I have an old Tektronix 3347A 100 mHz scope with an control problem. Power-up is OK and runs fine for about 5 minutes then all buttons become inoperative (all lighted buttons go dark) but CRT display is fine.
Anyone know of a website with ideas for this scope?
Thanks!

I never heard of a TEK "3347A" o'scope,old or new.
I suspect you mean "2247A".
First you need a 2247A SERVICE manual. (At least those still had schematics in them!)
The top PCB is the microprocessor/digital board. You may have a thermal problem with some IC on the uP board.

It's also possible that the PS filter caps for the 5 volt supplies have degraded and ESR risen.Of course the first circuit checks should always be the power supplies;DC voltage,ripple,and regulation.

While I'm not familiar with that series, by the description of the problem I'd start my search at the power supply.

That's good advice. The second thing I'd do is pull and re-seat every single socketed IC. You'd be amazed how many problems result from simple pin oxidation.
