Hi all,

I bought 3 'used' TEK 2445 scopes ($60 for all) from a local company that
just wanted to clear some space in their warehouse. I was able to get
two of them up and running by swapping some of the components that were
damaged. The third was obviously dropped against the HIGH voltage board
that drives the CRT. Both power up fine now, and one seems to be working
just fine. The second one gives a strange output with nothing connected
to it. The trace seems Ok near 0 on the vertical scale, but if I adjust
the vertical position, the trace get wide, and will trigger a sawtooth
profile. The amplitude for this profile gets larger the further away
form 0 I get. It is too repeatable for noise. Is there an adjustment
for this? Or is it a bad component/board? Any help would be
appreciated.

I'm also curious what value it is to have them "calibrated". There is a
local shop that will do it for $110. Any thoughts?

I know the HV dangers that are posed inside the scope and take all
precautions to prevent electric shock.

Thanks in advance for your help.
