Oscilloscope!

Postby Andrew Davie » Thu Mar 24, 2011 10:15 am

I've just snared a replacement oscilloscope -- one I'd noticed in a storage cabinet at work and expressed an interest in about a year ago. Today they're retiring old equipment and they remembered I'd asked about it!

It's a Tektronix 7623A. Looks awesome. Hope it's a good scope. I also grabbed the attachment for taking pictures of the screen, but doubt I'll ever use that :)

Andrew,

You're a lucky guy! That is a good scope, they fetch around US$400-700 on the open market.

I've been trying to download the service manual for it here..

ftp://bama.sbc.edu/downloads/tek/7623a/

...but so far no response, perhaps you could have a try...
