content: Thanks for the great update! Could you double check the vol 2 high resolution download from k100.biz? I just downloaded it again, and it appears to be version 1.0 with 65 PDF pages that was last modified in January and only has a single page devoted to the 2200 series, saying you'll cover the 2430 first in a future version. archive.org has the updated version.

content: I wonder if there would be a market for printing it in a large format and selling them as coffee table books. I would certainly buy a couple as gifts to some people.

content: This is great, thank you so much. As a novice who has just acquired a 2465BCT as my first own oscilloscope as basically a collection of circuit boards the photos are fantastic resources to fathom out what goes where in colour together with working out what I'm still missing - definitely missing the PSU 'swords' know that I know what they are called.

content: I came here this morning to saythank youfor such a fantastic work on these books.I stumbled upon them on the Internet Archive last month, while looking for information on my recently acquired 2445a.What a delightful experience it is to sit with a cup of coffee and browse through its pages. The quality and love put into these photos and writing... man.My most recent restoration project was a 502A, one week ago. I had not plan to own a tube scope before... I can only think that my mind was influenced by these books without even noticing.Hats off to Mr. Becattini.Ciao.

content: I think the pdfs came down from the author's site when theprint bookwas released. You can still track down old copies online if you look for them.If you're after repair info, though, you're probably better starting with the service manual. This book has lots of great photos and info, but isn't really a repair guide. (Hisnewer bookis more that, but a lot of the details are specific to the 545)
