The Tektronix 2215 is a portable dual-trace 60 MHz scope from the 2000-series of low-cost analog scopes.

There are two revisions of the 2215, the major difference being in the power supply. Hence two service manuals.

There is also a 2215A (same specifications as 2215 with improved CRT intensity and bandwidth limit ?)
