Default Tektronix oscilloscope focus pot.

Have you tried contacting Deane Kidd? It's been some time since I spoke with
him but presume he's still around. He retired from Tek after 43+ years and has
a houseful (literally) of parts and manuals. He's supplied me with unobtanium
relays and other bits over the years.

Hi,
I contacted Piher UK and they say they stopped making focus pots 8-10 years
ago.
They have suggested I try Panasonic as they make TV's.I will try this
anyway.
It would be a shame to waste a good scope because of one part.

Best of luck sourcing this ... I had a similar problem not long ago with

a
CRT grid bias pot, and had the devil's own job finding a suitable
substitute - in the end a friend found something out of his "junk box"

which
he'd stripped from a LOPT.

Piher might be able to help, but you can bet its not a stock item ...

Hi,
I am trying to source a 2.2Meg PIHER focus potentiometer for a

Tektronix
2225 Oscilloscope.
The pot is marked 2M2 827 and is of all plastic construction.
It has to withstand 2KV potential.
Can anyone give me any pointers on how to find one of these pots.
Thank you.


Judging by your e-mail addr, you are in the uk, so you might try the
company " Stewart of Reading ". They specialise in sales, repairs and
refurbishment of test equipment, and in particular, 'scopes.

They've got a website where you can get contact details. If they can't
help you direct, they can probably point you at someone who can.
