no, part of the 465 family of portables. Think
465 good to 400mhz+ (specs are 0-350mhz, but mine
was down 3db at 450mhz. Even better triggering
than a 465. Here's a picture of one on ebay

Oh yes, I recall those. Nice scope but the plug-ins of the
7000 series were pretty versatile.



Agreed. I also have the dual-beam 400mhz
7844 along with a nice stack of plugins.

It is a lovely scope. With 2 timebase plugins
and the dual beam, you can have 2 completely
independent scopes in one box and on one
screen. Very nice for when you suspect the
alternate sweep is lying to you. The only
problem is the huge footprint on your bench.

The 7000-series stuff is an incredible bargain
on ebay. About a penny on the dollar for
what it originally sold for, and the stuff
lasts forever.

I thought my 5000 series scope with three plugins slots was
really nice in it's day. Still use it. 2M bandwidth. Used up to 3.5M
on a TV once. Knew I was down on the bandwidth curve - should have had
a 10M,
but budgets at the time - 70's brought low pay checks for expensive toys.

Bought mine from Tek with an additional curve tracer plugin. :-)

In 1982 I bought a brand new Tek 2235 straight
from the factory. 30% down and the rest in monthly
payment over one year. Tek financed it with no credit
history and living in an apartment. I always get a
nice warm feeling for Tek when I think about that.

I still have the scope and it still works fine.
