[Boatanchors] Repair of Tektronix 2335

[Bill Cotter]

Robert,

Here in the southeastern United States, we contact "The Scope Man" 
for our
oscilloscope needs. I have not found any refurb/reseller/repair 
come close to what "The Scope Man" sells his 'scopes for or charges 
for repairs. It would really be worth your time to check out this 
resource:

Bob Garcia, KD4JRT
845 Fairfield Dr
Marietta, GA 30068
(770) 977-5701

I found it best to call Bob, 0730-1930 ET, instead of emailing him. 
Bob usually sells his scopes at hamfests.
