Those older Tektronics are works of art. The boards were meant to be repaired. I still remember the feeling I got when I took the case off mine. Yes, complicated, but so much thought was put into the layout.

I guess those days are over?

You can buy used ones from army surplus stores at incredibly low prices. I got mine that way and the only thing that it needed to be in spec again was a minor recalibration. Super nice gear.

Indeed. Not if you buy old oscilloscopes they’re not!

They’re still perfectly useful instruments to be honest.
