About Me, QFissler
Based in London, UK
Been using Tek scopes for many, many years.
I own a couple of scopes not on this wiki
Notes to me
Wiki style hints
I need to remind myself to refer to the style guide for this wiki:
Tekwiki_Guidelines
OCR
The upload tasks page recommends that we overwrite a PDF if we OCR it - then all existing links would continue to work. I think that we should share more info about good OCR methods as mine seem to be less good than ones I download from this wiki. I'll share notes about what fails for me...
Manuals
It turns out that I have a couple of manuals for which there were no scans on this wiki.
I've scanned two already.
Another to do is the 7603 Operators Instruction Manual 070-1310-00.pdf - left reference here to remind me and opportunity for anyone to prod me in case they need it.
Experimental pages
Reminder to test these on mobile and various.
I learned recently that the thickness of the 7000 series plugin PCBs (and presumably others) is ⅟16". There's no unicode symbol for that so I thought I'd try and take note of these two options:
This is test text to check alignment 1/16" and trailing text.
This is test text to check alignment ⅟16" and trailing text.

Some scopes, enclosures and plugins
| idx | Series | Model | Options | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 5000 | 5103N | D12 Dual beam display module. | Missing plugins. Strange light mark on CRT/implosion guard. |
| 1 | 5000 | 5103N | D12, 5A18N, 5A22N, 5B12N and all five manuals to suit. | Near immaculate. Close inspection reveals that the 5B12N is missing a chip! 155-0056-00 sweep gen / trigger - so the 5B12N is no longer a dual timebase... |
| 2 | TM500 | TM501 | Seems to work OK. | |
| 3 | TM500 | TM503 | Seems to work OK. Missing top cover. | |
| 4 | TM500 | TM506 | Seems to work OK. | |
| 5 | TM500 | PG501 | Will service and calibrate this soon. | |
| 6 | TM500 | DC503 | Needs repair but mostly working. Completely worn print on five of the ten buttons. | |
| 7 | TM500 | FG504 | No power... | |
| 8 | TM500 | PG506 | Will service and calibrate this soon. | |
| 9 | 7000 | 7603 | 7A18, 7A18 & 7B53A | Engineer says it worked before he stored it but no trace visible now... |
| 10 | 7000 | 7603 | 7A26, 7A22 & 7B53A | |
| 11 | 7000 | 7613 | Opt 6 Spectrum Analyser Graticule, 7A15Ax2 & 7B53N | |
| 12 | 7000 | R7623 | 7A15A, 7A26 & 7B92A | My least favourite Tek scope? At least it gives me the 7A26 |
| 13 | 7000 | 7633 | 7A15A, 7A18 & 7B50 | |
| 14 | 7000 | 7633 | 7A26, 7A11 & 7B92A | |
| 15 | 200 | 222PS | Carrying bag, pouch with probes as new, ops manual. | Pristine! Needs replacement battery pack and alignment - I could find that caps or dry joints need work when I try that... |
| 16 | 400 | 455 | Pouch, Front cover, manuals | Queued for repair - completely DOA. |
| 17 | 400 | 465 | Pouch, OPT 7 (DC PSU Input) | Queued for repair - no trace. |
| 18 | 400 | 465 | OPT 4 (EMI reduced), OPT 7 (DC PSU Input) | Queued for repair - no trace. |
| 19 | 400 | 465B | Front cover, pouch, manuals, calibration records. | Pristine (bar rear feet) |
| 20 | 400 | 465B | Twitchy - needs service. | |
| 21 | 400 | 465B | Twitchy - needs service. | |
| 22 | 400 | 466 | Analogue storage version of 465 | |
| 23 | 400 | 468 | Storage version of 465B | |
| 24 | 400 | 468 | Damage to A trigger control... | |
| 25 | 400 | 468 | Cover, Op Manual, OPT 4 (EMI), OPT A2 (3 metre power cord with UK plug) | |
| 26 | TDS2000 | TDS2012B | USB version of TDS2012. I'm amazed how accurate it is for frequency readout. I need to take photos for the wiki! | |
| 27 | 2000 | 2445 | Pouch. | Queued for repair: Got this from someone who said it worked 8 years ago. Needs PSU caps and more. Row of knobs below CRT all smashed. |
| 28 | 2000 | 2445 | Pouch, front cover. | Queued for repair: Got this from an engineer who says it has been on Royal Navy tour to The Falklands. Pristine front panel . |
| 29 | 2000 | 2215 | Queued for repair: Got this from an engineer who says the trace is distorted. | |
| 30 | 2000 | 2465 | I'd forgotten I had this - it was in a bundle of things I bought... | |
| 31 | 2000 | 2465 | Bought for spares! I was told that channel 1 & 2 didn't work. On inspection, I can see that the impeller was removed as the shaft grip was broken. That's likely to mean that the chan 1&2 failure was caused by overheating - and I'd not expect U800 to have survived, either. | |
| 32 | 2000 | 2465B | Pouch, OPT 2 (Probe Power) | Queued for repair: RIFA caps + NVRAM (already backed up! Got FRAM replacement to fit.) |
| 33 | 2000 | 2465B | Pouch, OPT 2 (Probe Power) | Queued for repair: RIFA caps + NVRAM (already backed up! Got FRAM replacement to fit.) |
| 34 | 2000 | 2465B | Pouch | My favourite scope! |
| 35 | Waveform Monitors | 1485C | Dual-standard Television Waveform Monitor. |
| Model | Options | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DM63 | I bought this cheap for spares. Hopefully the 155-0056-00 is working so I can complete my 5103N | |
| D67A | Front cover, manuals, calibration records | Immaculate! |
| D75 | Horizontal version of D83 | |
| D83 | I love this for the large screen - same tube as 7403N and 7603 |
I have others... I intend to share more info some time soon.
