I guess I'm not allowed to join in - unless Telequipment counts? In fairness, the D(M)63 is fairly Tek-like in design, although naturally the components are mostly standard-grade stuff sourced in the UK.
I do have a pair of 2215s in the attic, and I'm hoping to make one from the 2. These haven't done much to endear me to Tek, but I will persevere. These are 60MHz, dual-timebase - nothing special, but fine for general-purpose use.
At work we have a 7000-series beast. It looks exactly like John's photo (7633), but I can't swear to it from memory. It has a soft CRT, sadly, so I wouldn't be able to justify bringing it home - even if it would fit my bench!
We have a couple of 2465Bs, and a few other very similar types from that point in time. I'd be able to fit one of those on the bench
We also have an old 465B, complete with DMM module. The CRT is getting tired now, and the timebase switch is mechanically worn, but it's been used a lot over the years.
We have 2 Tek "lunchbox" DSOs, but they are quite old now and pretty useless. One is mono, one is colour. That's really all I can remember about them - I have no interest in them.
My test gear collection is quite diverse - unlike with my Hacker radio obsession, I have tried to have a healthy mix. Of course, a lot of my collecting is "opportunistic", if that makes sense? I suppose that I've probably got too much Fluke and Philips gear, but HP, TTi and Wavetek are up there too. I've even got one of Jeffrey's contraptions in use still
Welcome John - this place needs more transistor radio fans
