Any recommended place to download service manuals ?
Nothing obvious in sci.electronics.repair, or at tek.com
It's for my really old 2215a analog scope, it's out of focus for the
1st half hour, then gets better

However, your model isn't there. Maybe something is close.
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.

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

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
