[Boatanchors] Repair of Tektronix 2335

[Jacques Fortin]

Robert, you can take a look at:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/repair/tektronix-2335-repair/
On another topic, I do not know the jurisprudence about in the US (it could
vary from state to state, I guess) but here, you cannot charge such an
amount for just an "estimation".
The law here says that the repair contractor is obligated to provide a
result (i.e. repair the equipment), otherwise, nothing can be charged.
Good luck anyways.

Objet : [Boatanchors] Repair of Tektronix 2335

I have a Tek 2335 that has given good service for years and is still
perfectly adequate for anything that I need it to do.  Two weeks ago it was
working fine.  I used it to fine tune a vibrator for a TBY 4V supply, and
proceeded to close up the vibrator.  When I went to run a final test on the
repaired vibrator, the 'scope had no trace.

I don't have the service manual on it, nor the time to fix it myself.  So I
did a little searching and came up with a company named Transcat whose local
office is less that a mile from my house.  Their ads claimed that they
worked on Tektronix equipment.  So I took the unit to them some time ago,
and they accepted it.  Several telephone calls later, I get an email from
them saying that the instrument is obsolete, unrepairable, and if I pay them
$150.00 I can have it back unrepaired.

Does anyone know of anyone preferably in the Houston area but lacking that
anywhere in the USA who will actually fix it?
