Tek scope service manuals (downloads)

It would be less work to buy another used scope, especially for one that is 60MHz BW. My last functioning analog scope is a HP1725A that cost $140 9 years ago. Probably not worth more than $100 today, and it's 275Mhz BW.

I wish I could, I'm broke at the moment, but I downloded a similar model from

and it's a corrupted rar file, grrrrrrr.

I found the manual at these sites (not free, but not terribly expensive, depending on how broke you are):

I've used Qservice, good reproductions. There's also a Yahoo group for Tek scopes.

I believe that's a common problem. As I recall there's a set of resistors that drift. There's also a set of 6 electrolytics that I've replaced in numerous 22XX scopes.

The service manual for the Tektronix 2215

is not corrupted, but be sure to download all 8 sections before decompression. It's 13M.

yes,check the focus string near the HV multiplier and focus pot. They change value over time. either 510K or 1 meg value,IIRC.

Ok, I've got all 8 downloaded. How do you decompress? Do you need to merege them or something?

Thanks, Ed

You need WinRAR or unRAR (command line version) to unpack. Download all sections first. Unpack the first section and the RAR program will automatically unpack the rest of the sections and glue everything together.

you need winrar
