Tektronix 465 oscilloscope teardown
Mick bought and disassembled a Tektronix 465 oscilloscope. It’s a 100 MHz dual trace, dual timebase analog scope. He points out that most of the transistors are socketed instead of soldered. More pics below.

What’s the point? To waste a nice instrument? Just to learn that it had socketed transistors and ICs? How smart! yvz0892
He did not waste anything. To me it seems more like he cleaned and repaired oscilloscope than destroyed it.
I got one scope but only shows to channel dot and can be move across manually . Please can someone help with schematics and also help on how to get the beams to run automatically?
I have full manual with schematics
hey all, I own several different scopes tektronix being the best choice 465/475 the standard proven work horse. I have picked these up from all places for a song or less and have had to repair some of them and would no way just destroy or scrap any of them. most repairs have been small caps and filter caps also resistors. hard to get data on them so seat of the pants and others experience of there repairs have helped a lot. oscilloscopes are just cool and these are an era of electronics that will never be around again and I am glad that I was able and still am able to live it. just my opinion.
Ron, can I get a copy of that documentation? I just bought one of these scopes from a company going out of business.
If any of you guys have a GPIB (IEEE-488) connector on the back of the scope that you would be willing to part with? I also need to replace the B Delay control and maybe one other.
