[AMRadio] RE: Tek 'Scope Repair, WAS: Anyone Using Tek 5403/5440/5441 or Similar?

[Merz Donald S]

There's a guy on eBay that advertises "Tek 'Scope Rebuilding"--whatever that means. His service is on "sale" this month for $99.95. But he only does the old 500-series 'scopes. I would think the total cost of his service would be probibitive--shipping to and from, $99.95 labor, plus maybe (if you're lucky) a half dozen tubes and a few caps--another $100. The whole thing could hit $300 very fast and those old 500-series 'scopes can be had for $20. So it doesn't make much sense to me.

	the scope I have, works if you use the X-Y inputs, but not the front
	panel.  there's not even a dot (best I recall - it's been a while)
	
	What ever it is, it's common to both channels.
