Did they  actually pull off that deal with GTE for service.
I was there training some of those ****ers.

 Could it be they don't want to do anymore service, perhaps it cheaper just
 to replace those new off seas plastic cheap ones one under warrantee.
 I called them about a Tek 2232 and someone on the other end got all ****ed
 off, said call GTE for service ?

  Tektronix is trying to manipulate the oscilloscope market. Today I learned
 from
  my local dealership that they are required by contract to destroy every
 scope
  which is traded in for a new Tektronix scope, regardless of age or
 condition. So
  if you decide to trade in that old scope for a Tektronix, know ahead of
 time
  that it is NOT going to end up in the hands of a ham, or of some kid
 learning
  and experimenting in electronics on a tight budget like I was thir... er,
 twenty
  years ago. No, Tektronix needs to raise their profits by destroying every
 used
  scope they can get their greedy little hands on, regardless of who feels
 the
  pinch!
