That town appears to be a haven for audio con men. The old Tek scopes are either too much work to keep going, or have mostly been used so heavily they are no longer usable. There are no more parts for DESIRABLE Tek scopes! Tek has not made an actual oscilloscope in nearly ten years and the last ones (the TAS series) were crude and nearly unusable. Large quantities of certain parts do exist-because either those are the parts that don't go bad or they are for stuff you don't want anyway. Actually, old Tek scopes have some great parts that lend themselves to happy employment in some really nice tube designs . . . . Indeed! ;-) The power transformers from the older tubed beasts are great for projects,if you can find any info on them,or else sit with the DMM and a pencil for a while untill you've got it..(a variac is helpful too!) I scrapped one that was beyond help,along with a HP that I couldn't figure out,tried/tested everything under the sun,finally gave up. Tons of good tubes,sockets,etc. in there too! I've got a Power Transformer out of an old Tek Scope - 545 I think or maybe an earlier model. The model numbers are all starting to run together in the ole noggin (hey I'm getting old!) and it's been like 5 years since I had this thing. Anyway, it was one of the big dinosaurs. The scope worked fine but I had no room for it, so I stripped it. May have some other parts floating around too. The transformer does have a part number I can supply. If anyone is interested, let me know. "I" don't need it. Not sure what shipping would be, this sucker is heavy. I also have 2 manuals for 2 separate models of the 422 scope - both in fairly decent shape. |
