Ex-Tek engineer [[John Addis]] recalls his purchase of a Tek 202 cart: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
I purchased my 202 Model A Scopemobile back when I was in college in 1963 and had just purchased a used 545A (then still in production) for $800 (half price). | |||
The 545A was a great investment since it probably contributed in several ways to my getting a job at Tektronix. | |||
I put the scope on the Scopemobile and had it in my dorm room. | |||
At the time there were probably few lab scopes at the Institute that were better than my 545A with Type L plugin. | |||
That would be a difficult achievement nowadays. | |||
One thing I noticed is that the 545A could slide around on the Scopemobile, especially when tilted forward (down in front). | |||
So I drilled two holes in the Scopemobile table and drilled two holes in the bottom rail of the 545A. | |||
Alignment was crucial, of course, and I was careful enough that I got it right the first time. | |||
I tapped the holes in the 545A and ran two ¾” 10-32 screws through the Scopemobile table and into the 545A. | |||
The 545A never budged a millimeter after that! | |||
The Scopemobile still holds the 545A and is in absolutely pristine condition. | |||
Thanks, Gale. | |||
