Default Re: Oscilloscope Collection / Junky

I have just two Tek 'scopes - a 545A and a 545B.

Like them VERY much - the 545A has a disappointing screen height of just 4cm vertical, the 545B tube is much better (despite being the same diameter screen).

Z-modulation on both - albeit AC coupled - is rarely used. But when I need it, it's indispensible. Likewise the timebase sawtooth output connector.

Definitely! I have to learn how to drive our best Tek 'scope at work every time I use it.
