content: Just as an FYI you can download PDF versions of the service manual, however if you want an original printed copy, then I would recommend looking on eBay. Others here may know of better sources, but that's where I've gotten my manuals from in the past.

content: Quote from: requim on December 28, 2011, 02:46:47 amThanks for the reply. I have the operation manual from the tektronix website, however they do not give away the service manual with the details of calibrating etc that I would like to have on hand.

content: The best scans in my opinion are fromArtek MediaandQservice. I prefer Artek Media because of the better customer service, quicker response and less prominent branding, but I don't have any complaints about the Qservice scans. Stay away from shady vendors like Micro Manuals that try to resell freely available scans on Ebay.

content: I apologize for digging this topic from a grave but I need tek 2225 service manual (wanna repair this old friend) but all I found is a useless user manualI don't mind paying $12 for the service manual (I found few of them selling it) but I looked at Dave's video and I noticed he has a good service manual (not ugly scanned one) so Dave if you can share it, or if you can at least point me to the right direction (where did you get it from) I'd really appreciate itall bestb.

content: Dave - if you've already got the manual scanned would you consider uploading it to one of the sites such ashttp://www.ko4bb.com?As you possibly already know, there are no copyright problems with older Tek manuals - Tek issued a copyright disclaimer for all of the old stuff so it can be freely made available.

content: looking at the video, his datasheet has the table of content, hyperlinks etc etc .. that's why I'd really like to have that one (apart from needing "any" to restore this one back to full health)

content: Copyrights have been released for the manuals for discontinued equipment, but their may be copyrights on the scan. If Dave didn't scan it himself but got someone else to do it, that other person would also have to release their rights. Especially if they had to spend time cleaning it up and adding hyperlinks.

content: Quote from: arhi on April 24, 2012, 01:53:19 pmIMHO you can also use a service manual from a similar model. In most cases the problem is not very model specific. The 2236 scope looks quite like a 2225:http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/tek/2236/Did you check this website as well?http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/TekScopes/BTW: what is wrong with the scope?

content: Thanks Dave. I'll get it from there as on video it looked rather nice@nctnico, few things are wrong- it's a bit uncalibrated (like Dave's, horizontal and vertical need calibration, I can get it calibrated with cal pots on front panel but when I'm already fixing it I can get it to be calibrated in "cal" positions)- front pots (position, trace separation ...) are worn or just dirty. I managed to clean some of them with Kontakt Chemie 61 and they kinda work now but horizontal position course pot is dead and probably must be replaced... At least I need to get to the front board and try to properly clean them as attm I can only see pots from a sideEverything else is ok ...

content: Artek media is well regarded on the TekScopes listThe exact copyright position of a scanned copy could be "interesting" but if Dave only has a PDF copy I think that he is right not to distribute it further.

content: Quote from: nctnico on April 25, 2012, 12:12:02 pmWell, they are rather heavy so shipment to the middle of freaking nowhere where I do unfortunately reside cost arm and a leg + imbecilic countries (like one I reside in) have weird custom policies so that's another source of expense ... so those $100 scopes on ebay tend to be too expensive on Balkan when they are sourced from across the ocean. It gets cheaper to get better dso. I am keeping my eye out for some 7 series tek on German ebay as from time to time they pop up for good price and shipping is acceptable

content: An old thread, but I just bought a manual from Artek Manuals and learned that he has a new web address.http://artekmanuals.com/manuals/tektronix-manuals/He now has a shopping cart and PayPal checkout to make the process a bit easier.Looking over the manual, I'm impressed with the quality. The scans are very high quality, and most or all of the text is actual text via OCR, so it is searchable, (and also indexed) unlike a lot of manuals which are just scanned page images. The schematics are scanned at their full size at 600 dpi, so they have great detail even when zooming in. Well worth $10.
