Tektronix Oscilloscopes Restoration Guide

Description

An Illustrated Handbook of Vintage ‘Scopes Repair and Preservation

Tektronix oscilloscopes are true masterpieces of electronics and have helped mankind advance in every field of science, wherever a physical phenomenon needed to be observed and studied. They helped man reach the moon, find the cause of plane crashes, and paved the way for thousands of other discoveries.

Restoring and collecting these oscilloscopes is an exciting activity; it is really worthwhile to save them from the effects of time and restore them to their original condition. Many parts are quite easy to find, and there are many Internet sites, groups, and videos that can help you. Much of the original documentation is still available, but it is not always sufficient. This book contains a lot of information, descriptions, suggestions, technical notes, photos and schematics that can be of great help to those who want to restore or simply repair these wonderful witnesses of one of the most beautiful eras in the history of technology.

Component layouts included!

This book includes a nearly complete component layout plan of the original 545 oscilloscope, with relative reference designators. Not found in the original Tektronix manuals, this layout should prove invaluable to the repair technician.

    Gutes Buch mit detaillierten Bildern

    Unentbehrlich für Tek Fans

    Allein die Fotos vom Innenleben sind beindruckend und helfen bei einer Reparatur. Hinzu kommen die zahlreichen Erfahrungsberichte vom Autor, die auch Irrwege beschreiben. Einzelne Funktionsbeschreibungen ergänzen die berühmten Service Manuals vom Tektronix. Der Autor reagiert auf Fragen zum Inhalt des Buches und nimmt auch Anmerkungen dankbar an. Das Buch ist nicht billig, einiges ist auch mit entsprechender Recherche im Internet zu finden. Aber in diser Form einmalig und zum häufigen Stöbern und Lesen für Technikfans ein Muss im Bücherregal. Ich freue mich auf weitere Veröffentlichungen.
