[Milsurplus] Tektronix Oscilloscope 545

[John Hutchins]

Floyd  -
Let me introduce you to a yahoo group:
TekScopes

I have found excellent contacts and information on this group.  Deane 
Kidd is an excellent source  knows his stuff.   Many X  Tektronix employees.

I have an LA-545 with Dual and Four trace plugins.   It can keep your 
radio shack warm on a cold winters day!

I picked mine up in San Antonio Texas at a aircraft parts junk yard in 
1975 both plugins could be considered NOS in original box from  
Textronics via  Lackland AFB.  I had the whole unit calibrated at 
Tracore  in Austin  at the time worked like a champ.  Its been sitting 
on the shelf  since 1987.  During this time I loved the 545 was real 
stable and dependable.  Mine is real Mil surplus LA-545. 

Plugin question is a good one.  There are adapter cards to use plugins 
from various  related units.

I would post your questions to the Yahoo group for more detailed 
information and suggestions.
