a haunted house. Would be a great cat bed though. I used to have a big crt terminal and my cat used to

This is pretty strange. Attached is an enhanced photo of the " thing" atop the 555

Thanks for that interesting story John, there are some weird things around. As to the cause; I think it's a full moon. At least until someone else comes up with a better explanation. And the

Hi Chuck, I have had this problem several times with PDF files. May I suggest PDF Password Remover from VeryPDF? Not free but useful. It just unlocks the file.
