content: Good afternoon everyone and thank you for taking time to look at my post.A while back I rescued from the dumpster a Techtronix 2213 and a 434 scopes; the 2213 powers on just fine but since I don't have any probes as of yet, I am not able to further troubleshoot what is wrong with it.I've looked at eBay for a manual and found a CD that contains both operator and service for a reasonable price.My question is thus: Should I buy the combo manual CD or get a printed manual?Again, thanks for your time.

I have bought many CDs from Artek and been happy with all of them.The only complaint I have about Artek's manuals is that the PDFs are protected, so you can't add your own annotations to them... there are workarounds for this that I use, but I'd prefer a "clean" unprotected PDF in the first place... but those days are gone, I guess I should be happy I'm not forced to subscribe to the manuals...Printed manuals.... well, printed material just clutters too much for my liking... not that I don't understand the benefit of a beautifully printed manual, I just don't have room for them - and if I ever want to print a manual page, you can easily print a page from a PDF file, right?

content: Note that the 2213 and the 2213a are somewhat different beasts. If your scope is a 2213a, you might also benefit from getting the 2215 service manual.

content: The 2213 and 2213A are very different so make sure to get the correct manual. The 2213/2215 might be considered prototypes of the 100 MHz 2235 series which includes the 60 MHz 2213A/2215A which replaced the older 60 MHz 2213/2215. The chief difference between the 100 MHz and 60 MHz models is that the lack temperature compensated equalization networks in the 60 MHz models.A 2215 manual will mostly work for the 2213 and a 2215A manual will mostly work for the 2213A; the 2215 and 2215A are dual timebase versions of the 2213 and 2213A. The 2215A is a 60 MHz version of the 100 MHz 2235.
