A couple of weeks back there were discussions on a 2215A with digital storage which most people, including me, initially thought was a fake until we saw the pictures. Well, in a box of manuals that wa

And here we are, only 12 years after I originally planned to do this. How time goes by. I've had a couple of inquiries - yes, I've been away for quite some time. Dramatic alteration of life priorities

Sent. Let me know if you didn't get it. Vince - K8ZW.

V2.00 is about 8 years old at this point, so I'd recommend updating. Beyond that, make sure the LF-OR-EOI switch on the back panel is set to '1', and that you are using a genuine NI or Prologix adapte

Yep, send me a private email and I'll reply with an address, send me an SASE and I'll send you a pair. Harvey

John, you have an idea of ​​how to plot the 492P screen without getting the message "" Attemp to read from unsupported instrument model 'FINE OFF; DELFR OFF; FRQ RNG 1; MINATT +40; ........ CLIP OFF;

There are still boards left? I contacted Harvey but didn't get a response so I figured they were gone. Vince - K8ZW.

When an instrument changed a lot, sometimes Tek made a fresh start with the manual. An example is Type W, which was converted to FET input with a serial number break at 7000. There are two manuals; 07

Comments interleaved, thank you. The only complication I could add would be to put in some surface mount (0805) ferrite inductors. I haven't seen the need yet. This was only for small signal transisto

Hi Jeff, Thank you for offering to make your manual available to everyone on TekScopes. I'm a little puzzled why you think the later version of the manual would not contain information from the early

Epilogue: I was able to obtain a pair of the correct connectors from Q-service. It took a couple of weeks for the postal service to get them here from Greece. In the meantime, I tried applying some cy

Hi Harvey, Thank you for making the 5CT1N / 7CT1N Adapter available to the members of TekScopes. That is very generous. For at least the past 5 years I have been creating prototypes of a dual transist

My tinySA came in the mail today. Here's a picture of the noise picked up by a cheap straight wire coax lead. That is, a decent antenna. Using the supplied antenna is too efficient - the baseline is e

I do quite a bit of manual / magazine scanning and primarily use my HP Digital Scanner Flow 8500 fn2 for “normal” stuff and my older and larger HP Scanjet N9120 for larger stuff. If the manual can com

Hi Jeff, It is very possible that Dave at Artek Manuals would scan it if he does not have it in his library already. I do not know what his conditions might be but it certainly could be worth an email

Jeff, I am not sure where you are located. I am in CA (in the east bay). If you need help on the scanning, I can help. I worked at ARC document solutions before retiring in 2017: https://www.e-arc.com

I've got a very early version of the 2236 service manual, and am about to be receiving a later revision that actually matches my instrument. Before I sell off the older service manual I'm wondering if

I suspect the purpose of the series resistor is not just for safety in case C5 shorts out, but also to limit the dv/dt across the capacitor. Tektronix spec'd this R5 limiter both in the original discr

Thanks for all the help, I've elected to install the cap without resistor. I feel safe enough considering it's only connected to mains when the unit is on, it's behind two layers of aluminum chassis,
