Although it combined high performance with rugged reliability and compactness, the 647 series was one of Tek’s “orphan” scope series, a result of when it was introduced.

By the time the 100 MHz 647A was announced, the majority of the R&D effort at Tek was devoted to the [[7000-series scopes|7000 series]], which introduced just two years later, in 1969.

The entry level 7000 series mainframe started with performance nearly the same as the top of the line 647A.

With on-screen scale factor read-out, and even more compact form factor, 7000 would offer many advantages over any of Tek’s existing lines of scopes.
