I was very interested in all that talk about how

much Tektronics sucks
although after reading most of it I don't think

it reflects my concerns.

I just recently bought an old 465 and am

learning to use it and I was
wondering if with so many knowledgable folks

somebody could recommend a good
book which would teach the intricacies of using

this level of equipment.

Here's a thought for you. If you don't get QST
then you should sign up and get it. Every month
they have a tutorial on basic electronics using
your basic meter, function generator, scope etc to
make measurements. I would assume from your
comments that you don't have much experience using
test equipment so these tutorials are a good way
for you to learn and have some fun doing it too.

A second idea would be to check out your local
technical college or university library. They just
may have books that cover the use of a scope for
general trouble shooting of stereos, TV's etc.
That would be a good way to learn the many ways a
scope can be used and it may not cost you a penny
to check-out the books for home study.

Good luck;
