I’m putting together a work bench to do experiments on the GA 144 processor. I dug my oscilloscope out of (warm, dry) storage and powered it up for about an hour. Everything was fine at the beginning and then I hear a crackling and smoke is pouring out of the unit. And you know how those things are. Once the magic smoke escapes they stop working.
If anyone has a spare scope they could part with I’d be mighty obliged. Or if you know where I can get a low cost repair of a Tektronix 2215…. I used to have a Tek 465 too but it seems to have disappeared in all my travels. Bummer.
Update: Here is a picture of the scope with the missing smoke.
Just below the scope are a pair of 100MHz Oscilloscope Probes
