[GreenKeys] OT: Need help to T-Shoot this Tek 485 scope

Hi drlegendre,

This link shows photo's of the boards / interconnects: 
https://sites.google.com/site/linuxdigitallab/home/tektronix-485-cathode-ray-interconnection

It looks like A15 is below A11, and vertical at the back. (see attached 
photo)

Hope that is some help.

Cheers,
Bruce
