Default tek 2430 oscope

I have a tek 2430 with a non- op trigger. It appears the main micro
processors address lines cross talking. No regular supplier has any.
The distributor search folks want two arms and three legs for one.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanx
Pete


Pete:

You can keep a lookout on eBay for an identical scope, which you will likely
pay $200 for to get it to your house and then keep the busted one for parts.

You can chuck it and buy a different scope on eBay for about the same price.

You can bite the bullet and spend $70 or $80 for a new micro, and hope some
other proprietary IC doesn't fail before your VISA bill is paid off.

Older used stuff has drawbacks, and one of the main ones with equipment of
this type is the non-availability of reasonably priced spare parts. C'est
la vie.

But then you already knew all that.

Life just sucks sometimes.
